Overview
Unbelievably simple. Uniquely affordable. Unquestionably reliable.
About HP All-in-One (AiO) Storage:
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 mid-size 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 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 deployment in many different environments.
Imagine having a single integrated solution that could provide shared storage for application
(AiO600)
ASM provides easy setup of shared folders, backup target areas, and iSCSI Target storage for hosts running Windows Server,
Linux, VMWare ESX, or any other standards-compliant iSCSI initiator. 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.
Now you can have 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.
About the AiO600:
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.

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.
traffic and can 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
through all major setup and management tasks.
HP All-in-One Storage Systems can send alerts for various events such as an
impending disk failure reducing the potential for downtime while HP's world
class support organization and partner network ensures that you can quickly
recover in the case of a problem.

A dedicated segment is recommended for your iSCSI

This entry-level rackable solution provides shared storage expansion for
application servers (iSCSI SAN), enhanced file serving for end-user clients
(NAS), and comprehensive data protection features. The AiO400 is an
excellent solution for customers needing less than 1TB total raw capacity
without the performance requirements of SAS.
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. 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 tower/rack solution provides shared storage expansion for application
servers (iSCSI SAN), enhanced file serving for end-user clients (NAS), and

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 all-in-one solution provides shared storage expansion for
