Description
Performance and Reliability
The HP StorageWorks Modular Smart Array 2324FC G2 (AJ955A) is a single-controller storage array that provides both performance and reliability for demanding storage environments. It’s designed for use in small to medium-sized businesses, remote branch offices, and enterprise data centers.
In terms of performance, the AJ955A offers a high-speed Fibre Channel interface, with a maximum data transfer rate of up to 2 Gbps. It also supports multiple host connectivity, allowing multiple servers to access the same storage array, which helps improve overall system performance.
In terms of reliability, the AJ955A includes features such as hardware-based RAID protection, hot-swappable components, and redundant power and cooling systems. These features help ensure that data remains available and protected even in the event of a component failure.
Additionally, the AJ955A supports multiple levels of data protection, including RAID 0, 1, 5, and 6, allowing you to choose the level of protection that meets your specific data storage needs. The storage array also supports online capacity expansion, allowing you to add capacity as your data storage needs grow, without disrupting operations.
Expansion and Scalability
Expansion refers to the ability of the AJ955A HP CTO Storageworks Modular Smart Array 2324FC G2 Single Controller Hard Drive Array to grow in size and capacity as needed. This can be done by adding more hard drive bays or expanding the storage capacity of existing bays.
Scalability refers to the ability of the array to handle an increase in demand for data storage and processing. The AJ955A HP CTO Storageworks Modular Smart Array 2324FC G2 Single Controller Hard Drive Array is designed with scalability in mind, allowing for the addition of more controllers to increase performance and meet the demands of a growing business.
In terms of expansion, the AJ955A HP CTO Storageworks Modular Smart Array 2324FC G2 Single Controller Hard Drive Array can support up to 24 hard drive bays. As data storage needs increase, additional hard drives can be added to the array, providing increased storage capacity.
In terms of scalability, the AJ955A HP CTO Storageworks Modular Smart Array 2324FC G2 Single Controller Hard Drive Array has the ability to support multiple controllers, allowing for increased performance and the ability to handle more demanding workloads. This means that as the demand for data storage and processing increases, the array can be easily scaled to meet those demands.
Remote Management and Monitoring
The AJ955A HP CTO Storageworks Modular Smart Array 2324FC G2 Single Controller Hard Drive Array is a storage system that provides remote management and monitoring capabilities. This allows administrators to manage and monitor the system from a remote location, without the need to physically access the storage system.
The remote management and monitoring capabilities are achieved through the use of a web-based interface, which provides real-time information about the status of the system, including the health of the hard drives, storage utilization, and system performance. This information is displayed in an easy-to-understand format, allowing administrators to quickly identify any potential issues and take action to resolve them.
In addition to the web-based interface, the AJ955A also includes alerting and notification capabilities, which can be configured to send notifications to administrators via email or SMS in the event of a critical system issue. This allows administrators to take immediate action to resolve the issue, even if they are not physically present at the location of the storage system.
