About the HPE MSA 2060 SAS 12G 2U LFF Storage

The HPE MSA 2060 SAS is a dual-controller, 2U midrange storage array engineered for small-to-medium enterprises and distributed branch offices requiring balanced performance and capacity. The system delivers SAS 12G connectivity with RAID protection across large-form-factor drives, supporting mixed workload consolidation with straightforward management interfaces.

Architecturally, the MSA 2060 SAS employs redundant controllers for high availability, enabling non-disruptive upgrades and concurrent I/O paths. The 2U form factor accommodates up to 12 LFF drive bays, providing density suitable for capacity-focused deployments in space-constrained environments. The array supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, and 10 configurations to match data protection and performance requirements.

Target workloads include virtualization host storage, departmental file services, backup repositories, and transactional databases in healthcare, education, and professional services sectors. The MSA 2060 SAS integrates with standard fabric topologies and supports both block and snapshot-based data management workflows common in mid-market IT operations.

Ideal for

  • Virtualization storage for vSphere and Hyper-V clusters in branch office and campus environments
  • Primary storage consolidation for departmental file services and collaborative workloads
  • Backup target storage with snapshot capabilities for distributed healthcare and education facilities
  • Transactional database support for SQL Server and Oracle workloads in mid-market deployments
  • NAS gateway storage backend for protocol-agnostic access across SMB/CIFS and NFS clients
  • Development and test storage provisioning with rapid cloning and space-efficient snapshots
