This is because a file and print workload requires a server that can store and share large amounts of data with multiple users and devices. Therefore, the server should have enough storage capacity to meet the current and future data needs of the customer. The form factor of the server also matters because it determines how much space the server occupies and how easy it is to install and maintain. Depending on the customer’s preferences and constraints, they may choose a tower, rack or blade server.

p: Class of Raid Controller

4: Number of SAS lanes

16: Smart Array Series

ie: Port Type

m: Controller Type (form factor)

HPE Smart Array P416ie-m SR Gen10 Controller is a flexible Smart Array controller that provides enterprise-class storage performance, increased internal scalability with SAS Expander Card, and data protection for HPE Synergy Compute Modules. The controller has these features:

• p: The P stands for Performance class, which indicates that the controller has high performance and reliability for demanding workloads.
• 4: The 4 indicates that the controller has four SAS lanes per port, which means that it can support up to four SAS devices per port.
• 16: The 16 indicates that the controller belongs to the 16th generation of Smart Array controllers, which offer enhanced security, performance, and manageability.
• ie: The ie stands for internal/external, which means that the controller has both internal and external ports. The internal ports connect to the drives inside the compute module, while the external ports connect to the SAS Expander Card or external storage devices.
• m: The m stands for mezzanine, which means that the controller is a mezzanine card that plugs into a dedicated slot on the compute module.

setting that must be enabled to allow a 3TB boot partition on their HPE ProLiant DL360 Gen10 Plus server is B. Unified Extensible Firmware Interface (UEFI) Boot Mode. This is because UEFI Boot Mode supports booting from disks larger than 2.2 TB by using the GUID Partition Table (GPT) format. GPT allows for partitions of up to 9.4 ZB (9.4 x 10^21 bytes) in size.12

According to HPE, SMU is a web-based interface that enables you to configure, monitor, and manage storage devices. It also provides performance monitoring and reporting for HPE MSA storage arrays1. With SMU, you can demonstrate the features and monitoring capabilities of the new MSA storage array to your customer.

This is because the HPE ProLiant DL560 Gen10 server is a 2U rack server that supports up to four Intel Xeon Scalable processors with up to 48 cores per processor. It also supports up to 6 TB of memory and up to 12 LFF or 24 SFF drives.1 It can satisfy the customer requirements of having two processors and scaling to four inside a 2U chassis.

According to HPE, SmartSSD Wear Gauge is a feature that provides an estimate of the remaining useful life of an SSD drive based on its usage patterns1. It can help you monitor the health and performance of your SSD drives and plan for replacement or upgrade when needed1.
