HP Nimble Storage HF40C SAN Storage System, 42 TB, 4U | Enterprise SAN — UF8M8E

Keep critical data services responsive while reducing the complexity of separate primary and secondary storage tiers. HPE Nimble Storage HF40C is built for mixed workloads that need flash acceleration, dependable RAID protection, and the flexibility to support both production and backup/DR use cases from a single rack-mount platform. With 21 installed HDDs delivering 42 TB of capacity and 6 installed SSDs providing 5.76 TB of flash, this 4U array is sized for environments that need practical density without sacrificing access speed. Dual controllers, 64 GB of memory, and 10 Gigabit Ethernet connectivity help maintain consistent service levels across iSCSI-connected workloads. Fibre Channel support adds deployment flexibility for storage teams standardizing on SAN infrastructure. For organizations that value storage efficiency as much as uptime, the HF40C offers a balanced architecture: enough flash to accelerate active data, enough disk to hold larger datasets economically, and enough redundancy to support business continuity planning. It is a strong fit when the storage platform must do more than store data — it must keep backup copies, recovery points, and primary workloads ready when needed. Ideal For Primary storage for mixed application workloads that need flash acceleration Secondary storage for backup repositories and disaster recovery copies SAN deployment in a rack-based enterprise storage environment Capacity-focused storage tier where predictable performance matters Why This Product 1 Combines flash and disk in one platform for mixed workloads 2 Includes dual controllers for higher service continuity than single-controller arrays 3 Offers 10 Gigabit Ethernet plus Fibre Channel support for SAN flexibility 4 Provides backup and DR utility beyond basic capacity storage
