Delivers Windows-powered unified network storage that is easy to install, easy to manage, and easy to expand to your small, medium, or workgroup IT environment.
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.
Do More with Fewer Resources
Be up and sharing storage in minutes, not hours
•
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)
•
Create, migrate, manage, and protect file shares (NAS) and application storage (iSCSI Target) without the need for storage expertise. Automated ‘best practice’ logic setup storage without your needing to know industry-established best practices. HP ASM is like having a storage expert in the box.
Spend less time and effort managing files
•
A consolidated and unified shared storage system means you have one thing to manage, expand, and protect.
Get more space using file deduplication
•
Single Instance Storage (SIS) recovers up to 35% of disk capacity by reducing the number of redundant files.
Familiar management look and feel
•
If you've used Microsoft Management Console (MMC) to manage a Windows server, you're probably already familiar with how to manage HP X1000 Network Storage Systems.
Protect and Optimize Your Investment
HP ProLiant platforms
•
Relax — your investment is protected because you're not locked into proprietary hardware. And you can take advantage of built-in functionality like Integrated Lights-Out2 that lets you manage and troubleshoot remotely. X1000 models integrate with HP SIM and support ProLiant Support Pack.
Industry-standard components and interconnects
•
HP X1000 Network Storage Systems feature Quad-Core Intel® Xeon® processors, support for SATA or SAS internal hot plug hard drives, and easy external SAS expansion with HP StorageWorks MSA enclosures. There's also an X1000 BladeSystem storage solution (X1800sb).
Seamless integration into your environment
•
They're running Windows, so they integrate natively (not by emulation) into your Active Directory and DFS environments, and run your favorite antivirus, backup, and storage management applications.
Optional data services that integrate with HP ASM
•
Backup to disk, tape, or other removable media with Data Protector Express Software, and replicate data on a scheduled basis to another system using HP Storage Mirroring Software.
