Hitachi Advanced Server DS220 G2

Flexible High-Capacity Storage

DS220 G2 comes in three storage configurations to allow for end user flexibility. The first configuration supports 24 2.5-inch non-volatile memory express (NVMe) drives, the second supports 24 2.5-inch serial-attached SCSI (SAS), serial-ATA (SATA), and up to 8 NVMe drives, and the third supports 12 3.5-inch SAS or SATA, and up to 8 NVMe drives. All of the configurations support hot-pluggable, frontside-accessible drives as well as 2 optional 2.5-inch rear mounted drives. Together the DS220 G2 delivers high I/O performance and high capacity for demanding applications and solutions.

I/O Expansion

Full-height, low-profile and mezzanine PCIe 4.0 expansion slots are available, as well as an OCP NIC 3.0 slot, including support for dual width and single width GPUs. In total the server supports up to 10 PCIe Gen4 expansion slots. This allows the DS220 G2 to be flexibly configured to optimize throughput, capacity and I/O performance for a wide range of enterprise applications.

Enterprise-Class Features

DS220 G2 provides the reliability, availability and serviceability (RAS) features demanded by business-critical enterprise applications. The server’s modular design simplifies cable routing and reduces service time. Redundant, hot-swap drives and power supplies provide a resilient architecture for important applications, and dual-rotor hotswap fans help ensure continuous operation.

Embedded Server Management

An integrated baseboard management controller allows DS220 G2 to be managed remotely and independently. A dedicated interface facilitates secure remote access through a LAN connection and provides a powerful, easy-to-use web console interface for remote initialization, management and configuration.
