Redundancy Mode

The HPE Q1J00A Modular Smart Array offers multiple redundancy modes that further enhance availability. In Active/Active mode, both controllers are actively processing data, providing maximum performance and load balancing. This mode is ideal for environments where high performance and availability are critical. In Active/Passive mode, one controller operates in an active state, while the other remains in a standby mode. This mode is suitable for situations where performance is not the primary concern, but failover capability is essential.

Automatic Failover

The dual controller feature of the HPE Q1J00A Modular Smart Array incorporates automatic failover functionality to ensure uninterrupted access to data. In the event of a controller failure, the system detects the issue and automatically switches all operations to the functioning controller without any manual intervention. This seamless failover process minimizes downtime and ensures continuous availability of critical data. With automatic failover, businesses can rely on the HPE Q1J00A Modular Smart Array to maintain operations even in the face of hardware failures.

Scalability

The HPE Q1J00A Modular Smart Array is designed to support future growth and evolving storage needs. The dual controller feature enables seamless scalability, allowing businesses to expand their storage capacity without disrupting operations. Additional drives can be easily added to the system, and the dual controller architecture ensures that the increased workload can be efficiently managed. With this scalability, businesses can confidently invest in the HPE Q1J00A Modular Smart Array, knowing that it can adapt to their changing storage requirements.

Redundant Power Supplies

In addition to the dual controller feature, the HPE Q1J00A Modular Smart Array incorporates redundant power supplies for increased reliability and availability. The redundant power supplies act as a backup in case of a power supply failure, ensuring uninterrupted operation even in challenging environments or during power outages. This redundancy provides peace of mind to businesses, knowing that their critical data is protected and accessible at all times.
