Description

The HPE MSA 2070 is a 2U SAN Storage Array purpose-built for entry-level shared storage environments demanding high performance and simplified management. Featuring dual 32Gb Fibre Channel 4-port controllers and 24 x 2.5" SFF drive bays, this Gen7 array delivers up to 2x more IOPS and 30% greater sequential bandwidth than the previous generation — making it ideal for virtualised workloads, SMB deployments, and government or defence environments requiring TAA compliance. Redundant 580W power supplies, hot-swap drives and controllers, and HPE MSA-DP+ advanced RAID ensure continuous availability.

The MSA 2070 SFF scales to 9 expansion enclosures for up to 7.37 PB raw capacity and supports real-time automated data tiering for hybrid configurations. Management is streamlined via the HPE MSA Storage Management Utility (SMU v.4) with guided setup workflows, RESTful (Redfish/Swordfish) and CLI interfaces, and non-disruptive firmware upgrades. Self-encrypting drive (SED) support and TAA compliance make this model suitable for secure government procurement. Available now at iptrading.com.au — competitive prices and local support.

FAQs

Q: What host connectivity does the HPE MSA 2070 S3T85A support?
A: The HPE MSA 2070 S3T85A is equipped with dual 32Gb Fibre Channel controllers, each providing 4 host ports, for a total of 8 x 32Gb FC host ports. This delivers high-bandwidth, low-latency SAN connectivity suited to virtualised and performance-sensitive workloads.

Q: What does TAA-compliant mean for this storage array?
A: TAA (Trade Agreements Act) compliance means the MSA 2070 S3T85A meets US federal procurement requirements for country-of-origin restrictions. Note that TAA-compliant MSA 2070 models require a minimum of 6 factory-integrated MSA drives ordered through HPE Factory Integration Services.

Q: How many drives can the HPE MSA 2070 SFF support and what is the maximum capacity?
A: The base 2U enclosure holds 24 x 2.5" SFF drives. With up to 9 expansion enclosures (LFF or SFF), the system can scale to a maximum raw capacity of 7.37 PB, supporting both HDD and SSD (including self-encrypting drives).

Q: What is HPE MSA-DP+ and how does it improve resilience?
A: MSA-DP+ is HPE's advanced distributed RAID technology included in the MSA Gen7 portfolio. It delivers up to 25x faster drive rebuild times compared to traditional RAID, significantly reducing the window of vulnerability following a drive failure in production environments.

Q: Can the HPE MSA 2070 integrate with VMware or other virtualisation platforms?
A: Yes. The MSA 2070 supports VMware Site Recovery Manager and HPE Zerto Virtual Replication (optional licensing required). It also supports RESTful management via Redfish and Swordfish APIs, simplifying integration with modern virtualised and cloud-adjacent infrastructure.

Q: Can I purchase the HPE MSA 2070 S3T85A in Australia from IP Trading?
