The Dell BOSS-S2 (Boot Optimized Storage Subsystem) is a purpose-built storage solution designed to offload operating system boot duties from high-value data drives. By supporting two M.2 SATA SSDs in a RAID 1 or non-RAID configuration, the BOSS-S2 ensures high availability and redundancy for mission-critical environments. Its integration via a PCIe Gen3 x8 interface provides fast, reliable access to boot volumes without sacrificing front-facing drive bays, helping to optimize server storage real estate.
Engineered for Dell's 14th and 15th generation PowerEdge servers, the BOSS-S2 module features a modular design that supports hot-swap capabilities and simplified maintenance. Combined with its secure, isolated boot infrastructure, it is ideal for virtualization, hyperconverged infrastructure (HCI), and cloud workloads that require clean separation between OS and data storage. The BOSS-S2 enhances operational efficiency while maximizing server performance and serviceability.
