QuickSpecs HP ProLiant SB460c SAN Gateway Storage Server Overview Maximize efficiency of your existing SAN infrastructure by extending the benefits of shared storage to application servers and end user clients. The HP ProLiant SB460c SAN Gateway Storage Server is a ready-to-deploy NAS/SAN gateway, providing consolidated file-serving access as well as cost-saving iSCSI connectivity within the BladeSystem enclosure. Cost effective flexibility Cost-effectively leverage your existing Fibre Channel SAN for file services or iSCSI services with a value-priced gateway for the HP BladeSystem c-Class, combining file and print services in addition to iSCSI connectivity on a single NAS/SAN gateway platform. Use the SB460c as a NAS gateway to translate file data into blocks, consolidating file-serving access to SAN or MSA shared storage The BL460c SAN Gateway includes Microsoft® iSCSI Software Target, allowing application servers to use less expensive iSCSI over an IP-based network to connect to an existing FC infrastructure. Used as a Windows print server, the integrated print management console allows multiple printers to be managed from a single interface. Time saving pre-installation and fast deployment Microsoft Windows Unified Data Storage Server (WUDSS) 2003 is pre-installed and user storage is pre-configured, so it's easy to add file serving and iSCSI services to your Fibre Channel SAN. The HP Rapid Start-up Wizard further simplifies and accelerates new device deployment by walking you through basic system settings step-by-step. Get file serving and iSCSI connectivity up and running in minutes, not hours. Intelligent storage management Microsoft WUDSS is a dedicated file and print serving operating system that offers a full-featured, integrated management interface, Microsoft iSCSI Software Target, Microsoft Cluster Server license, and enhanced remote administration support. Make more efficient use of storage space using the file de-duplicating Single-instance Storage (SIS) feature and enjoy the benefits of other storage- specific tools like Index-based search, SharePoint® Services support, Quotas, File Screening, Storage Reporting, and Distributed File System (DFS) Replication. HP has enhanced the Microsoft Management Console (MMC), centralizing HP storage management tools within the familiar MMC console.
