HP StorageWorks X1000 Network Storage Systems
HP StorageWorks X1000 Network Storage Systems
are the fast and easy way to add Windows-powered
shared storage to your small or medium IT environment.
They’re versatile unified storage, so you get more for
your money since it can be a file server, an iSCSI target
for application/virtual environment storage, or both.
You’ll spend less time and effort on maintenance and
management once you consolidate to a centralized
shared storage system, and industry-standards will
protect your investment by providing compatibility with
your network and applications. The operating system is
pre-installed and comes with HP StorageWorks X1000
Automated Storage Manager, so you’ll be up and
running in minutes.
HP StorageWorks X3000 Network Storage Systems
HP StorageWorks X3000 Network Storage Systems
boost the value of your array or SAN by adding
Windows-powered IP-based gateway services to it.
You’ll spend less time and effort on maintenance and
deliver a better return-on-investment for your array/SAN
when you consolidate to a single, unified storage pool
that can serve files to your clients and blocks to your
servers via multiple protocols (FC/iSCSI or SAS/iSCSI).
Industry-standards protect your investment by providing
compatibility with your network and applications, and
a Microsoft Cluster Server (MSCS) license is included to
provide high availability and reduce downtime.
HP StorageWorks X5000 Storage Systems
HP StorageWorks X5000 Storage Systems add
scalable file services and a file server gateway for
mid-range and enterprise customer’s SAN and iSCSI
storage systems. Based on a truly symmetrical cluster
file system, HP X5000 Storage Systems add scale-out
CIFS/NFS/HTTP file services to any new or existing
SAN or iSCSI storage. Now file serving performance
or storage capacity can be added independently
online without service disruption.
HP X5000 Storage Systems provide unified storage
management. It can create an integrated block and
file-level storage solution out of any SAN, consolidating
individual pools of storage into a single, shared
resource of storage that simplifies storage allocation,
yields high utilization, and reduces IT costs as
compared to traditionally architected storage solutions.
