HPE R0Q73B MSA 2060 16Gb FC Storage
Overview
The HPE R0Q73B MSA 2060 is a dual-controller Fibre Channel SAN storage array built for small and mid-sized enterprises requiring centralized shared storage for virtualization, database, and application workloads. It provides higher host connectivity bandwidth and improved scalability compared to earlier MSA generations while maintaining simplified deployment and administration.
The platform uses dual active-active storage controllers with 16Gb Fibre Channel connectivity and supports hybrid or flash storage configurations using SAS HDDs and SSDs. Automated tiering, snapshot services, and remote replication capabilities support mixed enterprise workloads requiring balanced performance and data protection.
Its 2U large form factor chassis is suited for branch offices, departmental infrastructure, remote enterprise sites, and mid-sized data centers where rack density and storage scalability are operational requirements. The architecture supports expansion enclosures for future capacity growth without replacing the existing storage platform.
The system integrates with HPE ProLiant server environments and supports common enterprise operating systems and hypervisors including VMware vSphere, Microsoft Windows Server, and Linux-based deployments.
Typical Deployment Scenarios
- VMware and Hyper-V virtualization storage
- Fibre Channel SAN infrastructure deployments
- Departmental database storage environments
- Backup and disaster recovery repositories
- Hybrid flash storage deployments
- Mid-sized enterprise application hosting
