Because the X1800sb G2 is built on the BL460c G7 Server Blade, 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 HP ProLiant Onboard Administrator with iLO Advanced for BladeSystem). The X1800sb G2
Network Storage Blade can also be managed by HP Systems Insight Manager (HP SIM).
Industry standard HP BladeSystem hardware is backed by a 3/3/3 hardware warranty and 1 year software
support.
The X1800sb G2 is tuned for faster file serving performance (beyond standard Windows servers). Single
Instance Storage (SIS) deduplication can improve capacity utilization by 35% or more by eliminating
duplicate files within shared volumes. Full text search capabilities increase the speed of end-user search.
Make more efficient use of storage space using the file deduplicating 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.
Microsoft Windows Storage Server 2008 R2, Standard x64 Edition
64-bit processing (compatible with 32-bit applications)
Optimized for File Serving: Up to 20% faster file serving performance than a general-purpose
Windows Server 2008 installation on the same hardware.
HP-enhanced File Server Management Console: Features the familiar look and feel of the Microsoft
Management Console (MMC).
HP Rapid Startup: Simplifies and accelerates new device deployment by presenting basic system
settings on your first boot.
Single-instance Storage (SIS): Recovers up to 35% of disk space by deduplicating files and reducing
the amount of redundant data stored. Identifies identical files, stores a single copy of the file in a
central repository, and replaces the files with pointers to the file in the SIS common store.
Search Enhancements: Indexing Service extracts the information from a set of documents and
organizes it in a way that makes it quick and easy to access that information through the Search
function for computers running Windows 2000, Windows XP or Windows Vista.
File Server Resource Manager (FSRM): Provides both on-demand and scheduled reports detailing
storage use, allows administrators to create and manage folder and volume quotas, and permits
both name-based screening of files and allowing/disallowing file creation on specified folder trees.
File Classification Infrastructure: provides insight into your data to help you manage your data more
effectively, reduce costs and mitigate risks by providing a built-in solution for file classification
allowing administrators to automate manual processes with predefined policies based on the data's
business value. Also provided is an extensible infrastructure upon which ISVs can build end-to-end
solutions that enable organizations to perform advanced classification and data management.
Distributed File System (DFS) Management Console: Updated DFS namespace failover, failback and
prioritization controls.
Distributed File System Replication (DFS-R): State-based, multi-master replication engine that
supports replication scheduling and bandwidth throttling. DFS-R uses a new compression algorithm
that efficiently updates files over limited bandwidth networks by replicating only the changes
needed to ensure global file consistency.
Full support of Volume Shadow Copy Service, which creates point-in-time copies of files and folders
at predetermined time intervals that can then be accessed from client computers.
Unlimited Client Access Licenses (CALs) included
