Rapid data growth of both unstructured file data and structured application data from database and e-mail means storage capacity requirements continue to evolve. The AiO SB600c provides flexible expansion of storage capacity within the BladeSystem enclosure. Combining iSCSI shared storage, NAS file serving, and integrated data protection provides efficient shared storage capacity for HP BladeSystem c-Class servers. The SB600c provides a simple, affordable, and reliable network storage solution that provides many of the management, consolidation, and data protection features typically reserved for higher-priced and more complex storage products.

Built on the ProLiant BL460c server and SB40c Storage Blade, the SB600c unifies internal shared storage options through the centralized HP AiO Storage Manager (ASM) interface. The SB600c internal shared storage solution provides:

• Application server storage (iSCSI SAN)
• Windows file serving (NAS)
• Centralized storage management and integrated data protection using HP AiO Storage Manager
• A fully integrated copy of HP StorageWorks Data Protector Express software for enhanced backup and recovery

Shared storage within the BladeSystem enclosure eliminates the complexity of attaching to external storage. The industry standard iSCSI interface provides the benefits of shared SAN storage within the enclosure by simply using the server's embedded NICs.

Radically simple management with HP AiO Storage Manager
Designed for IT generalists with no storage expertise, the AiO Storage Manager (ASM) eliminates complexity by automating storage tasks and presenting capacity in familiar application-centric terms, providing a simple way to control data growth.

The easy-to-use, All-in-One Storage Manager (ASM) interface reduces the time and expertise required to manage rapidly growing applications like Microsoft Exchange. ASM handles all underlying storage tasks and presents network storage in application-centric terms, giving the IT generalist newfound levels of control.
