2072-3H4 is the IBM FlashSystem 5030 SFF Control Enclosure, a 2U, 19-inch rack-mount unit with two node canisters. Each canister has a six-core processor. Cache is 32 GB (16 GB per canister) with an optional 64 GB (32 GB per canister), and deduplication and compression need the 64 GB cache feature.
Host connectivity is 10 Gb iSCSI over copper as standard, with options for 16 Gb Fibre Channel, 12 Gb SAS, 10 Gb iSCSI over optical or 25 Gb iSCSI over optical. A 12 Gb SAS port attaches expansion enclosures. The SFF model has 24 slots for 2.5-inch SAS drives, and power supplies run on 100 - 240 V AC or -48 V DC.
A control enclosure can manage up to 504 drives, and a two-way clustered configuration up to 1008. The FlashSystem 5030 adds Data Reduction Pools with deduplication, compression and thin provisioning, hardware encryption of data at rest through a key-based licence, HyperSwap, DRAID 5 and DRAID 6 with traditional RAID 0, 1 and 10, and Easy Tier under a key-based licence. External virtualization is for data migration only.
The family also has expansion enclosures 2072-12G, 2072-24G and 2072-92G, and a control enclosure in LFF form with twelve 3.5-inch slots under 2072-3H2.
