Direct attached storageThe D2200sb Storage Blade delivers direct attached storage for c-Class servers, with support for up to twelve hot plug small form factor (SFF) SAS hard disk drives or SAS/SATA SSDs or SATA Midline hard disk drives. The enclosure backplane provides a PCI Express connection to the adjacent c-Class server blade and enables high performance storage access without any additional cables. The D2200sb Storage Blade features an onboard Smart Array P410i controller with 1 GB flash-backed write cache (FBWC), for increased performance and data protection.
Two ways to create shared storage with the D2200sbUse HP StoreVirtual VSA software to turn the D2200sb into an iSCSI SAN for use by all servers in the enclosure and any server on the network. HP StoreVirtual VSA software is installed in a virtual machine on a VMware ESX host server adjacent to the D2200sb. HP StoreVirtual VSA turns the D2200sb into a scalable and robust iSCSI SAN, featuring storage clustering for scalability, Network RAID for storage failover, thin provisioning, snapshots, remote replication, and cloning. Expand capacity within the same enclosure or to other BladeSystem enclosures by adding additional D2200sb Storage Blades and HP VSA licenses. A cost effective bundle of the D2200sb Storage Blade and a HP StoreVirtual VSA license makes purchasing convenient. If storage needs increase, add HP P4300 or P4500 systems externally and manage everything via a single pane of glass.
The HP 3840 Gateway Storage Blade is a flexible storage server solution for BladeSystem environments. Combine the HP 3840 Gateway Storage Blade with the D2200sb Storage Blade to enable file serving and iSCSI shared storage inside the BladeSystem enclosure.
