File storage growth—the challenge
Global digital information doubles every 18 months— so if you currently manage 100 TB of data, it’ll be 200 TB in 18 months time, and that is just the average. File storage growth drives most of that increase. Managing storage growth is a difficult task on the whole, but the distributed nature of unstructured file-based data adds to the challenge significantly, and drives the need for improved file serving solutions.
Rapid file storage growth, driven by rich media like audio, video, graphics, backup files, and email is impacting businesses more now than ever before. You not only require immediate access to exploding volumes of data, but government regulations and corporate governance are dictating what must be kept, for how long, and the speed with which it must be accessed. Therefore, it is critical that you invest in a cost-effective, modular, file-serving solution that can support your business now and well into the future. Consolidating file data with a dedicated Network Attached Storage (NAS) solution can help you address your changing file serving needs and reduce your cost of ownership by enabling simplified management, better resource utilization, centralized growth, and data protection.

Regardless of the size of your organization, HP StorageWorks NAS solutions enable you to control explosive file growth while reducing costs and simplifying data management.

HP StorageWorks X3000 Network Storage Systems
HP StorageWorks X3000 Network Storage Systems boost the value of your array or SAN by adding Windows-powered IP-based gateway services to it. You’ll spend less time and effort on maintenance and deliver a better return-on-investment for your array/SAN when you consolidate to a single, unified storage pool that can serve files to your clients and blocks to your servers via multiple protocols (FC/iSCSI or SAS/iSCSI). Industry-standards protect your investment by providing compatibility with your network and applications, and a Microsoft Cluster Server (MSCS) license is included to provide high availability and reduce downtime.
HP StorageWorks X5000 Storage Systems
HP StorageWorks X5000 Storage Systems add scalable file services and a file server gateway for mid-range and enterprise customer’s SAN and iSCSI storage systems. Based on a truly symmetrical cluster file system, HP X5000 Storage Systems add scale-out CIFS/NFS/HTTP file services to any new or existing SAN or iSCSI storage. Now file serving performance or storage capacity can be added independently online without service disruption.
HP X5000 Storage Systems provide unified storage management. It can create an integrated block and file-level storage solution out of any SAN, consolidating individual pools of storage into a single, shared resource of storage that simplifies storage allocation, yields high utilization, and reduces IT costs as compared to traditionally architected storage solutions.
