About the HPE MSA 2080 Storage Array
The HPE MSA 2080 Storage Array (R9T14A) delivers up to 80 drives in a compact 2U rack-mountable form factor, positioning this mid-range SAN solution as the architecture tier for growing enterprises balancing density with operational efficiency. HPE engineered this dual active-active controller system with 4 GB read cache per controller to serve environments where consistent performance and high availability are non-negotiable—from virtualized data centers to hybrid cloud infrastructure.
Storage architects and IT procurement teams select the MSA 2080 for its flexible drive support across SFF SAS SSD, SFF SAS HDD, and LFF SAS HDD configurations, paired with multiple connectivity pathways: 8Gb/16Gb Fibre Channel, 10GbE iSCSI, and 1GbE iSCSI options. Enterprise data services—snapshots, volume copy, remote replication, thin provisioning, SSD read cache, and automated tiering—integrate natively, while redundant hot-plug power supplies and fans ensure continuous uptime. HPE MSA Storage Management Utility (SMU), embedded web GUI, CLI, and REST API enable streamlined provisioning across VMware vSphere, Microsoft Hyper-V, VMware ESXi, Microsoft Windows Server, Red Hat Enterprise Linux, SUSE Linux Enterprise Server, and Oracle Linux environments. Expansion via HPE D3610 and D3710 enclosures scales capacity without rearchitecting. File protocol support for SMB (CIFS) and NFS extends applicability beyond block storage use cases. RoHS, CE, FCC, and UL compliance align with global regulatory frameworks.
Typical Enterprise Deployment Scenarios
- Multi-tier virtualization clusters requiring active-active controller redundancy and mixed SSD/HDD tiering
- Backup and disaster recovery environments leveraging snapshots, volume copy, and remote replication services
- Mixed-protocol deployments combining Fibre Channel SAN with iSCSI and NFS-served file shares
- Mid-market data centers scaling from 40 to 80 drives using native expansion enclosure compatibility
- Linux and Windows Server workloads demanding vendor-neutral management via REST API and CLI automation
