Because the X1800sb is built on the BL460c G6 Server Blade, you can manage and troubleshoot from
outside the office at both the operating system level (with Remote Desktop or HTTPS) and at the platform
level (using HP ProLiant Onboard Administrator with iLO Advanced for BladeSystem). The X1800sb
Network Storage Blade can also be managed by HP Systems Insight Manager (HP SIM).

Warranty

Industry standard HP BladeSystem hardware is backed by a 3/3/3 hardware warranty and 1 year
software support.

The X1800sb is tuned for faster file serving performance (beyond standard Windows servers). Single
Instance Storage (SIS) deduplication 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.

Intelligent storage services

Intelligent storage services Make more efficient use of storage space using the file deduplicating Single-instance Storage (SIS)

feature and enjoy the benefits of other storage-specific tools like Indexed Search, Quotas, File Screening,
Storage Reporting, and Distributed File System (DFS) Replication.

Microsoft Windows Storage Server 2008, Standard x64 Edition

64-bit processing (compatible with 32-bit applications)
Optimized for File Serving: Up to 20% faster file serving performance than a general-purpose
Windows Server 2008 installation on the same hardware.
HP-enhanced File Server Management Console: Features the familiar look and feel of the
Microsoft Management Console (MMC).
HP Rapid Startup: Simplifies and accelerates new device deployment by presenting basic system
settings on your first boot.
Single-instance Storage (SIS): Recovers up to 35% of disk space by deduplicating files and
reducing the amount of redundant data stored. Identifies identical files, stores a single copy of the
file in a central repository, and replaces the files with pointers to the file in the SIS common store.
Search Enhancements: Indexing Service extracts the information from a set of documents and
organizes it in a way that makes it quick and easy to access that information through the Search
function for computers running Windows 2000 or Windows XP.
File Server Resource Manager (FSRM): Provides both on-demand and scheduled reports detailing
storage use, allows administrators to create and manage folder and volume quotas, and permits
both name-based screening of files and allowing/disallowing file creation on specified folder
trees.
Distributed File System (DFS) Management Console: Updated DFS namespace failover, failback
and prioritization controls.
Distributed File System Replication (DFS-R): State-based, multi-master replication engine that
supports replication scheduling and bandwidth throttling. DFS-R uses a new compression
algorithm that efficiently updates files over limited bandwidth networks by replicating only the
changes needed to ensure global file consistency.
Full support of Volume Shadow Copy Service, which creates point-in-time copies of files and
folders at predetermined time intervals that can then be accessed from client computers.
Unlimited Client Access Licenses (CALs) included
Microsoft Services for Network File System (NFS)
Simultaneous support for multiple file serving protocols, including SMB/CIFS, NFS, HTTP, FTP,
and WebDAV
Print Management Console: Manage multiple printers (license for unlimited printer support) from
a single console, whether locally or over the WAN
