HP All-in-One (AiO) Storage: Imagine having a single integrated solution that could provide shared storage for application servers (iSCSI Target), enhanced file serving for end-user clients (NAS), backup target services for network data, and data protection software to keep all of your data safe and secure; these are the key functions of HP All-in-One Storage and together, they allow businesses to lower costs, increase efficiencies, and respond to rapid data growth. HP StorageWorks All-in-One Storage Systems are radically simple, integrated, and affordable network storage solutions that enable small and mid-size companies to easily manage, grow, and protect their data without requiring them to become storage experts. These systems are designed to be deployed and managed by IT generalists with no storage expertise and deliver everything you need to lower the cost and complexity of rapidly growing data storage environments.

The user-friendly All-in-One Storage Manager (HP ASM) interface reduces the time, expense, and expertise required to keep up with rapidly growing applications like Microsoft Exchange. Busy IT Managers do not have time to learn and manage complex storage technologies; HP ASM eliminates this barrier by handling all underlying storage tasks and presenting network storage in application-centric terms, giving administrators newfound levels of control. Data migration tools for Exchange 2003/2007 and SQL Server 2000/2005/2008 include 'best practice' recommendations which allow any IT generalist to look like a storage expert. Tools for hosting 'user defined' applications enable flexible iSCSI deployment in many different environments including Windows, Linux, VMware ESX, or other standards-compliant iSCSI initiators. Administrators can quickly and easily setup or expand data areas, migrate data from capacity constrained servers, manage disk based backup storage areas, implement disk replication and tape backup policies, and more. Finally, 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.

NOTE: iSCSI performance varies by model and host application I/O characteristics. For best performance choose a system with a high number of drive spindles and SAS hard drives

About the AiO1200r: This high storage density, performance-optimized, and easily expandable solution built on the HP ProLiant DL185 G5 Storage Server provides shared storage expansion for application servers (iSCSI SAN), enhanced file serving for end-user clients (NAS), and comprehensive data protection features all in 12-drive/2U rack-mount package. The AiO1200r is an excellent solution if you're looking for increased performance and storage capacity from up to 12 internal drives and a high performance RAID controller that's also ready for external expansion. The AiO1200r is available in both SATA and Serial Attached SCSI (SAS) configurations.

NOTE: Updates to the HP All-in-One Storage Manager (HP ASM) are posted to support links available at: http://www.hp.com/go/aiostorage. Some of the management features discussed in this document may require the installation of software updates depending on the version of HP ASM installed on your system. Be sure to check for updates to make sure you are using the latest version of the software. Critical updates for the Windows Storage Server 2003 R2 operating system can be implemented using standard Windows Update functionality but you should disable any auto-restart options to avoid complications with iSCSI connections. Updates to the included Data Protector Express software are done as part of updates to HP ASM to maintain the management integration with the other AiO components. Data Protector Express should not be upgraded independently of HP ASM.

• A high-capacity and high-performance 5.4TB SAS model (AK223A) featuring twelve 450GB SAS HDDs

• Sizing Guidelines: For Exchange environments, the AiO400t can be used for smaller Storage Groups with less than 100 mailboxes when using the Exchange ESRP implementation guidelines. Out-of-the-box implementations should only use the AiO400t for very few users or archival Storage Groups unless using SAS HDDs. While it is certified for VMWare ESX iSCSI connectivity, the AiO400t is not recommended in VMFS environments due highly random read/write performance characteristics of VMFS.

• Sizing Guidelines: For Exchange environments, the AiO400r can be used for smaller Storage Groups with less than 100 mailboxes when using the Exchange ESRP implementation guidelines. Out-of-the-box implementations should only use the AiO400r for very few users or archival Storage Groups unless using SAS HDDs. While it is certified for VMWare ESX iSCSI connectivity, the AiO400r is not recommended in VMFS environments due highly random read/write performance characteristics of VMFS.

• Sizing Guidelines: For Exchange environments, AiO1200r SATA configurations are appropriate for storage groups with less than 500 mailboxes while AiO1200r SAS configurations support up to 1,500 mailboxes when using the Exchange ESRP implementation guidelines. Out-of-the-box implementations for the AiO1200r will support approximately 25% of these numbers. The AiO1200r is certified with VMWare ESX for iSCSI connectivity; due to the highly random read/write performance characteristics of VMFS we recommend SAS HDDs for use with VMWare ESX and VMFS.

• Sizing Guidelines: For Exchange environments, AiO SB600c SAS configurations are appropriate for storage groups with less than 500 mailboxes. The AiO SB600c is certified with VMWare ESX for iSCSI connectivity.
