HP (Hewlett-Packard) ML350 G5 Server User Manual


 
The HP ProLiant ML350 G5 Storage Server is a powerful Windows-powered file and print tower solution that enables small,
medium, and remote office environments to consolidate multiple direct-attached storage (DAS) installations and
management interfaces to a single centralized Network Attached Storage (NAS) device. This solution can also be a way to
add capacity to your network very quickly, or it can be an effective disk-based backup or replication target. It supports
multiple file sharing protocols and Windows storage-specific tools that make file share maintenance both easy and powerful.
And with the optional Microsoft® iSCSI Software Target, you can upgrade to host block-based storage for Exchange, SQL
or other applications.
This network storage solution not only aids in consolidation, storage expansion, and cost reduction, but also helps you
spend less time and effort deploying and managing file and print services. It comes with Microsoft Windows Storage Server
2003 Release 2 Operating System pre-installed, and user storage is pre-configured. It's quick to install and it's Windows
through-and-through--if you know how to use the Microsoft Management Console (MMC), you probably already know how to
manage it. And the unique Rapid Start-up Wizard streamlines installation even more. Finally, remote management capability
at both the system level and at the hardware component level (IPMI v2.0) means you can manage and troubleshoot from
anywhere.
The ML350 G5 Storage Server leverages industry-standard components to protect your investment and integrates
seamlessly into HP ProLiant or StorageWorks environments. It offers four capacity points and has the flexibility to support
either SATA or SAS hard drives; SATA-based models are available with 960Gb, 1.5TB or 3TB of raw capacity and the SAS
model is available with 1.8TB of raw capacity.
What Is a Storage
Server?
We use the ProLiant Storage Server product name to describe our line of enhanced Windows file
and print servers. These Network Attached Storage (NAS) solutions are optimized devices that
work over Ethernet networks and provide support for heterogeneous file serving in a high-capacity
package. Our solutions also provide specific features to simplify the tasks and reduce the resource
burdens associated with data storage and management. NAS technology simplifies file server
configuration and manageability, and improves data access to clients and applications by
supporting different operating systems and protocols.
