The HP StorageWorks D2200sb PCIe Storage Blade (part number: AP882A) is a blade-based storage solution designed to offer direct-attached storage for HP BladeSystem server environments. It delivers reliable, scalable, and high-performance storage with ease of deployment. The D2200sb fits directly into the HP BladeSystem c-Class enclosure, helping to optimise space and reduce cabling requirements, while providing ample storage capacity for applications such as virtualisation and large databases.
The D2200sb features 12 drive bays that support both SAS (Serial Attached SCSI) and SATA (Serial ATA) drives, offering flexibility to mix and match drives based on your specific performance and capacity needs. It supports hot-swappable drives, allowing for quick replacement or upgrades without downtime. Additionally, the RAID controllers ensure data integrity by providing advanced protection strategies, supporting RAID levels 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50, and 60.
For interfaces, the storage blade operates with a PCIe 2.0 connection, delivering fast data transfer speeds. It also includes dual port SAS controllers, which contribute to greater redundancy and higher availability. The D2200sb integrates seamlessly with HP ProLiant Blade servers, supporting various workloads efficiently. This array is also equipped with optional Smart Array P410i Controller to further enhance storage performance and manageability.
The blade is an ideal storage extension for HP c-Class BladeSystems, providing up to 12 TB of raw storage capacity when fully populated with large SATA drives. It is typically used in conjunction with clustered servers, enabling organisations to maintain high data availability and performance outcomes.
