The first intelligent backup solution designed for the networked individualHP believes that NAS should be flexible. As such, we offer a number of NAS solutions that can utilise HPs modular arrays, and even the XP Disk Arrays for enterprise NAS environments. This means that while end users may want to start by having arrays directly attached to applications servers, they can then utilise these same products for NAS as their requirements change. Or they can be used in a Storage Area Network (SAN), if their environment requires it. Because customers choose what is best for their environment now, and are able to change it as their needs evolve, HP solutions offer complete investment protection. Over time HP will further integrate NAS file services within SAN environments, so that users can have the best of both worlds - an overall storage pool utilising a SAN, with the provision of heterogeneous file services provided by NAS - all managed seamlessly.
