Huawei OceanStor 5500V3-96G-AC-2 FC Storage Array

Brand:

The Huawei OceanStor 5500 V3 5500V3-96G-AC-2 is a 2U enterprise storage configuration with dual controllers, 96GB memory, AC power, eight 8Gb Fibre Channel ports, and 25 × 2.5-inch drive bays. Built on the SPE33C0225 platform, this configuration targets Fibre Channel SAN deployments that need dual-controller architecture and high-density 2.5-inch storage expansion in a compact rack footprint.

OVERVIEW

  • The 5500V3-96G-AC-2 is a Huawei OceanStor 5500 V3 2U storage configuration with dual controllers, 96GB, AC power, 8 × 8Gb FC and 25 × 2.5-inch bays. Compatibility: for supported OceanStor 5500 V3/SPE33C0225 deployments. Model comparison: AC-2 uses 25 × 2.5-inch bays, while AC-3 uses 12 × 3.5-inch bays; the 96GB DC-2 version changes only the power configuration. 

USE CASES

  • Fibre Channel SAN infrastructure — Eight 8Gb FC ports provide dedicated Fibre Channel connectivity for enterprise storage networks where the existing SAN fabric is based on 8Gb FC technology.
  • Virtualized enterprise environments — Dual controllers provide a storage architecture suited to shared-storage deployments supporting virtualized application infrastructure.
  • Database storage platforms — The 96GB configuration provides a substantial controller-memory profile for enterprise storage workloads where predictable shared-storage access is important.
  • Mission-critical application storage — Dual-controller architecture gives organizations a controller-redundant platform for applications where storage availability is a key infrastructure requirement.
  • High-density 2.5-inch storage deployments — Twenty-five 2.5-inch drive positions provide a compact chassis configuration for organizations seeking greater drive density within limited rack space. 
  • AC-powered data centers — The AC designation makes this specific SKU appropriate for facilities using conventional AC rack power infrastructure.
  • Legacy 8Gb FC SAN modernization — Provides an identified 8Gb FC configuration for organizations maintaining or extending compatible Fibre Channel environments.
  • Enterprise backup and secondary storage — Can be deployed as part of centralized storage infrastructure for backup, archive, and secondary application workloads when appropriately configured.
  • Storage infrastructure standardization — The fixed 96GB, dual-controller, 8 × 8Gb FC and 25 × 2.5-inch configuration makes the SKU useful for standardized procurement and repeat deployments.

KEY FEATURES

  • Dual-controller architecture — Provides two controllers, giving buyers a redundant storage-controller configuration suitable for enterprise SAN environments.
  • 96GB memory configuration — Provides the specified 96GB system memory, positioning this SKU above the 48GB OceanStor 5500 V3 configurations in the same configuration family. 
  • 8 × 8Gb Fibre Channel ports — Delivers eight 8Gb FC interfaces for SAN connectivity, making the model easy to match against an existing Fibre Channel fabric. 
  • 25 × 2.5-inch drive bays — Provides 25 compact drive positions in the 2U chassis, supporting high drive density where rack space is constrained. 
  • 2U rack architecture — Occupies two rack units, helping organizations integrate the storage system into standard data-center rack layouts.
  • AC power configuration — Identifies the exact power variant and helps prevent procurement errors between the AC and DC versions of the 5500 V3 configuration.
  • SPE33C0225 platform — Provides a specific platform identifier for configuration validation, lifecycle planning, and replacement sourcing. 
  • Enterprise SAN positioning — Combines dual controllers, Fibre Channel connectivity, 96GB memory and 2.5-inch drive density in one defined storage configuration for enterprise infrastructure.

Why Choose This Product?

  • Exact 96GB configuration — Provides a clearly defined memory tier for buyers who require the 96GB OceanStor 5500 V3 configuration rather than the lower 48GB version.
  • Dual-controller architecture — Provides controller redundancy for enterprise storage deployments where infrastructure continuity is a major purchasing consideration.
  • Purpose-built 8Gb FC connectivity — Eight 8Gb FC ports make this SKU a precise match for compatible Fibre Channel SAN designs without paying for a different interface configuration.
  • High-density 2.5-inch chassis — Twenty-five 2.5-inch bays provide a compact storage footprint, helping optimize rack-space utilization. 
  • AC deployment alignment — The AC configuration is appropriate for data centers using conventional AC power, while also making the model easy to distinguish from the equivalent DC variant.
  • Clear model differentiation — The AC-2 designation identifies the 25 × 2.5-inch version; AC-3 uses 12 × 3.5-inch bays, making chassis selection easier during procurement. 
  • Defined platform identification — SPE33C0225 gives infrastructure teams a precise platform reference for compatibility checks and replacement planning.
  • Procurement-friendly configuration — The combination of exact SKU, memory, controller count, FC port count, drive-bay format and power type reduces ambiguity during BOM creation and enterprise sourcing.
