The HP ProLiant DL320s Storage Server is a high-density Windows-powered file and print solution that enables customers with small and medium 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 high 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 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 deploying and managing file and print services.
