S3T81A is the HPE MSA 2072 32Gb Fibre Channel SFF hybrid-flash storage array, a 2U block system with 24 SFF drive bays. Two 1.92 TB Read Intensive SFF SSDs are integrated at the factory, and one MSA Data Services license is part of the package.
That license covers performance tiering, 512 snapshots with volume copy, and Remote Snap functions. The two controllers give eight 32 Gb Fibre Channel host ports, and 32Gb SFP+ short wave transceivers (S3Y23A, sold as a 4-pack) are required as the array ships without SFPs.
Power comes from two redundant 580W AC supplies with two 1.5 m PDU cords (IEC C14), and one rack-mount kit is supplied. Any HDD or SSD option except self-encrypting drives can be added, and up to nine drive enclosures connect by 12 Gb SAS.
System cache totals 48 GB. Pair it with HPE ProLiant DL and ML servers, or with other HPE servers once the operating system and HBA are confirmed in HPE SPOCK. Matching arrays are listed in HPE storage system products.
