HPE D6020 Disk Enclosure

Finding it difficult to keep up with the growth in unstructured data? Looking for a cost-effective high capacity storage option?

6 Gb/s SAS

The HPE Apollo A4520 supports six (6) D6020 enclosures per A4520 (3 per node).

Reduce cost and footprint for your HPE ProLiant servers and BladeSystems storage expansion needs with the HPE D6020 Enclosure.

With the 12 Gb/s SAS HPE D6020 Disk Enclosure, Hewlett Packard Enterprise extends and redefines direct-attached storage for ProLiant servers and BladeSystems, combining the simplicity and cost effectiveness of direct-attached storage without sacrificing flexibility or performance. The D6020, designed for data-intensive environments is a storage enclosure for dense, cost-effective external storage expansion for massive data capacity applications, at low $/GB. The HPE D6020 can be used not only as a

standalone Direct Attach Enclosure, but can also be used for expansion in storage applications like Microsoft Storage Space, Luster, Cloud Backup, Data Protection or Big Data environments (Unstructured and Structured)

The D6020 can be directly connected to ProLiant Gen9 servers using the Smart Array P441, and the P841 Controllers using a standard 2M SAS cable/ The HPE D6020 also supports the HPE H241 Host Bus Adapter (HBA). HPE ProLiant Gen10 server direct connectivity is supported with the E208e-p SR Gen10 Controller and the HPE Smart Array P408e-p SR Gen10 Controller.

Use the D6020 as part of a straight-forward in-rack 6 Gb/s SAS implementation that delivers high-density, low-cost external zoned direct attach storage for HPE BladeSystem servers. Easily configure storage on the fly with easy to use management software.

Three enclosures can be daisy-chained together to provide support for up to 210 drives. Up to six D6020 storage devices can be

supported off a single BladeSystem enclosure. 12Gb/s host connectivity enables higher performance, eases configuration/deployment and broadens supported features of a D6020 using HPE Smart Array P741m controller and BL switches.

• Keeps data available and server running while a failed drive is being replaced; two fault

tolerance configurations are supported for the internal connections including:

• RAID 0 (striping) provides no extra data protection.

• RAID 1 (mirroring) protects against failure of one drive.

• RAID 1+0 (mirroring and striping) protects against failure of one drive (and failure of

particular multiple drives).

• RAID 5 (distributed data guarding) protects against failure of one drive.

• RAID 6 with ADG (Advanced Data Guarding): This is the highest level of fault tolerance.

• RAID 50 (RAID 5+0) protects against failure of one drive (and failure of particular multiple

drives).

• RAID 60 (RAID 6+0) allows administrators to split the RAID 6 storage across multiple

external boxes.

• RAID 1 ADM (Advanced Data Mirroring) allows customers to create mirrored RAID set using

3 identical hard drives.
