Available Product	HP StorageWorks 400tThis 4-drive entry-level tower solution built on the ProLiant ML110 G5
Configurations	All-in-One Storage	platform provides shared storage expansion for application servers (iSCSI
	System (AiO400t)	Target), enhanced file serving for end-user clients (NAS), and comprehensive
		data protection features. The AiO400t is an affordable solution for small
		datacenter or branch office environments that need less than 1TB SATA or
		584GB SAS total raw capacity.
		Sizing Guidelines: For Exchange environments, the AiO400 can be
		used for smaller Storage Groups with less than 100 mailboxes when
		using the Exchange ESRP implementation guidelines. Out of the box
		implementations should only use the AiO400 for very few users or
		archival Storage Groups unless using SAS HDDs. While it is certified
		for VMWare ESX iSCSI connectivity, the AiO400 is not
		recommended in VMFS environments due highly random read/write
		performance characteristics of VMFS.
	HP StorageWorks 400rThis 4-drive entry-level rackable solution built on the ProLiant DL160 G5
	All-in-One Storage	hardware platform provides shared storage expansion for application servers
	System (AiO400r)	(iSCSI Target), enhanced file serving for end-user clients (NAS), and
		comprehensive data protection features. The AiO400r is an affordable
		solution for small datacenter or branch office environments that need less
		than 2TB SATA or 1.2TB SAS total raw capacity.
		Sizing Guidelines: For Exchange environments, the AiO400 can be
		used for smaller Storage Groups with less than 100 mailboxes when
		using the Exchange ESRP implementation guidelines. Out of the box
		implementations should only use the AiO400 for very few users or
		archival Storage Groups unless using SAS HDDs. While it is certified
		for VMWare ESX iSCSI connectivity, the AiO400 is not
		recommended in VMFS environments due highly random read/write
		performance characteristics of VMFS.
	HP StorageWorks 600	This mid-level tower/rack solution built on the ML350 G5 hardware platform
	All-in-One Storage	provides shared storage expansion for application servers (iSCSI SAN),
	System (AiO600)	enhanced file serving for end-user clients (NAS), and comprehensive data
		protection features. The AiO600 is an excellent solution for customers
		looking for increased capacity, scalability, and hardware redundancy. The
		AiO600 is available in both SATA and Serial Attached SCSI (SAS)
		configurations.
		Sizing Guidelines: For Exchange environments, AiO600 SATA
		configurations are appropriate for storage groups with less than 500
		mailboxes while AiO600 SAS configurations support up to 1,000
		mailboxes when using the Exchange ESRP implementation guidelines.
		Out of the box implementations for the AiO600 will support approx
		25% of these numbers. The AiO600 is certified with VMWare ESX for
		iSCSI connectivity; due to the highly random read/write performance
		characteristics of VMFS we recommend SAS HDDs and the AiO1200
		SAS as the best performance option for use with VMWare ESX and
		VMFS.
	HP StorageWorks 1200This high capacity and performance optimized solution built on the DL320s
	All-in-One Storage	hardware platform provides shared storage expansion for application servers
	System (AiO1200)	(iSCSI SAN), enhanced file serving for end-user clients (NAS), and
		comprehensive data protection features. The AiO1200 is an excellent
		solution for customers looking for increased performance and capacity from
		12 internal drives and a high performance RAID controller. The AiO1200 is
		available in both SATA and Serial Attached SCSI (SAS) configurations.
