HP StorageWorks X3800 G2 Network Storage Gateway: BV871A

Overview
You made the decision to invest in a storage array; but now youve found that you still have file and application servers that arent connected. Youre still spending time managing islands of storage and your array isnt meeting its full potential. Wouldnt it be nice to complete the consolidation to truly create one unified storage pool to expand and protect?

HP StorageWorks X3000 G2 Network Storage Systems boost the value of your array or SAN by adding Windows-powered IP-based gateway services to it. Youll spend less time and effort on maintenance and deliver a better return-on-investment for your array/SAN when you consolidate to a single; unified storage pool that can serve files to your clients and blocks to your servers via multiple protocols (FC/iSCSI or SAS/iSCSI). Industry-standards protect your investment by providing compatibility with your network and applications; and a Microsoft Cluster Server (MSCS) license is included to provide high availability and reduce downtime.
