The latest offering:

NEW
»HP StorageWorks D2D Backup Systems
provides reliable data protection for up to four servers in a single, self-managing device. Your daily backups become fully automatic, requiring less manual handling and reducing the risks of human error and hardware problems. Performance is better too because this one device can back up four servers simultaneously. This disk-based solution lets you quickly restore lost or corrupted files. Consolidating your backups simplifies your life – not only are there fewer devices to manage, but the browser-based interface lets you manage your backups from anywhere. For small businesses looking for a better way to protect their data, the HP D2D Backup System delivers disk-based performance at less than the cost of an autoloader.
NEW
»HP StorageWorks Enterprise Virtual Array File Services
is an integrated application (block) and file storage solution. It can serve both block and file data concurrently with high availability and scalable performance. Mid-range and enterprise customers can use the EVA File Services to consolidate their individual silos of storage to gain flexibility, reduce IT costs and complexity as compared to traditionally architected storage solutions.
NEW
» HP ProLiant DL585 G2 Storage Server
is a powerful ready to deploy network attached storage (NAS) gateway solution that provides high performance multi-protocol file and print serving for both enterprise and workgroups SAN environments. The DL585 G2 Storage Server is ideal for customers with limited IT resources who require quick, simple, rapidly deployable, flexible storage with remote manageability. The DL585 G2 Storage Server is a NAS/SAN fusion solution can help administrators to centralize block and file storage, while at the same time lowering equipment acquisition costs and preserving the value of NAS storage investments.
NEW
» Cisco MDS 9124e Fabric Switch for HP c-Class BladeSystem
delivers a 4Gbps embedded Fibre Channel switch for HP BladeSystem c-Class customers deploying storage area networks in their enterprise. The integrated design frees up rack space, reduces components, and utilizes shared power and cooling within the enclosure. A hot-pluggable design, non-disruptive software upgrades and the ability to automatically restart a failed process, enhances availability. Support for VSAN and advanced traffic management features optimize the fabric. A broad range of tools simplifies management creating a unique and tightly integrated experience.

» HP Data Protector Software
automates high performance backup and recovery, from disk or tape, over unlimited distances, to enable 24x7 business continuity that provides seamless integration with HP storage hardware and management solutions. While delivering innovation and performance at a much lower cost than competitive solutions, Data Protector Software remains flexible and scalable. As an integral component of the fast-growing HP StorageWorks software portfolio, it offers the unique advantage of being able to source hardware, software, and award winning service offerings from a single, trusted source.

What’s New
· Data encryption using AES 256-bit for protecting sensitive information on tape and disk, enabling customers to comply with industry and governmental regulations. Provides seamless integration into Data Protector Software, offering transparent restore of encrypted data. Key management is simple to use, secure, and flexible.
· Unique, industry-first virtual full backup reduces the time and resources needed to perform full backup using “pointers” rather than duplicating data – improving tape utilization and providing heterogeneous data protection.
· Synthetic full backup eliminates the need to run regular full backups by consolidating incremental backups. Ideal solution for a distributed environment, minimizing the traffic burden on the network.

» HP StorageWorks Command View EVA Software
is a comprehensive software suite designed to simplify array provisioning and management of all HP StorageWorks Enterprise Virtual Array (EVA). It provides a powerfully simple storage management experience when compared to managing traditional arrays. It automates and aggregates storage management to reduce complexity and increase productivity. Provisioning capacity is simple, and you can dynamically expand LUNs, and add drives online with the agility to quickly meet changing business needs without downtime. For mission critical applications you can take advantage of proactive remote services using the HP Instant Support Enterprise Edition and HP Solutions Center support to enable 24x7 uptime.

What’s New
· Installation and startup is no longer part of the LTU. Command View installation and startup is a separate PN and will be automatically quoted on every EVA order. If Command View installation is not required on a particular order, it can be removed from the quote.
· Improved security to the user, by utilizing the underlying operating system security. Command View EVA Software now supports two levels of access: read/write and read only. In addition all user actions and events that change system state are logged.
· Replication enhancement to provide MirrorClone feature with Delta Resync and Instant Restore.

» HP ProLiant DL320s Storage Server
is a high-density NAS solution that enables SMB customers to consolidate multiple direct-attached storage (DAS) installations and management interfaces to a single centralized Windows-based file and print solution. That means lower total cost of storage ownership while maintaining support for multiple file sharing protocols and Windows storage-specific tools. Our NAS solution also helps you spend less time and effort on deployment and management. It comes with Microsoft® Windows Storage Server 2003 Release 2 Operating System pre-installed, and user storage is pre-configured. It’s quick to install and it's Windows through-and-through--if you know how to use an MMC-based user interface, you already know how to manage a ProLiant Storage Server.
