You chose to deploy an HP BladeSystem c-Class for your business and now you're looking at the storage options available for the c-Class enclosure. You need a solution that can provide shared storage for your c-Class application servers, enhanced file serving for end-user clients, and data protection software to keep your data safe and secure. These are the key functions of the HP StorageWorks All-in-One SB600c Storage Blade and together, they allow your business to lower costs, increase efficiencies, and respond to rapid data growth. The All-in-One Storage Blade is a radically simple, integrated, and affordable network storage solution that enables businesses to easily manage, grow, and protect their data without requiring them to become storage experts.
Features
•
Shared storage solution for HP BladeSystem c-Class application servers: Managed through a single interface, the AIO SB600c Storage Blade provides shared application storage (iSCSI SAN), file serving (NAS), and data protection below the cost of separate products and installs directly inside a HP BladeSystem c-Class enclosure.
•
Efficient use of storage capacity easily accommodates growing applications: Sharing storage between servers is more efficient and costs less to manage over time when compared against adding additional drives to individual servers. Sharing storage means that you maximize investments in additional capacity while enabling easier growth and shorter backup windows.
•
Best Practice toolkit makes every IT Administrator look like a storage expert: The SB600c includes tools to easily migrate and manage data using best practice settings. For example, iSCSI storage for a Microsoft Exchange Storage Group can be expertly setup and migrated in fewer than 10 mouse clicks, saving you time and reducing the potential for error.
•
Enhanced file serving for clients (NAS) to improve productivity and collaboration: The SB600c is tuned for faster file serving performance (beyond standard Windows servers). Single Instance Storage (SIS) can improve capacity utilization by 30% or more by eliminating duplicate files within shared volumes. Full text search capabilities increase the speed of end-user search.
•
Comprehensive and integrated data protection to ensure easy roll-back and disaster recovery: Provides an easy mechanism to manage disk based snapshots for easy rollback, integrated data protection software for offsite and archive, hot-plug disk drives (RAID), and hardware redundancy. Data can also be replicated to another system for enhanced disaster recovery.
