The D2220sb Storage Blade delivers direct attached storage for c-Class Gen8 blade servers, with support
for up to twelve hot plug small form factor (SFF) SAS or SATA Midline hard disk drives or SAS/SATA SSDs.
The enclosure backplane provides a PCI Express connection to the adjacent c-Class server blade and
enables high performance storage access without any additional cables. The D2220sb Storage Blade
features an onboard Smart Array P420i controller with 2GB flash-backed write cache, for increased
performance and data protection. Up to eight D2220sb storage devices can be supported off a single
BladeSystem c7000 enclosure for up to 115.2 TB of capacity.
Two ways to create shared storage with the D2220sb
Use HP StoreVirtual VSA software to turn the D2220sb into an iSCSI SAN for use by all servers in the
enclosure and any server on the network. HP VSA software is installed in a virtual machine on a VMware
ESX host server adjacent to the D2220sb. HP StoreVirtual VSA turns the D2220sb into a scalable and robust
iSCSI SAN, featuring storage clustering for scalability, Network RAID for storage failover, thin provisioning,
snapshots, remote replication, and cloning. Expand capacity within the same enclosure or to other
BladeSystem enclosures by adding additional D2220sb Storage Blades and HP VSA licenses. A cost
effective bundle of the D2220sb Storage Blade and a HP StoreVirtual VSA license makes purchasing
convenient. If storage needs increase, add HP P4300 or P4500 systems externally and manage everything
via a single pane of glass.
The HP StoreEasy 3830 Gateway Storage Blade is a flexible storage server solution for BladeSystem
environments. Combine the StoreEasy 3830with the D2220sb Storage Blade to enable file serving and
iSCSI shared storage inside the BladeSystem enclosure.
NOTE: The D2220sb requires a c3000 Enclosure configuration with 6 fans

Tape blades are ideal for HP BladeSystem c-Class customers who need a data protection solution but are
not connected into a Storage Area Network (SAN). They provide direct attach data protection for the
adjacent server and network backup protection for all other data within the enclosure. The HP tape blades
are the industry's first bladed tape drives and are developed exclusively for the BladeSystem c-Class
enclosures.
