Description
The HPE Modular Smart Array 1060 is a cost-effective, flash-ready, 6th-generation storage array engineered for small to medium-sized businesses looking to accelerate applications affordably. Designed with simplicity and scalability in mind, this 2U rackmount storage unit supports 24 SFF SAS drives and delivers up to 154,000 IOPS, making it an ideal solution for general-purpose and performance-hungry workloads alike.
With support for 12Gb SAS host connectivity, built-in high availability through dual controllers, and compatibility with industry-leading HPE ProLiant servers, the HPE MSA 1060 enables efficient hybrid or flash configurations. Its intuitive Storage Management Utility, automated tiering, and snapshot features ensure ease of use and robust data protection — all without the need for a dedicated storage admin.
