Investing in the HPE Smart Array P816i-a SR Gen10 LH Controller is a step towards securing and enhancing your server’s storage architecture. This controller is engineered to support modern enterprise environments requiring heightened storage performance and advanced data protection. With the ability to handle 12Gb/s SAS and PCIe 3.0, it’s designed for speed and versatility, adapting to both existing and future storage needs.
The controller’s 4 GB flash-backed write cache plays a crucial role in accelerating write-intensive operations, ensuring data protection during power losses. By providing support for a variety of advanced RAID levels, the controller also guarantees data redundancy and improved performance, vital in maintaining continuous system uptime and protecting critical business information.
System administrators will appreciate the Mixed Mode feature that allows for simultaneous RAID and HBA operations, adding to the flexibility of storage management. Enhanced connectivity through its 16 internal SAS lanes means this controller can support a substantial number of direct-attached storage devices, increasing the server’s capacity without additional hardware.
Data security remains paramount in modern IT ecosystems, and the HPE Smart Array P816i-a addresses this with its Secure Encryption feature, safeguarding sensitive data-at-rest across any drives it manages. This not only helps in compliance with industry regulations but also protects against unauthorized access.
The included HPE Smart Array SR SmartCache license is an added benefit, enabling performance acceleration especially for HDD-based arrays. The modular design of the type-a controller ensures it does not take up a PCI expansion slot, reserving those for other critical components.
Implementation of the controller is more straightforward thanks to its compatibility with the HPE Smart Storage Battery, which endorses multiple devices and ensures backup power for its cache. While the battery is sold separately, this integration potential provides a cost-effective solution that extends the capabilities of your server without additional investment in redundant hardware.
In summary, the HPE Smart Array P816i-a SR Gen10 LH Controller represents a blend of performance, efficiency, security, and scalability, making it an ideal choice for businesses seeking to fortify their data center’s storage infrastructure.
The HPE Smart Array P816i-a SR Gen10 Controller, supporting 12Gb/s SAS and PCIe 3.0, is ideal for maximizing performance while supporting advanced RAID levels with 4 GB flash-backed write cache (FBWC). This controller operates in Mixed Mode which combines RAID and HBA operations simultaneously. It has 16 internal SAS lanes, allowing connection of up to 16 SAS or SATA drives without need for the SAS Expander Card providing point to point connectivity to SSDs for lower latency. It also offers encryption for data-at-rest on any drive with HPE Smart Array SR Secure Encryption and accelerates access to data on HDDs with the HPE Smart Array SR SmartCache license which comes standard with this controller. This type-a modular controller occupies a dedicated storage slot without occupying a PCIe expansion slot and provides enterprise-class storage performance, reliability, security and efficiency needed to address your evolving data storage needs. The Gen10 controllers are supported by the HPE Smart Storage Battery, which supports multiple devices and is sold separately.
