The HP ProLiant ML110 G5 Storage Server is a fast, easy, and affordable way to add tower-based file storage to your small or remote office network. The Microsoft Windows-powered operating system is pre-installed and internal storage is pre-configured, so you're up and serving files in minutes. It supports multiple file sharing protocols, so you can consolidate and make a single centralized platform to manage and protect, or you can create a scalable disk-based backup/replication target.

Once your solution is installed, you'll find that you spend less time and effort on file management and maintenance. You can manage and troubleshoot from almost anywhere with either remote desktop or optional Lights-Out 100c remote management. Since it's running Windows, it integrates seamlessly into your Active Directory and DFS environments, runs your favorite antivirus or backup software, and has a familiar management look and feel. And don't forget that you can use an ML110 G5 Storage Server as a print server, too.

All ML1105 G5 Storage Servers are built on industry standards and include features that protect and optimize your investment. The micro ATX tower platform delivers the flexibility you need with support for both SATA and SAS drives, and the operating system includes intelligent tools like Quotas, File Screening, Storage Reporting, and Replication. Select models support the optional Microsoft® iSCSI Software Target, so you can add block-based Exchange, SQL or other application storage capability to your network storage solution.

• Replaces the ML310 G4 Storage Server as the ProLiant Storage Server entry-level tower platform

• The fast and easy way to add file storage to your network: The Windows-powered operating system is pre-installed and user storage is pre-configured, so it's a quick, secure, and easy way to add storage to your small/remote office network. Go from out-of-the-box to file serving in minutes, not hours.
• A single centralized file server platform to manage and protect: Consolidate islands of direct-attached storage (DAS) or low-capacity network attached storage (NAS) devices to one easy-to-use Windows platform, or create a scalable disk-based backup or replication target.
• Multi-protocol file serving: You can deploy in wide range of heterogeneous file serving environments with support for SMB/CIFS, NFS, HTTP, FTP, WebDAV, AppleTalk, and NetWare protocols
• Microsoft® Windows-powered operating system pre-installed: It's Windows, so it integrates seamlessly into your Active Directory and DFS environments, runs your favorite antivirus or backup applications, and if you've used Microsoft Management Console (MMC) before, your learning curve is minimal because you're already familiar with the user interface.
• Easy-to-use storage management features: Make more efficient use of storage space using file de-duplicating Single-instance Storage (SIS) (except for 320GB SATA model) and enjoy the benefits of other storage-specific tools like Indexed Search, SharePoint® Services support, Quotas, File Screening, Storage Reporting, and Distributed File System (DFS) Replication.
• Remote manageability: You can manage and troubleshoot from almost anywhere at both the operating system level (with Remote Desktop or HTTPS) and at the hardware component level (using optional Lights-Out 100c remote management).
• HP ProLiant industry-standard hardware: Relax—your investment is protected because you're not locked into a proprietary platform. The small tower platform supports up to four SATA or SAS 3.5' internal hard drives.
• Print server support: Don't forget that the ML110 G5 Storage Server is a Windows print server too, offering consolidation benefits to your Windows print environment.
• Microsoft® iSCSI Software Target support: Upgrade your ProLiant Storage Server (except for 320GB SATA model) to host block-based application storage to further consolidate and lower hardware and administrative costs.
