You have better things to do than worry about storage. You’re juggling multiple management interfaces, security concerns, and shrinking backup windows—all while your users demand more and more space. You need a shared storage solution that's powerful and easy to manage, and you need it now.
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.
Features
Get More for Your Money
A single, centralized storage system
•
Consolidate islands of direct-attached storage to one easy-to-use Windows shared storage platform. Since it’s versatile unified storage, it can be a file server (or disk-based backup / replication target), an iSCSI target for application/virtual environment storage, or both.
Multi-protocol optimized file serving
•
In a Windows (SMB/CIFS) environment, there’s no better way to serve files. In mixed environments, you get the flexibility of heterogeneous support for additional protocols like NFS, HTTP, FTP, and WebDAV.
Microsoft iSCSI Software Target included
•
Network Attached Storage (NAS) isn’t just about sharing files any more—it’s about sharing information. With the included Microsoft iSCSI Software Target, you can host storage for applications like Microsoft Exchange and SQL, or for Microsoft Hyper-V or VMware deployments.
Storage-specific tools and features included
•
Get Quotas, File Screening, Storage Reporting, Volume Shadow Copy Service (VSS) snapshots, and Distributed File System (DFS) Replication—all at no extra cost.
Print server support
•
Don't forget that X1000 Network Storage Systems host print services too, offering consolidation benefits to your Windows print environment.

•
The operating system is pre-installed and user storage is easy to provision with HP X1000 Automated Storage Manager, so you can add storage to your network quickly and safely.
HP X1000 Automated Storage Manager (HP ASM)
