Connect the X1800sb G2
to internal or external
storage

Pair the X1800sb G2 with the D2200sb storage blade and create iSCSI shared storage and file
serving inside the BladeSystem enclosure.
Or use the X1800sb G2 as an affordable gateway to external FC, SAS, or iSCSI storage.

Go from out-of-the-box
to
sharing storage in
minutes, not hours.

Built on the ProLiant BL460c G7 Server Blade, the X1800sb G2 comes pre-installed with Microsoft®
Windows Storage Server 2008 R2 Standard x64 Edition operating system with Microsoft iSCSI Software
Target and HP Automated Storage Manager Software (HP ASM) included.

Optimized file services
using internal or external
storage

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 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 G2
is paired with the D2200sb Storage Blade. The X1800sb G2 can also be used as an affordable SAN gateway
to provide consolidated file-service access to FC, SAS, or iSCSI SANs.

Internal shared storage
for BladeSystem
application servers

Pair the X1800sb G2 with the D2200sb 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 G2
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.

Seamless integration into
your Windows
environment

It's running Windows, so it integrates natively into your 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.

HP storage management
enhancements

Microsoft Management Console (MMC)-based user interface (also accessible via HTTPS)

Features the familiar look and feel of the Microsoft Management Console (MMC). Access to HP tools
such as ACU are centralized on the HP Storage Server Management console.

HP Rapid Start-up Wizard: Simplifies and accelerates new device deployment by walking you through basic
system settings step-by-step.

Remote and Enterprise
HW management

Because the X1800sb G2 is built on the BL460c G7 Server Blade, 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 HP ProLiant Onboard Administrator with iLO Advanced for BladeSystem). The X1800sb G2
Network Storage Blade can also be managed by HP Systems Insight Manager (HP SIM).

Warranty

Industry standard HP BladeSystem hardware is backed by a 3/3/3 hardware warranty and 1 year software
support.

File/print serving
(NAS)

The X1800sb G2 is tuned for faster file serving performance (beyond standard Windows servers). Single
Instance Storage (SIS) deduplication can improve capacity utilization by 35% or more by eliminating
duplicate files within shared volumes. Full text search capabilities increase the speed of end-user search.

Intelligent storage
services

Make more efficient use of storage space using the file deduplicating 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.

Operating System pre­installed

Microsoft Windows Storage Server 2008 R2, Standard x64 Edition

64-bit processing (compatible with 32-bit applications)
Optimized for File Serving: Up to 20% faster file serving performance than a general-purpose
Windows Server 2008 installation on the same hardware.
HP-enhanced File Server Management Console: Features the familiar look and feel of the Microsoft
Management Console (MMC).
HP Rapid Startup: Simplifies and accelerates new device deployment by presenting basic system
settings on your first boot.
Single-instance Storage (SIS): Recovers up to 35% of disk space by deduplicating files and reducing
the amount of redundant data stored. Identifies identical 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.
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

For increased uptime, productivity and ROI-HP Care Pack packaged services for Storage

These days, you need to get the most out of your storage investment-you can't afford not to. When you buy HP storage products and
solutions, it's also a good time to think about what levels of service and support you may need. To help take the worry out of
deploying, designing, maintaining, and managing your environment, we've designed a portfolio of service options that are as: flexible,
reliable and scalable as your storage. Unlike storage-only vendors, we take a holistic approach to your entire environment, bridging
storage, servers, blades, software and network infrastructures with our HP Care Pack packaged services for Storage.

Protect your business beyond the warranty

When it comes to robustness and reliability, standard warranties on today's computing equipment have matured just as the
technologies have matured. Good news on some fronts-but also a source of potential problems and subsequent consequences that
come from depending on standard warranties alone. Standard warranty protects against product defects and some causes of
downtime- but not the business. By using a standard approach to warranty uplifts, such as HP Care Pack Services, you can reduce
downtime risks and be more certain of operational consistency for both mission-critical and standard business computing. Simply put,
HP Care Pack Services normalize the warranty of combined products - helping you proactively guard against unplanned downtime.
