Consolidate islands of direct-attached or network attached storage to one easy-to-use Windows-powered
shared storage platform. Since it's versatile unified storage, it can be a file server (or disk-based backup /
replication target), an iSCSI target for application/virtual environment storage, or both.

The Windows-powered operating system is pre-installed and user storage is easy to provision with HP
Automated Storage Manager (ASM), so you can add storage to your network quickly and securely.

In a Windows (SMB/CIFS) environment, there's no better way to serve files. Windows Storage Server 2008
R2 delivers better file serving performance than standard Windows Server 2008 R2, has exclusive features
like Single Instance Storage (SIS) file de-duplication, 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.

NAS isn't just about sharing files any more-it's about sharing information. With the included Microsoft iSCSI
Software Target, you can host storage for applications like Microsoft Exchange, Microsoft SQL, Microsoft
SharePoint, or Oracle, and you can drive additional consolidation by hosting storage for Microsoft Hyper-V,
VMWare, or Xen deployments.

It's running Windows, so it integrates natively into your Windows Active Directory (AD) and Distributed File
System (DFS) environments, runs your favorite antivirus, backup, and storage management applications,
and the Microsoft Management Console (MMC) user interface has a familiar look and feel.

Relax -- your investment is protected because you're not locked into proprietary platforms. X1000 G2
Network Storage Systems are built on HP ProLiant Server technology and feature Multi-Core Intel® Xeon®
processors, support for SATA or SAS internal hot-plug hard drives, and easy external expansion with HP
D2000 enclosures.

Create, migrate, manage, and protect shared storage without the need for storage expertise using HP ASM
Software, which is included with all X1000 G2 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.

Make more efficient use of storage space using the file de-duplicating 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.

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 Integrated Lights-Out with the included iLO Advanced
Pack License). X1000 G2 Network Storage Systems also integrate with HP Systems Insight Manager (HP
SIM) and support ProLiant Support Pack.

Standard Features

HP X1000 G2 Network Storage Systems

Operating System

Microsoft Windows Storage Server 2008 R2, Standard x64 Edition

64-bit processing (compatible with 32-bit applications)
Optimized for File Serving: Better file serving performance out of the box than a general-purpose
Windows Server 2008 R2 installation on the same hardware.
HP-enhanced File Server Management Console: Features the familiar look and feel of the Microsoft
Management Console (MMC).
HP Initial Configuration Task Tool: Simplifies and accelerates new device deployment by presenting
basic system settings on your first boot.
Single-instance Storage (SIS): Recovers up to 40% of disk space by de-duplicating files and reducing
the amount of redundant data stored (based on Microsoft internal testing). Identifies duplicate 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, Windows XP or Windows Vista.
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.
File Classification Infrastructure: provides insight into your data to help you manage your data more
effectively, reduce costs and mitigate risks by providing a built-in solution for file classification
allowing administrators to automate manual processes with predefined policies based on the data's
business value. Also provided is an extensible infrastructure upon which ISVs can build end-to-end
solutions that enable organizations to perform advanced classification and data management.
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.
Hosted BranchCache - Using a client/server architecture, Windows 7 client computers cache content
on the local network to an X1000 G2 Network Storage System running Windows Storage Server
2008 R2, known as the Hosted Cache. Other clients who need the same content retrieve it directly
from the Hosted Cache. (only available by upgrading OS from Standard to Enterprise Edition. See
ordering and configuration section for details)
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
Support for any number of SATA or SAS drives and multiple network ports
Support for up to 32GB of SDRAM

NOTE:

X1400 G2, X1600 G2, X1800 G2 Network Storage Systems are primarily connected to PDUs in racks,
so they ship standard with only PDU C-14 to C13 power cord(s). However, you may alternatively plug an
X1000 G2 Network Storage System into a wall receptacle by ordering a separate power cord. For the
X1500, a regional or country specific power cord option must be ordered with the product. (see power cord

Rack 10000 series Cabinets

The increasing power of new high-performance processor technology requires increased cooling efficiency
for rack-mounted servers. The 10000 Series Racks provide enhanced airflow for maximum cooling,
allowing these racks to be fully loaded with servers using the latest processors.

CAUTION:

airflow and to prevent damage to the equipment:

Front and rear doors: If your 42U server rack includes closing front and rear doors, you must allow 5,350
sq cm (830 square inches) of hole evenly distributed from top to bottom to permit adequate airflow
(equivalent to the required 64 percent open area for ventilation).
Side: The clearance between the installed rack component and the side panels of the rack must be a
minimum of 7 cm (2.75 inches)

CAUTION:

arrangement ensures proper airflow. Using a rack without blanking panels results in improper cooling that
can lead to thermal damage.

If a third-party rack is used, observe the following additional requirements to ensure adequate

Always use blanking panels to fill all remaining empty front panel U-spaces in the rack. This
