Server migration/consolidation with the HP NAS 2000s |

Whether you are migrating from UNIX, NetWare, or even upgrading from Windows NT 4.0, HP StorageWorks NAS solutions such as the NAS 2000s can assist in the migration or even replacement of servers in any environment.

File sharing and print serving across different operating systems |
|
|
HP StorageWorks NAS products can be used as single file storage for CIFS, NFS, AppleTalk, NCP (Netware), HTTP, and FTP, making them the right solution for heterogeneous file serving. This multi-protocol support also helps when migrating from one platform to another. Print serving completes the capabilities of HP NAS in these environments.
| Note: Details of the file-serving protocols listed above can be found in the Q&A section of the "Easy as NAS" PDF linked at right. |

Remote replication and backup consolidation with the HP NAS 1200s |

You can easily use the HP StorageWorks NAS 1200s to deploy file serving at remote sites. Added features such as storage mirroring can replicate data from your head office and vice versa, make it easy to manage and back up data from a central location.

NAS/SAN fusion for Microsoft Exchange with the HP NAS 4000s |
|
|
The fusion of NAS and SAN combines the best of both technologies. It enhances NAS with SAN scalability and management; and it enhances SANs with optimized file access for end-users. This unique fusion eliminates storage islands and reduces overall management complexity and costs. This example shows an exchange server (green line) sharing the same storage source as its clients storing their Outlook PST files (blue line), or using it as client data share or personal drive (yellow line).
