Have your storage requirements rapidly increased? Do you need a flexible and powerful way to manage and control this growth?

HP StorageWorks X1800sb Network Storage Blade is a flexible storage server solution for BladeSystem environments. Combine the X1800sb with the SB40c Storage Blade to enable file serving and iSCSI shared storage inside the BladeSystem enclosure.

The flexibility of the X1800sb extends to external storage as well. The X1800sb can also be used as a low cost SAN gateway to provide consolidated file-serving access to FC, SAS, or iSCSI SANs.

Flexibly connect to internal or external storage

• Pair the X1800sb Network Storage Blade with an SB40c Storage Blade to provide file serving (NAS) and shared application storage (iSCSI SAN) inside the enclosure.


Simple storage management

• Create, migrate, manage, and protect file shares (NAS) and application storage (iSCSI Target) without the need for storage expertise. Automated ‘best practice’ logic setup storage without your needing to know industry-established best practices. HP ASM is like having a storage expert in the box.


Ready to deploy
