• X1600 292GB SAS Network Storage System. This model uses a new X1600 chassis with 2 rear drive slots. Those rear drive slots contain 2 x 146GB SFF SAS drives with the OS pre-installed and mirrored. The 12 LFF drive slots in the front are the same as the X1600 models. ONLY the new sku, AW528A, uses the new rear drive chassis, the other X1600 sku only have the 12LFF drive slots in the front, no rear drives.

Microsoft Windows Storage Server 2008, Standard x64 Edition

• 64-bit processing (compatible with 32-bit applications)
• Optimized for File Serving: Better file serving performance out of the box than a general-purpose Windows Server 2008 installation on the same hardware.
• HP-enhanced File Server Management Console: Features the familiar look and feel of the Microsoft Management Console (MMC).
• HP StorageWorks Rapid Startup: Simplifies and accelerates new device deployment by presenting basic system settings on your first boot.
• Single-instance Storage (SIS): Recovers up to 35% of disk space by de-duplicating files and reducing the amount of redundant data stored. Identifies identical files, stores a single copy of the file in a central repository, and replaces the files with pointers to the file in the SIS common store.
• Search Enhancements: Indexing Service extracts the information from a set of documents and organizes it in a way that makes it quick and easy to access that information through the Search function for computers running Windows 2000 or Windows XP.
• File Server Resource Manager (FSRM): Provides both on-demand and scheduled reports detailing storage use, allows administrators to create and manage folder and volume quotas, and permits both name-based screening of files and allowing/disallowing file creation on specified folder trees.
• Distributed File System (DFS) Management Console: Updated DFS namespace failover, failback and prioritization controls.
• Distributed File System Replication (DFS-R): State-based, multi-master replication engine that supports replication scheduling and bandwidth throttling. DFS-R uses a new compression algorithm that efficiently updates files over limited bandwidth networks by replicating only the changes needed to ensure global file consistency.
• Full support of Volume Shadow Copy Service, which creates point-in-time copies of files and folders at predetermined time intervals that can then be accessed from client computers.
• Unlimited Client Access Licenses (CALs) included
• Microsoft Services for Network File System (NFS)
• Simultaneous support for multiple file serving protocols, including SMB/CIFS, NFS, HTTP, FTP, and WebDAV
• Print Management Console: Manage multiple printers (license for unlimited printer support) from a single console, whether locally or over the WAN
• Support for any number of SATA or SAS drives and multiple network ports
• Support for up to 32GB of SDRAM

Microsoft iSCSI Software Target v3.2

• Microsoft iSCSI Software Target version 3.2 is interoperable with iSCSI initiators that comply with the standard iSCSI protocol.

  • SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 10
  • Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5
  • QLogic QLE4062C-SP, firmware 3.00.01.24

NOTE: Microsoft conducted these interoperability tests at the request of certain OEM vendors.
