HPE Storage File Controller Q9D43A

Description :

Want to get more out of your array or SAN investment? Do you have unallocated capacity you want to use for file shares or services? With HPE Storage File Controllers enabling efficient and highly available file shares using your HPE 3PAR, HPE Nimble, or MSA array capacity, you can get a greater return on your storage investment by enabling more use cases and supporting thousands of concurrent clients. HPE Storage File Controllers are flexible, cluster-ready gateways for enabling file services in SAN environments, and are ideal for diverse user-generated file and application data where scalability and tight Microsoft ecosystem integration are key. Through independently scalable file gateways with up to 8 nodes per cluster and flexible configuration options, the HPE Storage File Controllers offer enterprise-grade capabilities like transparent failovers, cross-protocol support, and non-disruptive maintenance, you can provide users and applications with a robust solution for file serving.

What's new

Optimized: Tailored for File Services

Utilize a broad range of file access protocols, including Microsoft Hyper-V and SQL Server application storage over SMB.Scale file share capacity with support for up to 64TiB usable per namespace, and leverage data deduplication and compression to optimize capacity efficiency.

Advanced data management automatically improves use of resources, compliance with data retention policies, and protection of sensitive files, and Hosted BranchCache reduces branch office WAN usage by caching frequently-accessed files locally.

Leverage snapshots to enable user-driven file and folder recovery to ease administrative burden and enable end-users to quickly recover from simple errors.

Secure: Protect Your Data Always

HPE Storage File Controllers can protect data while at rest with file system encryption, and while it is being transferred with SMB encryption and signing.

File Classification Infrastructure can dynamically identify files based on sensitivity and implement sophisticated access controls based on your organization's requirements using Active Directory Rights Management Services.

Reduce cost and complexity by installing antivirus scanning software and data protection agents on-board. Native Microsoft Azure support allows you to seamlessly store backups of data to the cloud, using your Azure subscription, for protection against disasters and catastrophic failures.
