About the HPE P26325-B21 - HPE Broadcom MR216i-a Controller
The HPE P26325-B21 is an internal storage controller designed in the OCP 3.0 Small Form Factor (SFF) Mezzanine form factor for direct installation into HPE ProLiant Gen10 Plus servers. This HPE Broadcom MR216i-a Storage Controller connects via PCIe Gen4 host interface through its mezzanine connector, delivering modern performance and reliability for enterprise storage deployments. The controller supports both SAS 12Gb/s and SATA 6Gb/s drive interfaces, accommodating up to 16 physical drives and enabling RAID levels 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50, and 60 for flexible data protection strategies. With support for up to 2 simultaneous drive failures when configured in RAID 6 or RAID 60, the P26325-B21 provides robust fault tolerance for mission-critical workloads.
Storage architects and IT procurement teams responsible for HPE infrastructure investments choose the HPE P26325-B21 to modernize their server-based storage subsystems while maintaining vendor ecosystem consistency. The controller integrates seamlessly with HPE iLO 5 Agentless Management and HPE Smart Storage Administrator (SSA) for streamlined configuration and monitoring, while firmware updates are managed through HPE iLO Firmware Update, Intelligent Provisioning, and SPP (Service Pack for ProLiant). Global and dedicated hot spare support minimize downtime during maintenance cycles. Operating system compatibility spans Windows Server, Red Hat Enterprise Linux, SUSE Linux Enterprise Server, and VMware ESXi as supported by HPE SPP, ensuring broad deployment flexibility across heterogeneous environments.
Organizations standardizing on HPE smart storage solutions benefit from the P26325-B21's alignment with HPE genuine component validation requirements and its compatibility with HPE Smart Cache Module (FBWC) systems for optional write-cache acceleration. Whether you are refreshing DL or ML series ProLiant Gen10 Plus server storage capabilities or building new high-availability storage tiers, Omnixon Global can support your infrastructure requirements.
