HP StorageWorks X1600 G2 Rack Server System Intel Xeon E5520 2.26GHz 4C/8T 6GB DDR3 24TB (12 x 2TB) Windows Storage Server 2008 R2 x64 BV862SB

With HP StorageWorks X1600 G2, worry about storage is a thing of past. When you’re working with multiple management interfaces, security concerns, and shrinking backup windows, your growing data requires more and more space. HP StorageWorks X1600 G2 is the solution. It is a powerful and easily-managed storage server. It not only helps add Windows-powered unified shared storage to your small or medium IT environment in an easy and fast way, but also saves your money since it’s a multi-protocol file server for Windows and UNIX/Linux and also iSCSI storage for applications/virtual environments. Plus, the X1000 G2 is an economical and easy to manage solution for consolidating to centralized shared network storage. The operating system is pre-installed and comes with HP X1000 Automated Storage Manager, so you’ll be up and running in minutes.

• Get More for your MoneyConsolidate islands of direct-attached storage to one easy-to-use Windows shared network 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. 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 standard network protocols like NFS, HTTP, FTP, and WebDAV. 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 a bunch of applications—all at no extra cost. Don’t forget that X1000 G2 Network Storage Systems host print services too, offering consolidation benefits to your Windows print environment.
• Do More with Fewer ResourcesThe 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. Create, migrate, manage, and protect file shares (NAS) and application storage (iSCSI Target) without the need for storage expertise. Automated ‘best practice’ logic configures storage without your needing to know industry-established best practices. ASM is like having a storage expert in the box. A consolidated and unified shared network storage system means you have one thing to manage, expand, and protect. Single Instance Storage (SIS) recovers up to 35% of disk capacity by reducing the number of redundant files. If you’ve used Microsoft Management Console (MMC) to manage a Windows server, you’re probably already familiar with how to manage HP X1000 G2 Network Storage Systems.
• Protect and Optimize your InvestmentRelax — your investment is protected because you’re not locked into proprietary hardware. And you can take advantage of built-in functionality like Integrated Lights-Out that lets you manage and troubleshoot remotely. X1000 G2 models integrate with HP SIM and support ProLiant Support Pack. HP X1000 G2 Network Storage Systems feature multi-core Intel Xeon processors and support for advanced components. There’s also an X1000 G2 network storage solution for HP C-class BladeSystem (X1800sb G2). The X1000 G2 models run a Windows operating system, so they integrate natively (not by emulation) into your Windows Active Directory and DFS environments, and run your off standard Windows-based antivirus, backup, and storage management applications. It backs up 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.
• Storage Management ToolsTo ease storage management, storage-specific tools and features are included – File Deduplication, Quotas, File Screening, Storage Reporting, Volume Shadow Copy Service (VSS) snapshots, Windows Active Directory and Distributed File System (DFS) Replication.
