Standard Features

Fault Recovery
Minimizes downtime, reconstructs data, and facilitates a quick recovery from drive failure
• Recovery ROM: This feature protects the user from a firmware image corruption by storing a
redundant copy of the firmware image. If the active firmware image becomes corrupt, the
controller will use the redundant firmware image and continue operating
• On-Line Spares: There is no limit to the number of spare drives that can be installed prior to
drive failure. If a failure occurs, recovery begins with an On-Line Spare and data is
reconstructed automatically
• DRAM ECC detects and corrects data bit errors
HPE SSD Smart Path
The HPE SSD Smart Path feature included in the Smart Array software stack improves Solid State Disk
(SSD) read performance
by up to 4x. HPE SSD Smart Path chooses the optimum path to the SSD and
accelerates reads for all RAID levels and RAID 0 writes.
HPE Smart Array SR
Secure Encryption
(optional license)
HPE Smart Array SR Secure Encryption is a Smart Array controller-based data encryption solution that
protects sensitive, mission critical data. This is an enterprise
-class encryption solution for data-at-
rest on
any
drives attached to the HPE Smart Array controllers including data on the controller cache. Secure
Encryption
requires an optional license per server (see Related Options for more information on the
license).
The solution is available for bo
th local and remote key management mode deployments. Local Key
Management Mode is focused on single server deployment where there is one Master key per controller
that is managed by the user. Remote Key Management Mode is for enterprise wide deployments fr
om
just a few servers to thousands of servers.
FIPS 140
-2 Cryptographic Module Validation
FIPS provides a security assurance level validation for cryptographic modules.
HPE Smart Array P204i-
b
SR Gen10 Controller
is a cryptographic module that is currently on the Validation Program FIPS 140-2
Implementation Under Test List
. The Smart Array P204i-b SR Gen10 Controller is expected to
complete FIPS 140
-2 Level 1 Validation in 2018. The National Institute of Standards and Technology
(NIST) issue the FIPS 140
-2 requirements and standards for cryptography modules that include both
hardware and software components.
