Description

The HPE MSA 2070 Gen7 SAN Storage Array delivers enterprise-grade shared storage in a 2U, 12-bay Large Form Factor chassis with dual 16Gb Fibre Channel 4-port controllers and dual redundant 580W power supplies. Designed for mid-range workloads, it delivers up to 2x more IOPS and 30% more sequential bandwidth than Gen6, with scalable capacity beyond 7 PB per array — making it an ideal foundation for virtualised environments, mixed workloads, and government or public sector deployments requiring TAA compliance.

Built on HPE MSA-DP+ advanced RAID technology, the MSA 2070 enables up to 25x faster rebuild times than traditional RAID and supports real-time automated data tiering across SSD and HDD within a single array. Expansion to up to nine additional MSA enclosures, support for Self-Encrypting Drives, and non-disruptive online firmware updates ensure operational continuity at scale. Available now at iptrading.com.au — competitive prices and local support.

FAQs

Q: What host connectivity does the HPE MSA 2070 S1H50A support?
A: The S1H50A is configured with dual 16Gb Fibre Channel controllers, each providing 4 FC ports, for a total of 8 host-facing FC ports across both controllers. It does not support iSCSI or SAS host connectivity — those are separate MSA 2070 SKUs.

Q: How many drives can this array hold, and what drive types are supported?
A: The base unit accommodates 12 Large Form Factor (LFF) drives. It supports Enterprise SAS HDDs, Midline SAS HDDs, SSDs, and Self-Encrypting Drive (SED) variants of both SSD and HDD. Up to 9 expansion enclosures can be added, scaling capacity well beyond 7 PB per array.

Q: What makes HPE MSA-DP+ different from traditional RAID?
A: HPE MSA-DP+ (Data Protection Plus) distributes spare capacity across all drives in the pool rather than dedicating a fixed spare drive. This results in up to 25x faster rebuild times compared to traditional RAID, significantly reducing the vulnerability window after a drive failure.

Q: Is this storage array TAA-compliant, and what does that mean for government buyers?
A: Yes, the S1H50A is TAA (Trade Agreements Act) compliant, making it eligible for US federal government contracts and suitable for Australian government and public sector projects with similar sourcing requirements. Note that TAA compliance requires a minimum of 6 factory-integrated CTO MSA drives to be ordered with the array.

Q: Can I purchase the HPE MSA 2070 S1H50A in Australia from IP Trading?
A: Yes. IP Trading (iptrading.com.au) stocks and supplies HPE storage solutions including the MSA 2070 range to Australian businesses and government organisations, with competitive pricing and local support.

Q: Does the HPE MSA 2070 support automated data tiering between SSD and HDD?
A: Yes. When the array is configured in a hybrid mode with both SSDs and HDDs, the MSA 2070 Gen7 provides real-time, automated data tiering — hot data migrates to SSD and cooler data moves to HDD automatically. This can deliver up to 4x more system IOPS compared to an all-HDD configuration with minimal SSD investment. This feature is available as part of the optional MSA Advanced Data Services Suite.
