Overview
Simple. Affordable. Reliable.
HP All-in-One Storage
(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.

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.

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
minutes.
A single storage solution that can respond to a wide variety of business
needs. 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, disk based backup capabilities, and data
protection for both file and application data via snapshots and backup
software.
Managed through a single interface, HP All-in-One Storage provides shared
application storage (iSCSI Target), file serving (NAS), and data protection
below the cost of separate products and without the need to change your
infrastructure.
NOTE:
be implemented using standard Ethernet hardware you probably already
have.
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 ESX Server,
etc.). Provides data migration wizards for Microsoft Exchange 2003/2007
and SQL Server 2000/2005.
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.
Sharing storage between servers is more efficient and costs less to manage
over time when compared against adding additional drives to individual
servers. Sharing storage means that you maximize investments in additional
capacity while enabling easier growth and shorter backup windows. HP All-
in-One Storage Systems utilize the Microsoft iSCSI Software Target to
provide block-based access to network storage.
Tuned for faster file serving performance (20% faster than standard Windows
Server on the same hardware). Single Instance Storage (SIS) de-duplication
features 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. Support for heterogeneous environments
(CIFS/NFS) gives you the flexibility your changing business needs to serve
multiple operating environments.
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. Utilize your All-in-One
Storage pool as a disk based backup target for other systems in your
environment and manage Data Protector Express virtual library objects direct
from the All-in-One Storage Manager.
Uses standard tools and concepts familiar to server administrators to reduce
learning curve and barriers to network storage. 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
supportability. The All-in-One Storage Manager quickly walks administrators

This 4-drive entry-level tower solution built on the ProLiant ML110 G5
platform provides shared storage expansion for application servers (iSCSI
Target), enhanced file serving for end-user clients (NAS), and comprehensive
data protection features. The AiO400t is an affordable solution for small
datacenter or branch office environments that need less than 1TB SATA or
584GB SAS total raw capacity.
Sizing Guidelines: For Exchange environments, the AiO400 can be
used for smaller Storage Groups with less than 100 mailboxes when
using the Exchange ESRP implementation guidelines. Out of the box
implementations should only use the AiO400 for very few users or
archival Storage Groups unless using SAS HDDs. While it is certified
for VMWare ESX iSCSI connectivity, the AiO400 is not
recommended in VMFS environments due highly random read/write
performance characteristics of VMFS.

This mid-level tower/rack solution built on the ML350 G5 hardware platform
provides shared storage expansion for application servers (iSCSI SAN),
enhanced file serving for end-user clients (NAS), and comprehensive data
protection features. The AiO600 is an excellent solution for customers
looking for increased capacity, scalability, and hardware redundancy. The
AiO600 is available in both SATA and Serial Attached SCSI (SAS)
configurations.
Sizing Guidelines: For Exchange environments, AiO600 SATA
configurations are appropriate for storage groups with less than 500
mailboxes while AiO600 SAS configurations support up to 1,000
mailboxes when using the Exchange ESRP implementation guidelines.
Out of the box implementations for the AiO600 will support approx
25% of these numbers. The AiO600 is certified with VMWare ESX for
iSCSI connectivity; due to the highly random read/write performance
characteristics of VMFS we recommend SAS HDDs and the AiO1200
SAS as the best performance option for use with VMWare ESX and
VMFS.
This high capacity and performance optimized solution built on the DL320s
hardware platform provides shared storage expansion for application servers
(iSCSI SAN), enhanced file serving for end-user clients (NAS), and
comprehensive data protection features. The AiO1200 is an excellent
solution for customers looking for increased performance and capacity from
12 internal drives and a high performance RAID controller. The AiO1200 is
available in both SATA and Serial Attached SCSI (SAS) configurations.
