Huawei OceanStor 5500 V3 55V3-48G-DC2-16 FC Storage

Brand:

The Huawei OceanStor 5500 V3 55V3-48G-DC2-16 is a 2U enterprise storage configuration featuring dual controllers, 48GB memory, SmartIO, eight 16Gb Fibre Channel ports, DC power, and 25 × 2.5-inch drive slots. Built around the SPE33C0225 controller platform, this configuration is positioned for Fibre Channel SAN environments requiring compact rack density, controller redundancy, and scalable storage infrastructure.

OVERVIEW

  • The 55V3-48G-DC2-16 is a Huawei OceanStor 5500 V3 2U storage configuration with dual controllers, 48GB, SmartIO, 8 × 16Gb FC, DC power and 25 × 2.5-inch drive bays. Compatibility: designed around the SPE33C0225 platform for supported OceanStor 5500 V3 deployments. Model comparison: DC2 uses 25 × 2.5-inch bays; DC3 uses 12 × 3.5-inch bays. 

USE CASES

  • Fibre Channel SAN deployments — Eight 16Gb FC ports provide dedicated FC connectivity for enterprise storage networks, making the configuration suitable for SAN environments where predictable storage-network connectivity is important.
  • Virtualized data centers — Dual-controller architecture provides a suitable storage foundation for virtualization environments requiring centralized shared storage and controller redundancy.
  • Database storage infrastructure — The 48GB configuration and FC connectivity make this platform suitable for enterprise database environments where consistent access to shared storage is required.
  • Mission-critical application storage — Dual controllers help organizations build storage infrastructure with controller-level redundancy for applications where storage availability is a priority.
  • High-density 2.5-inch storage deployments — Twenty-five 2.5-inch drive slots provide a compact storage chassis option for organizations prioritizing rack-space efficiency. 
  • DC-powered data centers — The DC power configuration is appropriate for facilities using direct-current power infrastructure and helps buyers avoid selecting the otherwise similar AC variant.
  • Enterprise backup and secondary storage — The system can form part of centralized storage infrastructure for backup repositories and secondary workloads when configured with appropriate drives and software.
  • Fibre Channel consolidation — Eight 16Gb FC interfaces provide multiple host connectivity paths for consolidating storage access across supported FC environments.
  • Existing OceanStor infrastructure refreshes — The defined 55V3 configuration can be considered where organizations need to maintain or extend compatible OceanStor 5500 V3 infrastructure.

KEY FEATURES

  • Dual-controller architecture — Provides two storage controllers, giving enterprise buyers a redundant controller configuration rather than relying on a single controller.
  • 48GB memory configuration — Provides the specified controller memory capacity for the storage system and positions this SKU above lower-memory configurations in the OceanStor 5500 V3 family.
  • 8 × 16Gb Fibre Channel ports — Delivers eight 16Gb FC interfaces for high-speed SAN connectivity and simplifies procurement where a defined FC port count is required. 
  • SmartIO architecture — Provides the SmartIO-based I/O configuration specified for this model, allowing buyers to align the storage system with supported SmartIO connectivity requirements. 
  • 25 × 2.5-inch drive bays — Provides high-density 2.5-inch drive accommodation in a 2U chassis, helping maximize storage hardware density within limited rack space. 
  • DC power configuration — Identifies this model for direct-current data center installations and clearly differentiates it from the AC-powered 55V3 configurations.
  • 2U rack form factor — Uses a compact 2U enclosure, helping organizations deploy storage capacity and controller hardware efficiently in standard rack environments.
  • SPE33C0225 platform — Provides a precise controller-platform identifier for procurement, configuration matching, and replacement planning.

Why Choose This Product?

  • Purpose-built 16Gb FC configuration — Eight 16Gb FC ports provide a clearly defined connectivity profile for buyers standardizing on Fibre Channel SAN infrastructure.
  • Dual-controller design — Two controllers provide controller redundancy, making the configuration better suited to enterprise environments where storage availability is a procurement priority.
  • High 2.5-inch drive density — Twenty-five 2.5-inch bays in a 2U chassis provide a space-efficient platform for organizations balancing capacity requirements against rack utilization. 
  • DC infrastructure alignment — The DC power variant is specifically suited to data centers built around direct-current power distribution.
  • Balanced 48GB configuration — The 48GB configuration provides a defined mid-tier resource profile within the 5500 V3 family, useful when buyers need more than entry configurations without automatically moving to higher-memory models.
  • SmartIO integration — The SmartIO configuration provides a flexible I/O architecture within the specified platform and helps match the system to supported connectivity requirements.
  • Simpler procurement validation — The combination of exact SKU, dual controllers, 48GB, 8 × 16Gb FC, 25 × 2.5-inch bays and DC power makes configuration verification straightforward.
  • Better chassis selection accuracy — Buyers can specifically choose the DC2 25 × 2.5-inch variant instead of accidentally sourcing the physically different DC3 12 × 3.5-inch configuration.
