» HP StorageWorks Enterprise File Services Clustered
Gateway is a mid-range NAS file server gateway that can be
configured into a cluster of EFS Clustered Gateway nodes. This clustering capability allows you to scale your file serving
performance in a near linear fashion as nodes are added to an existing cluster. In the event of a node failure, all file
serving is failed-over to the remaining nodes within the cluster with full data and cache read/write coherency.
The EFS Clustered Gateway is a bundle consisting of a ProLiant Storage Server and the HP Clustered File System
software. The EFS Clustered Gateway architecture is fully symmetrical meaning all nodes in the cluster see the same
entire file system which means there are no hot-spots or performance bottlenecks. This solution has been tested and is
being used in a wide variety of customer environments. The solution is built with industry standard components and not
proprietary hardware and software so you can leverage your existing SAN or iSCSI infrastructure.
What’s New
· 16TB file system on the Windows platform
· Support on multiple hardware platforms with software only option
· EVA Snapshots
· Shadow Copy w/EVA
· FS Quotas - Enforceable and advisory quotas

environments with separate file, print, email, and database servers, or environments using proprietary technologies, this
approach delivers single-platform manageability, easy scalability, and centralized backup. It provides investment
protection by enabling low-cost storage consolidation using industry-standard hardware and software on existing
Ethernet infrastructure.
