Do you need a direct attached or shared storage solution within your BladeSystem enclosure?

Direct attached storage

The D2220sb Storage Blade delivers direct attached storage for c small form factor (SFF) SAS or SATA hard disk drives or SAS/SATA SSDs. The enclosure backplane provides a PCI Express connection to the adjacent c D2220sb Storage Blade features an onboard Smart Array P420i controller with 2GB flash performance and data protection. Up to eight D2220sb storage devices can be supported off a single BladeSystem c7000 enclosure

Two ways to create shared storage with the D2220sb

Fault Prevention The following features offer detection of possible failures before they occur, allowing preventive action

to be taken:

• S.M.A.R.T.: Self Monitoring Analysis and Reporting Technology first developed at HPE detects

possible hard disk failure before it occurs, allowing replacement of the component before failure occurs.

• Drive Parameter Tracking monitors drive operational parameters, predicting failure and

notifying the administrator. Dynamic Sector Repairing continually performs background surface scans on the hard disk
