Description
Reliability of SAS Dual Control Hard Drive
The 2072S2C IBM Storwize SFF SAS Dual Control Hard Drive Array Enclosure is designed to provide high levels of reliability and availability for data-intensive applications. It features a dual-controller architecture, which provides redundancy in case of a controller failure, ensuring that data is still accessible even if one controller goes down.
The 2072S2C also supports a variety of RAID levels, including RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, and 10, which can be used to protect data against disk failures. Additionally, the enclosure features hot-swappable drive bays, allowing for easy replacement of failed drives without disrupting access to data.
The 2072S2C also supports IBM HyperSwap and IBM Global Mirror, which improve disaster recovery and business continuity. IBM HyperSwap allows for the use of a remote system to provide a hot spare in case of a failure of the primary system, while IBM Global Mirror provides real-time data replication to a remote site for disaster recovery.
The 2072S2C also supports advanced management and monitoring capabilities through the use of IBM Storage Manager and IBM Spectrum Control, which can be used to proactively identify and address potential issues before they become critical.

Scalability and Capacity Options
The 2072S2C IBM Storwize SFF SAS Dual Control Hard Drive Array Enclosure has a scalable architecture that allows for the addition of expansion enclosures to increase storage capacity and performance. It supports up to 192 drive bays in a single enclosure and can be expanded to support more than 1.5PB of storage capacity using IBM DS8700 and DS8800 series expansion enclosures.
In terms of scalability, the 2072S2C can be configured in different ways to meet the specific requirements of an organization. Users can choose from a variety of SAS drive options, including high-performance SAS drives, nearline SAS drives, and SAS solid-state drives (SSDs), to balance performance and capacity.
Additionally, the 2072S2C supports IBM Easy Tier, which automatically moves frequently accessed data to higher-performance drives, such as SSDs, to improve overall storage performance. IBM Real-time Compression can also be used to improve storage capacity utilization.
The 2072S2C also supports the use of IBM HyperSwap and IBM Global Mirror to improve disaster recovery and business continuity. IBM HyperSwap allows for the use of a remote system to provide a hot spare in case of a failure of the primary system, while IBM Global Mirror provides real-time data replication to a remote site for disaster recovery.
