Are you looking for a cost effective
enterprise-class controller for internal attached drives without occupying a PCIe expansion slot? The HPE Smart Array E208i-a SR Gen10 Controller
supporting 12 Gb/s SAS and PCIe 3.0
provides a cost-effective storage solution with enterprise-class reliability supporting RAID 0
1
5
and 10 and software-defined storage (SDS). This controller has eight internal SAS lanes
allowing connection to SAS or SATA drives
supports Mixed Mode operations of RAID and HBA simultaneously
and offers encryption for data-at rest on any drive. This type-a modular controller occupies a dedicated storage slot without occupying a PCIe expansion slot.
Cost-Effective SAS Storage Connectivity
The HPE Smart Array E208i-a SR Gen10 Controller is a cost effective enterprise-class controller that provides the basic building blocks for simple RAID storage solutions while delivering 12 Gb/s SAS connectivity on HPE ProLiant Gen10 Servers when connected to 12 Gb/s internal storage devices.
Offers a low-cost solution to enable software-defined storage.
Built-in Reliability and Security
The HPE Smart Array E208i-a SR Gen10 Controller protects data-at-rest on any drive attached to the controller with HPE Smart Array SR Secure Encryption (optional license).
Comply with regulations for sensitive data
such as HIPAA and Sarbanes-Oxley with HPE Smart Array SR Secure Encryption.
Preserve data integrity with HPE SmartSSD Wear Gauge
which alerts you to potential drive issues before a drive fails.
Improved Efficiency and Storage Management
The HPE Smart Array E208i-a SR Gen10 Controller has increased flexibility with Mixed Mode which operates in RAID and HBA simultaneously and eliminates the expense of having to purchase another controller.
Rapidly configure simple RAID volumes on servers with the UEFI storage configuration tool
which also facilitates scripting support to configure an array via iLO through RESTful interface.
Quickly set up
configure
and manage drives attached to the controller with HPE Smart Storage Administrator (SSA)
an intuitive interface used to create RAID volumes
manage advanced controller features
and deploy Smart Array solutions.
