Overview
Unbelievably simple. Uniquely affordable. Unquestionably reliable.
About HP All-in-One (AiO) Storage: Imagine having a single integrated solution that could provide shared storage for application
servers (iSCSI Target), enhanced file serving for end-user clients (NAS), backup target services for network data, and data
protection software to keep all of your data safe and secure; these are the key functions of HP All-in-One Storage and together,
they allow businesses to lower costs, increase efficiencies, and respond to rapid data growth. HP StorageWorks All-in-One Storage
Systems are radically simple, integrated, and affordable network storage solutions that enable small and mid-size companies to
easily manage, grow, and protect their data without requiring them to become storage experts. These systems are designed to be
deployed and managed by IT generalists with no storage expertise and deliver everything you need to lower the cost and
complexity of rapidly growing data storage environments.
The easy-to-use, All-in-One Storage Manager (ASM) interface reduces the time, expense, and expertise required to keep up with
rapidly growing applications like Microsoft Exchange. Busy IT Managers do not have time to learn complex storage technologies;
ASM eliminates this barrier by handling all underlying storage tasks and presenting network storage in application-centric terms,
giving administrators newfound levels of control. Data migration tools for Exchange 2003/2007 and SQL Server 2000/2005
include 'best practice' recommendations which allow any IT generalist to look like a storage expert. Tools for hosting 'user defined'
applications enable flexible deployment in many different environments.
ASM provides easy setup of shared folders, backup target areas, and iSCSI Target storage for hosts running Windows Server,
Linux, VMWare ESX, or any other standards-compliant iSCSI initiator. Administrators can quickly and easily setup or expand data
areas, migrate data from capacity constrained servers, manage disk based backup storage areas, implement disk and tape backup
policies, and more.
Now you can have a simple, affordable, and reliable network storage solution that provides many of the management,
consolidation, and data protection features typically reserved for higher-priced and more complex storage products.
About the AiO600: This tower/rack solution provides shared storage expansion for application servers (iSCSI SAN), enhanced
file serving for end-user clients (NAS), and comprehensive data protection features. The AiO600 is an excellent solution for
customers looking for increased capacity, scalability, and hardware redundancy. The AiO600 is available in both SATA and Serial
Attached SCSI (SAS) configurations.
NOTE: Updates to the HP All-in-One Storage Manager (ASM) are posted to support links available at
http://www.hp.com/go/AiOStorage. Some of the management features discussed in this document may require the installation
of software updates depending on the version of ASM installed on your system. Be sure to check for updates to make sure you are
using the latest version of the software. Critical updates for the Windows Storage Server 2003 R2 operating system can be
implemented using standard Windows Update functionality but you should disable any auto-restart options to avoid complications
with iSCSI connections. For other software components you should only update components as part of an All-in-One Storage
System update. Do not separately download or install individual updates for Data Protector Express as this may adversely affect the
management integration of these components.
