You have better things to do than worry about file storage. You're juggling multiple management interfaces, security concerns, and shrinking backup windows--all while your users continue to demand more and more space for their data. You need to add file storage that's powerful and easy to manage, and you need to do it fast.

A DL380 G5 Storage Server is a fast and easy way to add file storage to your network. Its Microsoft Windows-powered operating system is pre-installed and internal storage is pre-configured, so you're up and serving files in minutes. It supports multiple file sharing protocols, so you can consolidate and make a single centralized platform to manage and protect, or you can create a scalable disk-based backup/replication target. And if you have a Fibre Channel SAN, you can use the x64 SAN model and its built-in iSCSI software target to create file access and tiered block storage for application servers.

Once your solution is installed, you'll find that you spend less time and effort on file management and maintenance. You can manage and troubleshoot from almost anywhere with either remote desktop or Integrated Lights-out 2. Since it's running Windows, it integrates seamlessly into your Active Directory and DFS environments, runs your favorite antivirus or backup applications, and has a familiar management look and feel. And don't forget that it's a print server, too.

All DL380 G5 Storage Servers are built on industry standards and include features that protect and optimize your investment. The high-performance 2U rack mount platform delivers the flexibility you need with six scalable appliance models plus the file/iSCSI SAN gateway that features Microsoft's unified storage operating system. All models offer intelligent storage-specific tools and features like Indexed Search and Single-instance Storage (SIS), which de-duplicates file storage and helps save disk space.

CAUTION: If a third-party rack is used, observe the following additional requirements to ensure adequate 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 830 square inches (5,350 sq cm) 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 2.75 inches (7 cm).
  

CAUTION: Always use blanking panels to fill all remaining empty front panel U-spaces in the rack. This arrangement ensures proper airflow. Using a rack without blanking panels results in improper cooling that can lead to thermal damage.

The HP ProLiant DL380 G5 quick deploy rail system provides tool-free support for racks with square or round mounting holes (including Compaq/HP 7000*, 9000, 10000 and HP series), with an adjustment range of 24" - 36". The ambidextrous cable management arm can be mounted on either the left or right side for improved cable management.
*High Airflow Inserts (High Air Flow Rack Door Insert for the 7142 Rack (single) - PN: 327281-B21; or High Air Flow Rack Door Insert for the 7142 Rack (6-pack) - PN: 327281-B22) are required to support the HP ProLiant DL380 G5 in 7000 series racks. The DL380 G5 Cable Management Arm is not supported on 7000 series racks.
NOTE: Cable management arm must be removed to access hot-plug power supplies when the cable management arm is mounted on the right.

DL380 G5 Telco Rack Kit:
Support for all 2-post Telco racks requires the use of the standard rack kit and an additional option kit from Rack Solutions (http://www.racksolutions.com/hp/)

NOTE: DL380 G5 Storage Servers come with either Windows Storage Server 2003 R2 (Standard x64 Edition) or Windows Unified Data Storage Server (Enterprise x64 Edition) pre-installed; check software qualification with 64-bit Windows operating systems before purchase and installation

HP ProLiant Storage Servers and third-party storage arrays/SAN interoperability statement

HP acknowledges that some third party storage arrays/SAN environments have been successfully tested for interoperability with the HP ProLiant Storage Server or HP StorageWorks NAS products. HP will provide support for the HP ProLiant Storage Servers or HP StorageWorks NAS products when connected to third-party storage arrays, but HP will not provide support on third party storage arrays/SAN unless specifically called out in an HP Support contract. HP may support the third party SAN environment attached to HP ProLiant Storage Servers or the HP StorageWorks NAS products when specifically under contract with HP, but that SAN coverage does not extend to supporting the SAN connectivity of the third-party array.

If you call HP Services and the problem is determined to be caused by a third-party storage array or the storage arrays' connectivity into a non-HP supported SAN, you will be directed to contact the third-party storage array supplier for support. Please refer to the third-party supplier for information relating to specific support of their storage arrays with Windows Storage Server 2003 R2 and Windows Unified Data Storage Server 2003 platforms.
