Hewlett-Packard SMB storage devices

Thursday, 15 October, 2009


Hewlett-Packard has launched two storage solutions aimed at small to medium businesses (SMBs): the StorageWorks X500 Data Vault Series and the StorageWorks X3000 Network Storage Systems High Availability (HA) Bundles.

The StorageWorks X500 Data Vault Series enables small businesses with up to 10 PC clients and Macs to store information in a central place. It covers the following aspects of storage: data storage - customers can meet demanding storage needs with up to three terabytes of storage space and virtually unlimited expansion capabilities that add capacity without powering down the device; data protection - customers can ensure data protection in the event of failure by automatically backing up their clients daily. Customers have added protection by choosing which files are most important, and then - with the click of a mouse - duplicating that folder to a second hard disk drive; data sharing - customers can share files on their local network through an easy-to-use control panel. Users can also collaborate on projects through Microsoft Windows Home Server, which allows secure remote access to business files.

The StorageWorks X3000 Network Storage Systems High Availability (HA) Bundles for larger customers are unified high-availability storage solutions for businesses with limited resources, as well as enterprise branch offices that support business-critical applications.

The bundles include StorageWorks X3000 gateway; HP StorageWorks MSA2000 array; a host bus adapter (HBA); and cables. The X3000’s unified, shared storage solution provides file, internet SCSI (iSCSI), print and management, as well as traditional storage array functionality. These utilities optimise the delivery of data files to increase storage efficiency. The X3000 also offers multiprotocol support to fibre channel or Serial Attached SCSI (SAS) to maximise return on current technology investments.
