Maximize efficiency of your existing SAN infrastructure by extending the benefits of shared storage to application servers and end user clients. The HP ProLiant SB460c SAN Gateway Storage Server is a ready-to-deploy NAS/SAN gateway, providing consolidated file-serving access as well as cost-saving iSCSI connectivity within the BladeSystem enclosure.

Cost effective flexibility
Cost-effectively leverage your existing Fibre Channel SAN for file services or iSCSI services with a value-priced gateway for the HP BladeSystem c-Class, combining file and print services in addition to iSCSI connectivity on a single NAS/SAN gateway platform.

• Use the SB460c as a NAS gateway to translate file data into blocks, consolidating file-serving access to SAN or MSA shared storage
• The BL460c SAN Gateway includes Microsoft® iSCSI Software Target, allowing application servers to use less expensive iSCSI over an IP-based network to connect to an existing FC infrastructure.
• Used as a Windows print server, the integrated print management console allows multiple printers to be managed from a single interface.

Time saving pre-installation and fast deployment
Microsoft Windows Unified Data Storage Server (WUDSS) 2003 is pre-installed and user storage is pre-configured, so it's easy to add file serving and iSCSI services to your Fibre Channel SAN. The HP Rapid Start-up Wizard further simplifies and accelerates new device deployment by walking you through basic system settings step-by-step. Get file serving and iSCSI connectivity up and running in minutes, not hours.

Intelligent storage management
Microsoft WUDSS is a dedicated file and print serving operating system that offers a full-featured, integrated management interface, Microsoft iSCSI Software Target, Microsoft Cluster Server license, and enhanced remote administration support. Make more efficient use of storage space using the file de-duplicating Single-instance Storage (SIS) feature and enjoy the benefits of other storage-specific tools like Index-based search, SharePoint® Services support, Quotas, File Screening, Storage Reporting, and Distributed File System (DFS) Replication. HP has enhanced the Microsoft Management Console (MMC), centralizing HP storage management tools within the familiar MMC console.

The ProLiant SB460c SAN Gateway Storage Server is built on the HP ProLiant BL460c server. The SB460c includes two quad-core processors, 8GB of memory, and expandability to multiple terabytes of storage via external arrays, making an ideal network storage and SAN gateway solution for SMB, workgroup, and small enterprise environments.

Microsoft Windows Unified Data Storage (WUDSS) Server 2003, Enterprise x64 Edition

• Microsoft Windows iSCSI Software Target: Adds block storage capability and creates a single platform that delivers file, print, and application storage services, all over existing Ethernet networks. New wizards give you the ability to easily create and manage iSCSI targets, create and manage disks for storage, and implement backup and recovery support using snapshots. http://h18006.www1.hp.com/products/storageworks/ms_iscsi/index.html
• Microsoft Cluster Server (MSCS) license included
  • NOTE: The BL460c SAN Gateway may only be clustered with servers also running Microsoft Windows Unified Data Storage Server 2003, Enterprise x64 Edition operating system (HP recommends like hardware as well). Microsoft Windows Unified Data Storage Server 2003, Enterprise x64 Edition can not be clustered with ProLiant Storage Servers based on 32-bit (Windows Storage Server 2003 R2 or older) operating systems
• Storage Manager for SANs (SMfS): Natively provides basic SAN management (such as device discovery, LUN creation, and storage allocation) for SAN gateway installations. Moreover, SMfS enables shared storage solutions and clustering.
• Unified Share and Storage Management Snap-in: With a consistent and familiar interface, simplifies management of shares and volumes by unifying SMB and NFS share provisioning, integrating share and storage provisioning, and providing an overview of storage and shares.
• Remote Administration Enhancements: Key new functionality enables Windows Storage Server to be used and managed in environments that are not predominantly Windows-based.
• 64-bit processing (compatible with 32-bit applications)
• Optimized for File Serving: Up to 20% faster file serving performance than a general-purpose Windows Server 2003 R2 installation on the same hardware.
