Imagine a single solution that could provide shared storage for application servers via iSCSI, optimized NAS file serving, and data protection for your information; these are the key functions of HP StorageWorks All-in-One Storage Systems and allow businesses to lower costs, increase efficiencies, and respond to rapid data growth. These radically simple, integrated, and affordable solutions enable you to easily manage, grow, and protect data without requiring storage expertise. Designed to be deployed and managed by IT generalists with no storage expertise, they deliver everything you need to lower the cost and complexity of rapidly growing data storage environments. The revolutionary All-in-One Storage Manager (ASM) interface reduces the time, expense, and expertise required to keep up with rapidly growing applications. ASM eliminates complexity by automating storage tasks and presenting capacity in familiar application-centric terms, providing a simple way to control data growth.
Features
•
Breakthrough simplicity that lowers the cost and complexity of data management: The intuitive All-in-One Storage Manager interface radically simplifies the growth, management, and protection of data by hiding complexity and enabling storage to be a turnkey resource. Designed for IT generalists with no storage expertise, these systems can be setup and actively serving files in less than 30 minutes.
•
Integrated and adaptive storage solutions to enable business growth: HP All-in-One Storage Systems offer an incredible degree of utility and flexibility by providing shared storage for multiple application servers, file serving for end-user clients, and data protection for both file and application data via disk-snapshots and backup software.
•
Affordable and cost effective solution for growing application environments: Managed through a single interface, HP All-in-One Storage provides shared application storage (iSCSI SAN), file serving (NAS), and data protection below the cost of separate products and without the need to change your infrastructure.
•
Application-centric storage management simplifies operation and lowers costs: Easy to manage because it uses terms and functions familiar to application administrators. Includes end-to-end iSCSI management for Windows Servers plus iSCSI provisioning for other iSCSI initiators (Linux, VMWare, etc.). Provides data migration wizards for Microsoft Exchange 2003/2007 and SQL Server 2000/2005.
•
‘Best Practice’ toolkit makes every IT Administrator look like a storage expert: HP All-in-One Storage Systems include 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 less than 10 mouse clicks, saving you time and reducing the risk to your business.
•
Shared storage for growing application servers (iSCSI SAN) enables efficient use of capacity: Sharing storage between servers is more efficient and costs less to manage over time when compared to adding additional drives or servers. Sharing storage means that you maximize investments in additional capacity while enabling easier growth and shorter backup windows.
•
Enhanced file serving for end-user clients (NAS) to improve productivity and collaboration: Tuned for faster file serving performance (beyond standard Windows servers). The Single Instance Storage (SIS) de-duplication feature 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: Integrated data protection software allows you to easily manage disk based snapshots, consolidate network backup, and copy data to tape for offsite and long term archival. Includes hot plug disk drives (RAID), and hardware redundancy. Data can also be replicated to another system for enhanced disaster recovery.
•
Easy to deploy and manage so you can focus on your core business: The industry standard iSCSI interface provides the benefits of shared SAN storage on a traditional TCP/IP network. HP ProLiant hardware ensures reliability, low TCO, and easy support. The All-in-One Storage Manager quickly walks administrators through all setup and management tasks.
•
Award winning warranty, support and troubleshooting tools to ensure worry-free operation: HP All-in-One Storage Systems can send alerts for various events such as an impending disk failure reducing the potential for downtime while HP’s world class support organization and partner network ensures that you can quickly recover in the case of a problem.
