Description
Storage Capacity and Options
The HPE ProLiant BL460c Gen9 server comes with multiple storage options that enable users to choose the most appropriate storage solution based on their requirements. The server supports both hot-plug SAS and SATA hard drives, as well as solid-state drives (SSDs) with varying capacities.
The server’s onboard storage controller is the HPE Smart Array P244br with 1GB FBWC, which supports up to eight internal SAS or SATA drives. The P244br supports RAID levels 0, 1, 10, 5, 50, 6, and 60, providing users with flexibility in data protection options. The Smart Array P244br also supports HPE SmartCache, which uses SSDs to accelerate read-intensive workloads.
Additionally, the BL460c Gen9 server has an optional HPE FlexibleLOM adapter, which supports multiple networking options such as 10 Gb Ethernet, 20 Gb Ethernet, and InfiniBand. This adapter can be configured to support a variety of network speeds and protocols, providing high-performance networking options.
Moreover, the HPE ProLiant BL460c Gen9 server also supports external storage solutions through the use of external storage enclosures. The server has two mezzanine slots that can be used to add additional storage controllers, allowing for even more storage options and configurations.
Form Factor and Blade Server Design
The HPE Proliant BL460c Gen9 server is designed as a half-height blade server that fits into the HPE BladeSystem c-Class enclosure. It has a slim and sleek design that helps in efficient use of rack space. The server supports hot-plug SAS, SATA and NVMe solid-state drives (SSDs) that allow easy installation and replacement of storage devices.
The BL460c Gen9 server comes with two hot-plug drive bays that support SAS, SATA, and NVMe SSDs, which allows for storage expansion up to 4TB of total storage. The server also supports HPE Smart Storage Controllers that provide high-performance SAS/SATA/SSD data transfer rates with up to 12 Gb/s SAS and 6 Gb/s SATA speeds.
The server is designed to support up to 128 GB of DDR4 memory, which can be configured with up to 16 DIMM slots. The server also supports HPE FlexibleLOM technology that allows customers to choose the network interface controller (NIC) that best suits their needs. This flexibility allows for future upgrades or changes to network requirements.
