FAQs

Q: What is the HPE MSA 2072 10/25GbE iSCSI SFF Storage designed for?
A: The HPE MSA 2072 is designed as an entry-level enterprise shared storage array, ideal for SME and mid-market organisations running virtualisation (VMware, Hyper-V), databases, and mixed workloads. Its iSCSI connectivity allows it to operate over standard 10/25GbE Ethernet infrastructure, reducing the need for dedicated FC switching.

Q: Does the HPE MSA 2072 support high availability?
A: Yes. The MSA 2072 ships with dual controllers, providing active-active redundancy. If one controller fails, the other takes over transparently, ensuring continuous access to data for business-critical applications.

Q: What drives are compatible with the HPE MSA 2072 SFF?
A: The MSA 2072 SFF supports 2.5-inch Small Form Factor drives, including SSDs and SAS HDDs. Mixed configurations are supported to enable HPE's automated tiering (Read Cache or Tiering), which moves frequently accessed data to faster SSD tiers automatically.

Q: Can the HPE MSA 2072 be expanded beyond its base capacity?
A: Yes. The MSA 2072 can be expanded using HPE MSA SFF expansion enclosures, allowing organisations to scale capacity as storage demands grow without replacing the base controller unit.

Q: Is the HPE MSA 2072 compatible with VMware and other hypervisors?
A: Yes. The HPE MSA 2072 is certified for use with VMware vSphere, Microsoft Hyper-V, Red Hat Enterprise Linux, and other major hypervisors and operating systems. HPE provides storage integration plugins such as the vSphere Web Client Plugin for simplified management.
