804228-B21 Use Case
High-Density Virtualization Storage Expansion in Enterprise Data Centers
In a global financial services environment running 300 VMware ESXi workloads on HPE ProLiant DL560 Gen9 servers, deploying the 804228-B21 HPE ProLiant DL560 Gen9 SAS Expander Card enables connectivity to an additional 48 SAS SSDs per chassis. This real-world configuration boosts usable capacity by 2.5PB, drives 50% higher IOPS for virtual machine provisioning, and maintains sub-millisecond latency. The outcome is streamlined infrastructure management, 35% reduction in rack footprint, and predictable performance for critical trading and risk-analysis applications.
Accelerating On-Premises ERP Transaction Performance for Retail Chains
A large retail chain processing 2,000 PoS transactions per minute on an on-premises SAP ERP platform integrated the 804228-B21 SAS Expander Card into their HPE ProLiant DL560 Gen9 servers. By expanding SAS connectivity to four 12Gb/s RAID arrays, the solution delivers over 250,000 read/write IOPS and cuts database commit times by 40%. The benefit is real-time inventory updates, improved checkout throughput, and an ROI payback in under 9 months.
Scaling High-Performance Computing Storage for Scientific Research
A university HPC cluster running large-scale genomics and CFD simulations upgraded compute nodes with the 804228-B21 HPE ProLiant DL560 Gen9 SAS Expander Card. This allowed each node to attach up to 60 enterprise SAS HDDs and SSDs, achieving parallel throughput of 20 GB/s and reducing job completion times by 30%. Researchers benefit from cost-efficient storage scaling, streamlined job scheduling, and accelerated time-to-insight for critical scientific breakthroughs.
