What is an ideal storage for tier 2 or 3 storage for enterprise customers?

Manage small and midrange business growing storage needs by deploying the next generation 6 Gb SAS low cost, flexible tiered external storage system. It is ideal for small application environments in SMBs, remote offices, and departmental locations as well as tier 2 or 3 storage for enterprise customers. The 6 Gb SAS enclosures - Small Form Factor (SFF) D2700 with 25 drive bays - offers modular solutions to simplify capacity expansion of HP ProLiant server environments to external storage without having to make the full move to SAN or NAS.

The HP StorageWorks D2000 series Disk Enclosures is a family of disk drive storage enclosure with 6 Gb SAS host connectivity. The D2000 series is a 2U direct attach, external shared storage solution designed for small to medium size deployments or remote locations. These enclosures deliver industry-leading availability, storage density, and upgradeability to meet customers' demanding and growing storage needs. The D2000 series delivers the ideal mix of low-cost and high capacity, for minimum I/O workloads such as reference data, archival, and disk-to-disk backup.

Maximum storage capacity of 30 TB SAS (1.2 TB SAS), 25 TB SAS MDL (1TB SAS MDL) or SATA (1TB SATA MDL) per enclosure scalable to 240 TB SAS, 200 TB SAS MDL or SATA (dependent on the Smart Array Controller). D2700 also supports SAS SLC and MLC Solid State Drives (SSD) . The number of Solid State drives is limited to twenty five (25) SSDs per controller.

Grow storage capacity easily by attaching up to two D2700 enclosures from a single Controller port, for expansion of up to 4 enclosures or 100 drives, allowing for room to grow as storage demands increase.

With the new Smart Array P421, P431 and P822 Controllers grow your storage capacity easily by attaching up to four (4) D2700 enclosures from a single Controller port, for expansion of up to eight (8) enclosures or 200 drives, allowing for room to grow as storage demands increase.

Standard components of Hp storage Works D2700 Disk Drive are a D2700 base enclosure with redundant power supplies and fan modules , Two (2) integrated 6Gb SAS IO Modules , Rack mounting hardware kit , Two (2) 0.5m mini-SAS cables , Two (2) PDU interconnect cords.

Easy removal of parts provides better serviceability . Dual domain SAS creates redundant pathways from servers to storage devices. The redundant paths created by these configurations reduce or eliminate single points of failure within the storage network. This provides increased levels of high availability with redundant paths from the controller to the drives. Dual domain SAS implementations make it possible to tolerate host bus adapter (HBA) failure, external cable failure, expander failure, failure in a spanned disk (JBOD) environments.

Redundant power and cooling provide increased reliability as a failure of a power supply or fans do not interrupt system functioning.

We can remove / replace/ add components when the system is running without service disruption with hot Plug drives, power, and cooling.

The D2700 is a 2U direct attach, external storage solution designed for small to medium size deployments or remote locations. These enclosures deliver industry-leading availability, storage density, and upgradeability to meet customers' demanding and growing storage needs.
