Built on industry-standard HPE ProLiant Gen10 server architecture, this appliance is optimized for reliable, efficient, and secure file storage and sharing.

This hardware combination ensures efficient data access and integrity for demanding user groups and applications. Designed for straightforward deployment and administration, the R7G21A model comes with Microsoft Windows Server IoT 2019 for Storage Standard Edition pre-installed on mirrored solid-state drives. Management is simplified through the included HPE StoreEasy Management Console, which consolidates essential tasks like volume provisioning, share creation, and capacity monitoring into a single, intuitive interface.
