Outstanding scalability

While some NAS appliances have a fixed throughput, the HP StorageWorks Enterprise File Services
Clustered Gateway allows you to add incremental throughput capacity in a linear fashion by adding
additional nodes. Get exactly the amount of throughput capacity and performance that you need when
needed.

High availability

A fully symmetrical file system means that all nodes have the same view of the file system. If a node is
removed from the cluster for maintenance or fails, the failover to another node happens in as little as 5
seconds - faster than other cluster products.

Lower initial cost

Built on industry standard components means a lower initial cost and adding additional capacity and
performance can be done quickly, simply and at a lower cost. There is no need to purchase an expensive
proprietary appliance in anticipation of future needs.

Consolidation

Consolidating data into a cluster reduces administration costs - manages a single cluster not individual
servers or multiple NAS devices.

Reduced Backup Costs

With symmetrical file system architecture all nodes have access to the same file system. By designating
one or more node as the backup node(s), the entire file system can be backed up from this node(s).
Backup licenses can be purchased only for those nodes actively being used for backup.

Easy Cluster Expansion

Single cluster nodes include: HP ProLiant server, Linux or Windows operating system, HP Clustered File
System with CIFS or NFS file serving option and Cluster Volume Manager option software. The HP
ProLiant server has high availability features such as redundant power supplies and fans, HBA and NIC
cards already configured. This means that nodes can be ordered and quickly integrated into an existing
cluster.

Flexible configurations

Software only options allow a choice of hardware platforms and operating systems allowing re-use of
existing hardware and/or operating system licenses.

Initial cluster configuration

Initial cluster configuration The initial cluster configuration represents HP's best practices for hardware, software and support. The

configuration consists of two cluster nodes and installation and start up service. The recommended rack,
SAN switch, Ethernet switch and cables can be ordered at the same and the system will be fully racked
(as appropriate) at the factory for even quicker startup. The installation and startup service includes setup
and on-site customer training on typical administrative tasks.
