The HPE Primera A670 sits at the pinnacle of the Tier-0 storage category, built for environments where downtime isn’t acceptable and performance must remain consistent under extreme pressure. As the flagship model of the series, it’s engineered to handle massive, intensive workloads across consolidated virtual platforms, mission-critical enterprise databases, and high-throughput applications without compromise. Powered by HPE InfoSight, the A670 continuously optimises performance and reliability, using predictive analytics to prevent issues before they arise. Designed exclusively as an all-flash array, it supports both all-NVMe and mixed SAS/NVMe SSD configurations. It scales seamlessly as enterprise demand grows- expanding up to four controller nodes, an immense 4TiB of system cache, and up to 9,900 TiB of effective capacity for rapid, future-proof deployment. Every system includes HPE’s 100% data availability guarantee as standard, reinforcing its role as an ultra-dependable, elite enterprise-grade solution. Opting for a refurbished HPE Primera A670 makes this uncompromising level of massive storage performance far more commercially viable without sacrificing capability.
