Manage, expand, and protect a single centralized storage system
Consolidate islands of direct-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.

Go from out-of-the-box to sharing storage in minutes, not hours
The Windows-powered operating system is pre-installed and user storage is easy to provision with HP ASM, so you can add storage to your network quickly and securely.

Optimized file services for clients
In a Windows (SMB/CIFS) environment, there's no better way to serve files. Windows Storage Server 2008 delivers better file serving performance than standard Windows Server, 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.

Shared storage for servers and virtual machines
NAS isn't just about sharing files any more-it's about sharing information. With the included Microsoft iSCSI Software Target, you can host server 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.

Seamless integration into your Windows environment
It's running Windows, so it integrates natively into your Active Directory and 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 ProLiant industry-standard hardware
Relax – your investment is protected because you're not locked into proprietary platforms. X1000 Network Storage Systems are built on HP ProLiant technology and feature Quad-Core Intel® Xeon® processors, support for SATA or SAS internal hot-plug hard drives, and easy external expansion with HP MSA enclosures.

HP X1000 Automated Storage Manager Software (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.

Intelligent storage services
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.

Remote and Enterprise manageability
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 2 with the included Advanced Pack). X1000 Network Storage Systems also integrate with HP Systems Insight Manager (HP SIM) and support ProLiant Support Pack.

Microsoft iSCSI Software Target included
Network Attached Storage (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 and SQL, or for Microsoft Hyper-V or VMware deployments.

Storage-specific tools and features included
Get Quotas, File Screening, Storage Reporting, Volume Shadow Copy Service (VSS) snapshots, and Distributed File System (DFS) Replication—all at no extra cost.

Print server support
X1000 Network Storage Systems host print services too, offering consolidation benefits to your Windows print environment.

Get more space using file de-duplication
Single Instance Storage (SIS) recovers up to 35 percent of disk capacity by reducing the number of redundant files.

Familiar management look and feel
If you’ve used Microsoft Management Console (MMC) to manage a Windows server, you’re probably already familiar with how to manage X1000 Network Storage Systems.
