HPE B7E16A – StoreVirtual 4130 2.4TB iSCSI SAS Storage Array
Overview
The HPE B7E16A is a 1U rackmount scale-out SAN appliance running the LeftHand operating system, engineered to provide high-availability block storage for virtualized infrastructures and SMB deployments. This appliance architecture combines physical processing power, network interfaces, and integrated storage drives into a modular node that can be clustered with additional units to scale capacity and performance simultaneously. Equipped with a dedicated Intel Xeon E5-2620 processor, 8GB of internal memory, and a 2GB flash-backed write cache, the system efficiently manages persistent block I/O operations over IP networks. The device deploys natively into distributed corporate departments, remote offices, and regional data centers to resolve remote data access limitations through standardized iSCSI protocols. Complete management is handled at the cluster layer via LeftHand SAN/iQ software, offering enterprise-tier storage virtualization features out of the box without incremental per-feature license costs.
Typical Deployment Scenarios
-
Remote Office and Branch Office (ROBO) networks requiring standalone, resilient IP SAN storage nodes that connect back to a core data center.
-
Small-to-medium enterprise data centers running clustered virtual environments on VMware ESXi or Microsoft Hyper-V platforms requiring shared storage.
-
High-availability disaster recovery configurations using multi-site network RAID layouts to replicate data synchronously over distributed edge locations.
