HP N9X19A StoreVirtual 3200 LFF 12-bays SAS 8-Port 1GbE SCSI 2U Rack-mountable Storage Array

Product Description

The HP N9X19A StoreVirtual 3200 LFF represents a robust and scalable storage solution tailored for the needs of small to medium-sized businesses (SMBs). Housed in a 2U rack-mountable chassis, this storage array provides a significant capacity potential through its 12 large form-factor (LFF) drive bays. LFF drives, typically 3.5-inch, allow for higher capacities per drive, making this array suitable for consolidating large volumes of data efficiently. Connectivity is a key strength of the StoreVirtual 3200. It features SAS (Serial Attached SCSI) connectivity for high-speed data transfer between the drives and the system's controllers. Furthermore, the array is equipped with 8-port 1GbE iSCSI interfaces. iSCSI (Internet Small Computer System Interface) allows block-level storage access over standard Ethernet networks, providing a cost-effective and flexible way to present storage to servers. The 1GbE speed ensures adequate bandwidth for many SMB workloads. Designed with scalability and ease of management in mind, the HP N9X19A StoreVirtual 3200 LFF enables businesses to grow their storage capacity as their data requirements increase. Its integration capabilities with various server environments and its feature set, which often includes data efficiency technologies like thin provisioning and snapshots (depending on software licensing), make it a versatile and valuable component of an SMB's IT infrastructure. This storage array offers a reliable foundation for data storage, backup, and disaster recovery strategies.
