High Performance for RAID Controller Storage Array
The AP837A HP SATA 8 Gbps Modular Smart Array P2000 Storage Raid Controller is designed to provide high performance for HP P2000 Storage Arrays. This is achieved through several key features:
- SATA 8 Gbps interface: The controller features a fast 8 Gbps interface that allows for fast data transfer speeds, which can improve the overall performance of the storage array.
- RAID support: The controller supports several RAID levels, such as RAID 0, 1, 5, 6 and 10, which allows for data protection and performance optimization. RAID 0 provides data striping for increased performance, RAID 1 provides data mirroring for redundancy, RAID 5 provides data striping with parity for fault tolerance, RAID 6 provides data striping with dual parity for fault tolerance and RAID 10 provides both striping and mirroring for a balance of performance and data protection.
- Fibre Channel and iSCSI support: The controller supports both Fibre Channel and iSCSI protocols, which allows for flexible connectivity options and can improve performance by reducing the impact of network latency.
- Online Capacity Expansion and RAID Level Migration: These features allow you to increase the storage capacity of the array without shutting down the system, and also change the RAID level without losing data.
- HP Storage Works Management Software: This software allows for easy management and monitoring of the storage array, which can improve the efficiency and reliability of storage operations.
The AP837A HP SATA 8 Gbps Modular Smart Array P2000 Storage Raid Controller is designed to provide high performance and reliability for HP P2000 Storage Arrays, with a combination of fast data transfer speeds, advanced RAID support, flexible connectivity options, and easy management and monitoring.
High Availability Design
High availability (HA) design refers to the ability of a system to continue operating and providing service even in the event of a failure or malfunction. The AP837A HP SATA 8 Gbps Modular Smart Array P2000 Storage Raid Controller is designed with high availability features that can help to ensure that the storage array is always available and can reduce the risk of downtime.
Some of the key features that contribute to the high availability design of the AP837A controller include:
- Redundant components: The controller is designed with redundant components, such as power supplies and cooling fans, which can help to ensure that the system can continue operating even if one component fails.
- Advanced Features such as Online Capacity Expansion and RAID Level Migration : These features allow you to increase the storage capacity of the array without shutting down the system, and also change the RAID level without losing data.
- Automatic failover: The controller can automatically failover to a redundant component in the event of a failure, which can help to minimize downtime.
- HP Storage Works Management Software: This software allows for easy management and monitoring of the storage array, which can improve the efficiency and reliability of storage operations.
- Hot-swap support: The controller supports hot-swapping, which allows you to replace a failed component without shutting down the system.
The AP837A HP SATA 8 Gbps Modular Smart Array P2000 Storage Raid Controller is designed to provide a high level of availability, through a combination of redundant components, advanced RAID support, automatic failover, and easy management and monitoring features.
Fibre Channel and ISCSI Support
The AP837A HP SATA 8 Gbps Modular Smart Array P2000 Storage Raid Controller supports both Fibre Channel (FC) and iSCSI protocols, allowing for flexible connectivity options to the storage array.
- Fibre Channel: Fibre Channel is a high-speed, lossless data transfer protocol that is commonly used to connect storage devices to servers in a storage area network (SAN). FC uses a dedicated, high-speed link between the server and the storage device, which can improve performance by reducing the impact of network latency.
- iSCSI: iSCSI is a protocol that allows for SCSI commands to be sent over TCP/IP networks, which allows for storage devices to be connected to servers over standard Ethernet networks. iSCSI can be useful for connecting servers to storage devices in remote locations or for connecting servers to storage devices over existing network infrastructure.
FC and iSCSI can be used to connect the AP837A controller to the host servers, which allows the administrators to choose the best protocol that fits their specific requirements and infrastructure.
The ability to support both FC and iSCSI protocols allows administrators to choose the best protocol that fits their specific requirements and infrastructure. For example, if low latency and high performance are a priority, Fibre Channel may be the best choice, while if cost-effectiveness and ease of use are more important, iSCSI may be the better option.

Data loss or damages to any other equipment we do not cover by our offered warranty.
What is the Manufacturer/Brand Warranty?
In general, a manufacturer's warranty service/support is a written guarantee to the buyer of a product. Its terms assure the replacement or repair of the product, if necessary, within a specified period after the purchase (2-5 years depending on the brand/manufacturer). It is typically included in the price of the product. Products are brand new and sealed and the original manufacturer box is complete with the Manufacturer's genuine warranty. For most of the brand new/retail products that come with the manual and box, exceptions may apply (i.e., Cisco, Juniper Networks).
For the server parts (i.e., Dell, HPE) to get Full coverage of the warranty server must have a full 3- 5 years warranty. However, ALLHDD.COM will cover the warranty duration if any Manufacturer doesn't support the advertised warranty and there is no refund for those.
Final Sale items are non-returnable/refundable in any situation. Any question? please ask our team before the shipment.
