In a Windows (SMB/CIFS) environment, there's no better way to serve files. Windows Storage Server
2008 delivers better file serving performance than standard Windows Server, has exclusive features like
Single Instance Storage (SIS) file deduplication, and supports Volume Shadow Copy Service snapshots. In
mixed environments, you get the flexibility of heterogeneous support for additional protocols like NFS,
HTTP, FTP, and WebDAV. File serving inside the BladeSystem enclosure is available when the X1800sb
is paired with the SB40c Storage Blade. The X1800sb can also be used as an affordable SAN gateway
to provide consolidated file-service access to FC, SAS, or iSCSI SANs.

Pair the X1800sb with the SB40c Storage Blade, and you not only have file services, but you also have
an internal iSCSI shared storage solution. Managed through a single interface, the X1800sb provides
shared application storage (iSCSI SAN), file serving (NAS), and data protection inside the Blade System
enclosure. The HP Automated Storage Manager is included, providing an 'application-centric'
management tool that hides storage complexity.
HP Automated Storage Manager (HP ASM): Create, migrate, manage, and protect shared storage
without the need for storage expertise using HP ASM Software, which is included with all X1000 Network
Storage Systems. HP ASM is designed for IT generalists and is like getting a storage expert in the box. It
includes tools to quickly and easily migrate and manage file and iSCSI data using automated best
practice settings, and you can enable optional data protection features within HP ASM by installing HP
Data Protector Express Software, and/or HP Storage Mirroring Software.
Integrated data protection: Provides an easy mechanism to manage disk based snapshots for easy
rollback, integrated data protection software for offsite and archive, hot-plug disk drives (RAID), and
hardware redundancy. Data can also be replicated to another system for enhanced disaster recovery.
