Consolidate islands of direct-attached storage to one easy-to-use Windows-powered shared
storage platform. Since it's versatile unified storage, it can be a file server (or disk-based
backup / replication target), an iSCSI target for application/virtual environment storage, or
both.
The Windows-powered operating system is pre-installed and user storage is easy to
provision with HP ASM, so you can add storage to your network quickly and securely.
In a Windows (SMB/CIFS) environment, there's no better way to serve files. Windows
Storage Server 2008 delivers better file serving performance than standard Windows Server,
has exclusive features like Single Instance Storage (SIS) file de-duplication, and supports
Volume Shadow Copy Service snapshots. In mixed environments, you get the flexibility of
heterogeneous support for additional protocols like NFS, HTTP, FTP, and WebDAV.
NAS isn't just about sharing files any more-it's about sharing information. With the included
Microsoft iSCSI Software Target, you can host server storage for applications like Microsoft
Exchange, Microsoft SQL, Microsoft SharePoint, or Oracle, and you can drive additional
consolidation by hosting storage for Microsoft Hyper-V, VMWare, or Xen deployments.
It's running Windows, so it integrates natively into your Active Directory and DFS
environments, runs your favorite antivirus, backup, and storage management applications,
and the Microsoft Management Console (MMC) user interface has a familiar look and feel.
Relax -- your investment is protected because you're not locked into proprietary platforms.
X1000 Network Storage Systems are built on HP ProLiant technology and feature Quad-
Core Intel® Xeon® processors, support for SATA or SAS internal hot-plug hard drives, and
easy external expansion with HP MSA enclosures.
Create, migrate, manage, and protect shared storage without the need for storage expertise
using HP ASM Software, which is included with all X1000 Network Storage Systems. HP
ASM is designed for IT generalists and is like getting a storage expert in the box. It includes
tools to quickly and easily migrate and manage file and iSCSI data using automated best
practice settings, and you can enable optional data protection features within HP ASM by
installing HP Data Protector Express Software, and/or HP Storage Mirroring Software.
Make more efficient use of storage space using the file de-duplicating Single-instance
Storage (SIS) feature and enjoy the benefits of other storage-specific tools like Indexed
Search, Quotas, File Screening, Storage Reporting, and Distributed File System (DFS)
Replication.
You can manage and troubleshoot from outside the office at both the operating system level
(with Remote Desktop or HTTPS) and at the platform level (using Integrated Lights-Out 2
with the included Advanced Pack). X1000 Network Storage Systems also integrate with HP
Systems Insight Manager (HP SIM) and support ProLiant Support Pack.
