The 1-TB system comes with a six-port SATA hardware RAID controller and dual Gigabit Ethernet NICs; however, one of the network ports is dedicated for use by the unit's ILO (Integrated Lights-Out) 2 feature. This "computer within a computer" lets you remotely monitor and manage key system functions, such as power, event logs and system status, using a browser, regardless of the OS's status. ILO 2 is a major plus for remote offices.
The NAS OS is WSS 2003, Workgroup Edition, making the ProLiant ML 310 a natural for integration into Windows environments. Snapshots are handled by the VSS (Volume Shadow Services) features built into Windows. Shared folders from multiple NAS systems can be published in a shared namespace by using Microsoft's DFS (Distributed File System) storage virtualization technology. Although the ProLiant can run any Windows software, HP supports only user-added applications that relate to its primary task as a storage server. The system's storage capacity can be expanded by up to 16.8 TB through the addition of an HP Smart Array 642 Controller card and external, Ultra-320SCSI, 14-drive MSA30 disk arrays.
