Product Description
The HP BK829A-RFB is a Smart Array iSCSI Controller specifically designed to integrate with HP's Modular Smart Array (MSA) P2000 Gen3 storage systems. This controller card allows the MSA storage array to present its storage capacity over standard Ethernet networks using the iSCSI protocol. iSCSI (Internet Small Computer System Interface) is a storage networking standard that enables the transmission of SCSI commands over TCP/IP networks, effectively extending block-level storage access over IP networks. By incorporating this iSCSI controller, organizations can leverage their existing Ethernet infrastructure to build a Storage Area Network (SAN) without the need for dedicated Fibre Channel hardware. This offers a cost-effective and flexible solution for accessing shared storage resources, making it ideal for small to medium-sized businesses or for specific departmental needs within larger enterprises. The controller facilitates high-speed data transfer and reliable access to storage volumes. The BK829A-RFB model is often supplied as a refurbished (RFB) unit, indicating it has been previously used, inspected, refurbished, and tested to ensure full functionality. This provides a cost-effective option for upgrading or expanding the capabilities of an HP MSA P2000 Gen3 storage array. It is a key component for enabling network-attached storage solutions that are both scalable and manageable.
