Modern applications and virtualisation platforms require storage systems capable of delivering faster performance while allowing infrastructure to scale as datasets expand.
The HPE MSA 2060 Storage Array delivers shared storage using dual active-active controllers with support for 16Gb Fibre Channel, 10/25GbE iSCSI, and 12Gb SAS connectivity. The base array supports 24 SFF or 12 LFF drives and delivers up to 395,000 IOPS. Modern flash support, controller efficiency, and scalable drive options allow the platform to serve mixed business workloads while balancing performance, capacity, and investment discipline.
The platform supports expansion up to 240 small form factor drives through additional disk enclosures while maintaining a single management interface. That flexibility helps teams place the right data on the right media, simplify storage planning, and avoid moving to a more complex platform before it is genuinely required. Organisations that require the latest MSA array generation may also consider the HPE MSA 2070 Storage Array, for supporting current shared-storage refresh programmes with a more recent platform.
Improved performance and expansion flexibility allow organisations to increase storage capacity and application throughput without replacing existing infrastructure.
Our specialists can help design and deploy HPE MSA 2060 Storage Array solutions aligned with scalable hybrid storage environments.
The HPE MSA 2060 Storage Array provides high-performance shared storage for small and medium enterprises, combining flexible connectivity, hybrid storage media, and enterprise data services.

The HPE MSA 2060 Storage Array is designed for organisations that need scalable entry shared storage for virtualisation, business applications, and mixed workload environments. It is best suited to small and medium-sized businesses, remote office platforms, and general server estates that need affordable shared storage with room to grow.
The MSA 2060 is widely used as shared storage for VMware and similar hypervisor deployments. It fits these environments where clustered hosts, virtual machines, and core infrastructure services need centralised block storage that can scale over time.
Line-of-business systems, operational databases, and general application servers often need affordable shared storage with predictable day-to-day behaviour. The MSA 2060 is a strong fit where mixed application workloads need more flexibility than direct-attached storage can offer.
Many organisations deploy the MSA 2060 behind private server estates that combine application hosts, virtual machines, and recovery services. It suits these deployments where shared capacity, snapshots, and replication all need to sit on one entry array.
Some sites need shared storage without a dedicated storage specialist. The MSA 2060 works well in these environments where simple management and modular growth matter as much as raw capacity.
Snapshot-based recovery and remote replication are often important in smaller shared storage designs. The MSA 2060 is well matched to environments where day-to-day application storage and affordable recovery planning need to be combined.
Our team can help design and deploy HPE MSA 2060 storage for virtualisation, business applications, and scalable Gen6 shared storage environments.
