Simple. Affordable. Reliable.
HP All-in-One Storage: Imagine having a single integrated solution that could provide shared storage for application servers
(iSCSI Target), enhanced file serving for end-user clients (NAS), backup target services for network data, and data protection
software to keep all of your data safe and secure; these are the key functions of HP All-in-One Storage and together, they allow
businesses to lower costs, increase efficiencies, and respond to rapid data growth. HP StorageWorks All-in-One Storage Systems
are radically simple, integrated, and affordable network storage solutions that enable small and midsize companies to easily
manage, grow, and protect their data without requiring them to become storage experts. These systems are designed to be
deployed and managed by IT generalists with no storage expertise and deliver everything you need to lower the cost and
complexity of rapidly growing data storage environments.
The easy-to-use, All-in-One Storage Manager (ASM) interface reduces the time, expense, and expertise required to keep up with
rapidly growing applications like Microsoft Exchange. Busy IT Managers do not have time to learn and manage complex storage
technologies; ASM eliminates this barrier by handling all underlying storage tasks and presenting network storage in application-
centric terms, giving administrators newfound levels of control. Data migration tools for Exchange 2003/2007 and SQL Server
2000/2005 include 'best practice' recommendations which allow any IT generalist to look like a storage expert. Tools for hosting
'user defined' applications enable flexible iSCSI deployment in many different environments including Windows, Linux, VMware
ESX, or other standards-compliant iSCSI initiators.. Administrators can quickly and easily setup or expand data areas, migrate data
from capacity constrained servers, manage disk based backup storage areas, implement disk and tape backup policies, and more.
Finally, a simple, affordable, and reliable network storage solution that provides many of the management, consolidation, and data
protection features typically reserved for higher-priced and more complex storage products.
NOTE: iSCSI performance varies by model and host application I/O characteristics. For best performance choose a system with a
high number of drive spindles, and utilize SAS hard drives.

NOTE: Updates to the HP All-in-One Storage Manager (ASM) are posted to support links available on individual product pages
from:

. Some of the management features discussed in this document may require the
installation of software updates depending on the version of ASM installed on your system. Be sure to check for updates to make
sure you are using the latest version of the software. Critical updates for the Windows Storage Server 2003 R2 operating system
can be implemented using standard Windows Update functionality but you should disable any auto-restart options to avoid
complications with iSCSI connections. For other software components you should only update components as part of an All-in-One
Storage System update. Do not separately download or install individual updates for Data Protector Express as this may adversely
affect the management integration of these components.
