support. The technology staff carefully considered 
both NetApp and EMC, but eventually eliminated 
them due to high cost and improper sizing. 
Ultimately, Ariel selected two HP StorageWorks 
1200r All-in-One (AiO1200r) Storage Systems, 
which are based on the HP ProLiant storage server 
and operate under the Microsoft Windows Storage 
Server operating system. The AiO1200r provides 
Ariel with shared and scalable iSCSI storage for any 
application, as well as built-in data protection.
Altynikov, working through HP partner, One1, met 
with HP and Microsoft storage experts at HP’s offices 
in Ra’anana, Israel. “It was nice to have actual 
storage experts available to answer our questions,” 
Altynikov notes. “The HP AiO system offered 
everything we were seeking and fit within our budget. 
The HP solution was 30 percent cheaper than NetApp 
– and about 15 percent less than the EMC solution.” 
The Ariel IT staff installed the HP AiO systems on their 
own. “It was easy,” Altynikov emphasizes. “It took me 
about a week in total. For anyone who has set up a 
Windows server before, it would be very easy. The 
GUI is simple.”  
The AiO systems are equipped with high-
performance Serial Attached SCSI drives for the 
reliable storage of frequently accessed data. Ariel 
also installed supplemental storage in the form of 
an HP StorageWorks 60 Modular Smart Array 
(MSA60) equipped with less costly Serial ATA disks 
for less intensive storage applications. The MSA60 
is attached directly to the AiO system and managed 
through the same AiO Storage Manager interface, 
which simplifies the creation, migration, growth and 
protection of data stores. 
HP AiO benefits community with savings, efficiency 
and security
By consolidating its storage from three separate 
storage servers to a single, centrally managed HP 
AiO environment, Ariel has achieved all of its initial 
storage goals and much more. One HP AiO1200r 
is located in the city’s main computing center and 
the second AiO system is based in the backup data 
center. The systems are equipped with HP Storage 
Mirroring Software, which provides asynchronous 
data replication between the sites. 
“We spend about 30 percent less time managing 
storage then we did before,” Altynikov notes. “We 
replicate our critical data to our backup site about 
one kilometer away, which gives us a very high level 
of disaster-recovery resilience – and eliminates any 
backup window.” Ariel’s IT group also backs up data 
off-line to an HP StorageWorks Ultrium tape drive and 
send tapes off site for additional security. 
“We spend about 30 percent less time managing 
storage then we did before. We replicate our critical 
data to our backup site about one kilometer away, 
which gives us a very high level of disaster-recovery 
resilience – and eliminates any backup window.”
