HP StorageWorks X3400 Network Storage Gateway
You made the decision to invest in a storage array, but now you've found that you still have file and application servers that aren't connected. So you're still spending time managing islands of storage and your array isn't meeting its full potential. Wouldn't it be nice to complete the consolidation to truly create one unified storage pool to expand and protect?
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.
Add Value to an Array Investment
• HP X3000 Network Storage Gateways are file and iSCSI bridges into a Fibre Channel or SAS array, or into a Fibre Channel SAN. They add IP-based data services, including file serving and iSCSI, in a package that can be clustered for high-availability and can host array management utilities.
Do More with Fewer Resources
• The operating system is pre-installed, so it's a fast, safe, and easy way to add gateway services to your array or SAN.
Protect and Optimize Your Investment
• Relax — your investment is protected because you're not locked into proprietary hardware. And you can take advantage of built-in functionality like Integrated Lights-Out2 that lets you manage and troubleshoot remotely. X3000 models integrate with HP SIM and support ProLiant Support Pack.
Storage Management Tools
• Storage-specific tools and features included - File Deduplication, Quotas, File Screening, Storage Reporting, Volume Shadow Copy Service (VSS) snapshots, Windows Active Directory and Distributed File System (DFS) Replication.
