Key Features | Simple and Secure OS Mirroring through Dedicated Hardware RAID 1

HPE NS204i-d NVMe OS Boot Device is a complete, turn-key optimized OS boot device 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 OS boot utilizes a single Synergy designed card that connect to PCIe connection under Drive Cages to safely isolate OS from user data on today’s most popular virtualized environments.

Uses native in-box driver support for VMware®, Linux®, and Windows® OS.

Supports secure firmware boot for simple and secure setup of HPE Synergy 480 , Gen10 Plus Compute Modules.

Enables all drive bays be used for data, greatly reducing server complexity, while providing an economical way for booting in virtualized environments.
