The HP Automated Storage Manager Software is included with the X1800sb, and can be used when the
X1800sb is paired with an SB40c Storage Blade. This easy-to-use, integrated storage management tool
works from an application point-of-view and can help you orchestrate the many aspects of your storage
environment---even if you lack storage expertise. It's like having your own storage expert in the box.
File Share creation wizard for CIFS or NFS shares with storage allocation, directory quota
management, and scheduled snapshots.
Quota monitoring and alerting per share or application.
Remote management via Microsoft Internet Explorer or Terminal Services.
Best practice and advanced dialog improvements to ASM wizards grant more control to those with
more storage management experience.
Support for setup and management of both internal storage as well as supported direct attached
MSA storage enclosures.
Supports management of tiered storage environments where both SAS and SATA hard drives are
attached to the All-in-One Storage System either internally or in externally-attached HP MSA
enclosures.
You can use ASM to specify a dedicated, primary network--plus a secondary subnet--for your IP-
based storage traffic.
Disaster recovery tools work in concert with backup applications to preserve storage subsystem
settings in case they need restored after a system rebuild.
Provides end-to-end management and provisioning of iSCSI storage for non-clustered 32-bit and
64-bit Windows Server 2003 or Windows Server 2008 hosts (including derivatives like Windows
