Overview


Do you need to simplify data segregation? HPE Boot Device Options offer enterprise customers turnkey, resilient boot solutions that easily segregate the OS from the data storage plane in today’s popular OS for virtualized environments—VMware, Linux, Windows. NS204i presents itself to your management interface as a single directly connected NVMe drive, not a RAID controller. As the NS204i is a hardware boot device, only RAID 1 mode is supported and it will not operate in any other RAID mode. NS204i is plug-and-play with no need to configure or manage the device. Always ensure you are running the latest HPE iLO version and update server BIOS, FW and drivers when they become available.

What is new supporting point:
Includes two HPE enterprise-class 960 GB NVMe M.2 SSDs
Dedicated hardware RAID 1 OS boot device
No cables or backplanes required
Hot-plug universal installation (No longer requires a PCIe slot)
Utilizes native in-box OS NVMe drivers




At-a-glance


  • HPE Boot Device Options is a complete, turnkey optimized that is easy to deploy—no need to configure or format, simply insert and it works, no GUI or user setup required.
    Pre-configured RAID 1 boot device utilizes a single HPE Synergy designed card that connects to PCIe connection under drive cages to safely isolate OS from user data in today’s popular virtualized environments.
    It uses native in-box drive support for VMware, Linux, and Windows OS.
    It enables all drive bays to be used for data, greatly reducing server complexity, while providing an economical way for booting in virtualized environments.

  • HPE Boot Device Options provide separate, redundant disk solutions for the OS that enables a more robust, optimized compute platform.
    Dedicated hardware RAID 1 boot device mirroring helps eliminate downtime due to a failed OS drive—even if one drive fails the business continues running.
    HPE Boot Devices are certified for VMware and Microsoft Azure Stack HCI for increased flexibility.

  • HPE enterprise-class NVMe M.2 SSDs deliver enhanced data protection with power loss protection and error correction.

  • It is engineered with enterprise-class high-endurance NAND for non-stop data center environments.
    It has integrated on-board RAID 1 for customers requiring dual boot solutions.
