HP unveils its easy-to-use storage systems that drive down cost and complexity for small and medium businesses grappling with the exponential growth of data. The new HP StorageWorks All-in-One Storage Systems deliver simple, application-centric storage management, reliable data protection and affordable data storage. Using the systems, SMBs with limited or no storage expertise are able to store, share, manage, back up and protect their rapidly growing application and file data in a flexible network storage environment.

More than 60 percent of SMBs have not deployed networked storage, and the HP All-in-One Storage Systems address what industry analyst firm IDC predicts will be a $5.7 billion market opportunity by 2010. The HP AiO Storage Systems handle all storage tasks and are accessed via an easy-to-use graphical interface, saving administrators time and providing newfound levels of control. The systems are specifically designed for managing storage in Microsoft environments, including point-and-click tools for working with Microsoft Exchange and SQL Server. In fewer than 10 clicks, for example, customers can fully set up shared storage for an Exchange mailstore.

A full version of HP StorageWorks Data Protector Express Software is integrated into HP All-in-One Storage Systems to enable data back up and recovery from tape, virtual tape, optical or external disk on the network. The HP AiO Storage Systems also run Windows Storage Server 2003 R2, which enables replication from one system to another and rapid recovery in the event of a disaster.
