Simple and Secure OS Mirroring Through Dedicated Hardware RAID 1

HPE Boot Device Options is a complete, turnkey optimized that is easy to deploy—no need to configure or format, simply insert and it works, no GUI or user setup required.
Pre-configured RAID 1 boot device utilizes a single HPE Synergy designed card that connects to PCIe connection under drive cages to safely isolate OS from user data in today’s popular virtualized environments.
It uses native in-box drive support for VMware, Linux, and Windows OS.
It enables all drive bays to be used for data, greatly reducing server complexity, while providing an economical way for booting in virtualized environments.

State-of-the-Art, Hardware Accelerated RAID 1 NVMe Boot Device

HPE enterprise-class NVMe M.2 SSDs deliver enhanced data protection with power loss protection and error correction.

Increased Storage Density and Dedicated Hardware RAID 1 Resiliency for Boot Device

HPE Boot Device Options provide separate, redundant disk solutions for the OS that enables a more robust, optimized compute platform.
Dedicated hardware RAID 1 boot device mirroring helps eliminate downtime due to a failed OS drive—even if one drive fails the business continues running.
HPE Boot Devices are certified for VMware and Microsoft Azure Stack HCI for increased flexibility.

Full Hardware RAID 1 Boot Solution for VMware Environments

It is engineered with enterprise-class high-endurance NAND for non-stop data center environments.
It has integrated on-board RAID 1 for customers requiring dual boot solutions.

Do you need to simplify data segregation? HPE Boot Device Options offer enterprise customers turnkey, resilient boot solutions that easily segregate the OS from the data storage plane in today’s popular OS for virtualized environments—VMware, Linux, Windows. NS204i presents itself to your management interface as a single directly connected NVMe drive, not a RAID controller. As the NS204i is a hardware boot device, only RAID 1 mode is supported and it will not operate in any other RAID mode. NS204i is plug-and-play with no need to configure or manage the device. Always ensure you are running the latest HPE iLO version and update server BIOS, FW and drivers when they become available.

What is new supporting point:
Dedicated hardware RAID 1 OS boot device
Includes two HPE enterprise-class 960 GB NVMe M.2 SSDs
Utilizes native in-box OS NVMe drivers
Hot-plug universal installation (No longer requires a PCIe slot)

Do your SMB and enterprise-level applications require a flexible controller with increased performance reliability, security, and efficiency to address your evolving data storage needs? The HPE SR Gen10 Plus Controllers support 12 Gb/s SAS and PCIe 4.0 for increased performance while supporting advanced RAID levels with up to 8 GB flash-backed write cache (FBWC). These tri-mode (SAS/SATA/NVMe) controllers operate in Mixed Mode which combines RAID and HBA operations simultaneously, giving you improved deployment flexibility. The HPE SR Gen10 Plus Controllers portfolio provides the ability to support internally attached drives, allowing integration with existing hardware. These controllers also feature HPE SmartRAID SR Secure Encryption for data-at-rest using Controller-Based Encryption(CBE) for SAS, SATA and NVMe devices which improves reliability.

What is new supporting point:
Integrated Switchtec™ PCIe switch enabling increased performance and reduced latency access to NVMe storage devices for HBA and RAID modes.
Supports Hardware Root of Trust.
IImpressive RAID 5 Write Performance: Up to 12 GB/s throughput and up to 850K IOPs with the SR932i-p.
High-speed 144b DDR4 8 GB cache with integrated cache protection to accelerate RAID and cache performance in the SR932i-p.
The MegaRAID 9500 series is the industry’s first PCIe Gen 4.0 RAID adapter family, offering PCIe Gen 4.0 host and storage interfaces. The MegaRAID 9540-8i adapter, based on the SAS3808 PCIe 4.0 x8 IO Controller (IOC) device, delivers twice the performance of previous generations.

Small and medium businesses (SMBs) deploying entry-level server platforms and workstations need affordable, reliable storage solutions. The MegaRAID 9540-8i Tri-Mode Storage Adapter is a PCIe Gen 4.0 12Gb/s SAS/SATA/PCIe (NVMe) controller card that addresses these needs by delivering proven performance and RAID data protection for a range of critical applications.

The adapters Tri-Mode SerDes technology negotiates between speeds and protocols to seamlessly to enablethe operation of NVMe, SAS or SATA devices in a single drive bay getting the most performance and flexibility out of any drive protocol.
The MegaRAID boot adapter provides a reliable boot solution based on the Broadcom® second- eneration PCIe Gen 4.0 Tri-Mode SAS3808 I/O controller. The 9540-2M2 adapter supports two M.2 NVMe or SATA drives, enabling users to separate their OS drives from their primary data drives. By taking dvantage of the unified Broadcom tool suite, users familiar with the Broadcom standard RAID and HBA controllers can easily integrate the 9540-2M2 adapter into their existing management application suite.
