HPE MSA 2062 Storage Array Overview

Many organisations want the performance benefits of flash storage without the complexity of designing a fully customised hybrid storage environment.

Hybrid Flash Storage with Included SSD Performance

The HPE MSA 2062 Storage Array provides Gen6 shared storage built on dual active-active controllers with connectivity options including 16Gb Fibre Channel, 10GbE or 25GbE iSCSI, and 12Gb SAS. The system includes 3.84TB of SSD capacity and supports up to 395,000 IOPS for accelerated application workloads. Modern flash support, controller efficiency, and scalable drive options allow the platform to serve mixed business workloads while balancing performance, capacity, and investment discipline.

Automated Tiering for Balanced Storage Performance

Hybrid storage architecture automatically places frequently accessed data on flash while larger datasets remain on high-capacity HDD media, optimising performance without sacrificing storage efficiency. Organisations that require Advanced Data Services as part of the array bundle may also consider the HPE MSA 2072 Storage Array, for simplifying deployment planning where snapshot and replication features are needed from day one.

Accelerating Applications Without Moving to All-Flash Infrastructure

Integrated flash capacity allows organisations to improve response times for virtual machines, databases, and analytics workloads while maintaining a flexible, cost-effective and scalable storage platform.

Our specialists can help assess your infrastructure requirements and design HPE MSA 2062 Storage Array solutions aligned with performance-focused shared storage environments. It also gives IT teams a more practical platform for planned growth without adding unnecessary management overhead.

HPE MSA 2062 Storage Array Deployment Scenarios

 

The HPE MSA 2062 Storage Array is designed for organisations that need an affordable hybrid-flash shared storage array with bundled flash acceleration for smaller production environments. It is best suited to small businesses, remote offices, and cost-sensitive deployments that want better application responsiveness than HDD-only entry storage without moving to a full all-flash platform.

Small and Remote Office Shared Storage

Smaller IT sites often need one array to support virtualisation, business applications, and shared data without overcomplicating the design. The MSA 2062 fits these environments with a preconfigured hybrid-flash starting point for entry shared storage.

Application Acceleration for Budget-Conscious Estates

Some environments need more application responsiveness but still work within a tight storage budget. The MSA 2062 is a strong fit where integrated SSD capacity helps accelerate key workloads without requiring a full flash array design.

Virtualisation with Hybrid Flash

Virtual machine estates can benefit from faster performance for active datasets while still retaining lower-cost capacity tiers. The MSA 2062 works well where hybrid-flash storage supports mixed VM workloads in a smaller shared environment.

Business Applications and Databases

Operational systems, small databases, and general line-of-business applications often need a practical balance of performance and cost. The MSA 2062 suits these deployments where flash-enabled storage improves day-to-day application responsiveness.

Entry Shared Storage with Built-In Value

Some organisations want a more prescriptive starting point rather than building an array from the ground up. The MSA 2062 is well matched to those projects because it packages hybrid-flash capability into an entry shared storage platform.
