Are you in need of a simple way to protect valuable business data, share files with co-workers and connect remotely? Or maybe you're juggling multiple management interfaces, security concerns, and shrinking backup windows -- all while your users demand more and more space. You have better things to do than worry about storage and need a shared network storage appliance that's powerful and easy to manage, and you need it now. HP designed the X1000 G2 and X5000 G2 Network Storage Systems for a wide range of network attached storage environments, small or large, or something in between.
Small, medium-sized, or workgroup IT environments that need to quickly add or consolidate storage to a single unified storage system.
Midsize Windows-centric IT environments that need highly available, easy to deploy, and simple to manage Network Attached Storage
