HP StorageWorks 1200 All-in-One Storage System
»HP StorageWorks 1200 All-in-One Storage System
Imagine having a single solution that could provide shared storage for application servers, enhanced file serving for end-user clients, and software to protect the data on the device; these are the key functions of HP All-in-One Storage and together, they allow businesses lower costs, increase efficiencies, and respond to rapid data growth. HP StorageWorks All-in-One Storage Systems are radically simple, affordable, and reliable 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 integrated systems are designed for IT generalists with no storage expertise and deliver everything you need to lower the cost and complexity of rapidly growing data storage environments.

What’s New
· The AiO1200 extends the HP All-in-One Storage family upward by providing a high-capacity and higher performance 12-drive model for mid-size customers looking for entry-level storage consolidation.
· The All-in-One Storage Manager (ASM) now includes setup and migration wizard support for Microsoft Exchange 2007. Move from direct attached to network storage in less than 10 mouse clicks. (Web based update) Can now provision iSCSI storage for both 32 and 64-bit Windows Server hosts. (Web based update)
· Leverage the cost efficiencies of SATA with the speed and reliability of SAS with the integration of mixed drive support within the All-in-One Storage Manager. Setup and migration wizards will now discover both SATA or SAS drives in the same environment and will allow administrators the flexibility to choose the drive type that meets the needs of individual applications. (Web based update)

ENHANCED
»HP StorageWorks Continuous Information Capture Solution
part of the HP Information Lifecycle Management (ILM) portfolio, optimizes information roll-back for both databases and applications. A local solution, CIC continuously mirrors changes, offering a timeline represented by the widest range of available roll-back points. Important application or business events may be tracked in the timeline to help improve optimal roll-back point identification. CIC also helps shorten overall roll-back time. Virtual snapshots are created quickly - a process not slowed by a need to layer incremental backups or replay archive logs. And, with virtual snapshots created away from application servers, CIC enables off-host processing tasks, such as backup or testing, without impacting production systems.

What’s New
· Leverages HP DL585 G2 as the new CIC recovery server platform Offers ability to add incremental protected (application) servers, with support for up to six active protected servers per single CIC recovery server configuration

ENHANCED
» HP StorageWorks Reference Information Manager for Databases
accelerates data growth for enterprises with large database applications that is designed to improve application performance and meet compliance without excessive infrastructure upgrades. Application transparency is retained by providing online, real-time user access to a combined view of production and archived data through the native application and reporting interface. By reducing the size of the production database, RIM for DB can boost application performance, improving application stability, and reducing application environment costs by millions of dollars annually. Online archiving is an indispensable key to managing the application data lifecycle while ensuring regulatory compliance.

What’s New
· Within the 5.1 release, products within the RIM for Databases portfolio now have new names: RIM for DB Live Archive (formerly known as RIM for DB Relocater), RIM for DB Open Archive (formerly known as RIM for DB Encapsulated Archive), RIM for DB Ready Subset (formerly known as RIM for DB Subcopy), RIM for DB Archive Monitor (formerly known as RIM for DB Analyzer) · Performance and scalability enhancements

» HP StorageWorks IP Distance Gateway
provides SAN over WAN connectivity for protecting and replicating data between HP EVA systems. By connecting islands of SANs over WANs, the IP Distance Gateway enables continuous access replication, both asynchronous and synchronous, SAN device sharing, data migration and other long distance data services. At the core of providing long distance data services is the ability to copy, move and replicate data, both locally and over long distances, however, SANs have limited distance capabilities (10km) and IT managers need to share, protect and move data over greater distances than 10km. An alternative to Routers and switches, the IP Distance Gateway uses the FCIP (Fibre Channel Internet Protocol) standard to extend SAN connectivity.
NEW
» Cisco MDS 9124 Fabric Switch
is a 4Gbps Fibre Channel switch which supports up to 24 ports that customers can use to deploy high-performance storage area networks in their enterprise.

In addition, advanced traffic management features such as PortChannels, virtual output queuing, and Fabric Shortest Path First (FSPF) simplify deployment while optimizing the fabric. Management is simplified with a broad range of integrated tools that range from a consistent Cisco MDS 9000 family Command Line Interface (CLI) to Cisco Fabric Manager and an industry-standard API that includes support for SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) and SMI-S (Storage Management Initiative Specification) for integration with third-party and user-developed tools. Also, switch management is integrated with HP Storage Essentials creating an integrated experience for storage administrators. The Cisco MDS 9124 Fabric Switch combines value and performance in a standalone SAN switch, enabling increased productivity and substantial cost savings benefiting organizations with limited dedicated IT staff.
