HPE MSA 1050 10GbE iSCSI Dual Controller SFF Storage

The HPE Q2R25A is a 10GbE iSCSI storage array built for organizations that need dependable performance without unnecessary complexity. Sitting in a 2U rack space, it accepts up to twenty-four small form factor drives, allowing capacity to scale to 76.8 TB as requirements grow. Dual controllers maintain availability, and four integrated 10GbE RJ-45 ports move data at up to 10 Gbps, so demanding workloads such as virtual machines, databases, and large file shares stay responsive.

The array integrates smoothly with Microsoft Windows Server, VMware ESX, and popular Linux distributions including Red Hat and SUSE. Administrators can choose RAID 1, 5, 6, or 10 to balance performance and protection, while the 1+1 power design keeps the system running during a power supply swap.

This flexibility makes the MSA 1050 a smart choice for branch offices that need reliable local storage, growing businesses that want a straightforward backup target, or any data center looking for cost-effective expansion. Routine tasks such as provisioning new volumes or extending existing ones can be handled quickly through familiar HPE management tools, freeing IT staff to focus on strategic projects.
