HPE P44398-B21 Smart Array P408i-a SR 12G SAS Modular Controller is a cutting-edge storage controller that is designed for use with HPE Gen10 servers. The device is an essential component of a server infrastructure, as it provides the necessary storage capabilities that are required for efficient data management. This controller is built on HPE's Smart Array technology and features a modular design that makes it easy to scale up or down as the needs of the organization change.
Smart Array TechnologyThe HPE P44398-B21 Smart Array P408i-a SR 12G SAS Modular Controller is built on HPE's Smart Array technology, which is a combination of hardware and software that provides a high-performance, reliable, and scalable storage solution. This technology allows for the creation of a redundant array of independent disks (RAID) that enables data to be distributed across multiple disks, thereby improving data performance, availability, and security.
Modular DesignThe HPE P44398-B21 Smart Array P408i-a SR 12G SAS Modular Controller features a modular design that makes it easy to scale up or down as the needs of the organization change. The controller can be configured with up to 24 drives, and additional modules can be added to support even more drives. The modular design also allows for easy maintenance, as individual components can be replaced without having to replace the entire controller.
SAS TechnologyThe HPE P44398-B21 Smart Array P408i-a SR 12G SAS Modular Controller uses Serial Attached SCSI (SAS) technology, which is a high-speed, high-performance interface that is designed for use with storage devices. SAS technology provides a number of advantages over other storage technologies, including higher data transfer rates, greater scalability, and better reliability.
12G SASThe HPE P44398-B21 Smart Array P408i-a SR 12G SAS Modular Controller supports 12G SAS, which is the latest generation of SAS technology. 12G SAS provides even faster data transfer rates than previous generations, with a maximum data transfer rate of 12 Gb/s per channel. This increased speed allows for faster data access and improved performance.
RAID LevelsThe HPE P44398-B21 Smart Array P408i-a SR 12G SAS Modular Controller supports a variety of RAID levels, including RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50, and 60. RAID 0 is a striped volume that provides increased performance but no fault tolerance, while RAID 1 is a mirrored volume that provides fault tolerance but no performance increase. RAID 5 is a volume that provides both performance and fault tolerance, while RAID 6 provides additional fault tolerance by allowing for the failure of two drives. RAID 10, 50, and 60 are more complex RAID levels that provide even greater performance and fault tolerance.
Management Software
The HPE P44398-B21 Smart Array P408i-a SR 12G SAS Modular Controller comes with a suite of management software that makes it easy to configure, monitor, and maintain the controller. The software includes the HPE Smart Storage Administrator (SSA), which provides a single interface for managing all of the storage devices in the infrastructure. The SSA allows administrators to monitor the health of the storage devices, configure RAID arrays, and perform other management tasks.
In Summary, the HPE P44398-B21 Smart Array P408i-a SR 12G SAS Modular Controller is an essential component of a modern server infrastructure. The controller is built on HPE's Smart Array technology and features a modular design that makes it easy to scale up or down as the needs of the organization change. The controller supports 12G SAS technology and a variety of RAID levels,
