The HP ProLiant DL320s Storage Server is a high-density Windows-powered file and print solution that enables customers with small and medium office environments to consolidate multiple direct-attached storage (DAS) installations and management interfaces to a single centralized networked storage device. This solution can also be a way to add high capacity to your network very quickly, or it can be an effective disk-based backup or replication target. It supports multiple file sharing protocols and Windows storage-specific tools that make file share maintenance both easy and powerful. And with optional Microsoft iSCSI Software Target, you can upgrade to host block-based storage for Exchange, SQL or other applications.This network storage solution not only aids in consolidation, storage expansion, and cost reduction, but also helps you spend less time deploying and managing file and print services. It's quick to install and it's Windows through-and-through - if you know how to use a Microsoft Management Console (MMC)-based user interface, you already know how to manage it. And the unique Rapid Start-up Wizard streamlines installation even more. Finally, remote management capability at both the system level and at the hardware component level means you can manage and troubleshoot from anywhere.The DL320s Storage Server leverages industry-standard components to protect and optimize your hardware investment: it packs twelve disk drives, memory, and I/O into only 2U of rack space; it supports SAS or SATA drives so you can choose your desired level of performance, reliability, and affordability; and it integrates seamlessly into HP ProLiant or StorageWorks environments.ProLiant Storage Servers are enhanced Windows-powered file and print server solutions for small or medium business, branch office, workgroup, or data center IT environments.
