A closer look at Just Right IT products and services
HP ProLiant servers
Large businesses rely on servers to share
resources among their far-flung operations,
and for more than 20 years HP ProLiant
servers have been a server of choice.
Now you can power your own business
with that same HP reliability. The HP
ProLiant servers that we’ve created just for
smaller businesses provide a single, safe
location for your employees to share files,
documents, applications, even software.
HP ProLiant MicroServer 1P
The HP ProLiant MicroServer 1P takes the
complexity out of selecting and implementing
a server for businesses with one to ten
computers. For businesses with limited
IT support, this single-processor server is
easy to use and configure. As you look for
greater server functionality, expandable
tower servers like the HP ProLiant ML310e
Gen8 1P Base Model and HP ProLiant ML350e
Gen8 1P Performance Model servers are
ideal for small businesses in need of low-risk
networking, filing, and printing and shared
Internet access for up to 24 employees.
HP 1810 v2 Web-managed switch
If your business is already running servers,
but requires even more power and efficiency
for up to 49 employees, HP ProLiant DL380e
Gen8 1P Performance Model and HP ProLiant
DL380p Gen8 2P High Performance Model
servers enable you to significantly improve
performance and consolidate your servers.
Expanding businesses with 50 or more
employees that are considering additional
sites can opt for blade servers that support
virtualization. An HP BladeSystem c3000
Enclosure is ideal for supporting remote sites
that need up to eight server blades, such
as the HP BL460c Gen8 1P Model. Remote
management options give IT administrators
the flexibility to control server hardware from
their desktop or mobile device. Remotely
deploy, manage, and monitor your servers
with HP iLO Essentials, exclusively offered on
the HP ProLiant Gen8 e-Series servers; or with
HP iLO Advanced integrated with HP Insight
Control to support all HP ProLiant servers.

HP networking solutions
Reliable, secure network connectivity keeps
employees productive, customers satisfied,
and business humming. Networking solutions
from HP provide that reliable security and more.
High-speed connectivity gives employees fast
access to network and information resources
so they can collaborate, complete tasks,
and respond to customers more quickly. You
don’t need an IT staff to deploy affordable HP
switches. Their plug-and-play simplicity makes
for fast and easy setup right out of the box.
The HP 1810 switches are an ideal entry-level
switch for small businesses. With wire-speed
performance and a simple web interface for
management, you can focus on running a
business, not a network. The HP 1910 switches
provide advanced features for growing small
businesses in an easy-to-manage solution,
including full wire speed for exceptional
performance, fiber connectivity, QoS traffic
prioritization for a better voice and video
experience, and a host of security features.
The HP 2910 switches are cost-effective,
scalable solutions for customers looking to
create efficiencies and drive return on their
investment from a high-performance network.
This switch series delivers scalable and energyefficient connectivity. For expanding businesses
ready to establish a bladed environment, the
HP 6120 G/XG Blade Switch features a Layer 2
blade switch for the HP BladeSystem c-Class

HP storage solutions
Even small businesses have big storage needs.
The right storage solution should support
new applications, keep data safe, and make
it all easier to manage. The Just Right IT
selection of HP direct-attach and networked
storage solutions simplify storage with easy
installation and built-in features such as
snapshots and data encryption, management
wizards and plug-and-play scalability. You
get all the storage capacity and protection a
small business needs without the stress of
managing a more costly and complex system.
The HP RDX320 External Backup System
delivers an affordable, simple, and reliable
method for small businesses to protect
their critical data. This backup technology
is available in a range of models. Expand
your native storage capacity with the HP
RDX 1000 DL Server Backup Module, and
the complementary HP RDX Continuous
Data Protection Software automatically
manages the entire backup process.
HP server options
As your business develops, HP Industry
Standard Server options are designed to help
you respond to changing conditions when you
require more storage capacity, demand greater
efficiency in power consumption, or need to
manage space, cooling, and system access for
your IT infrastructure.
HP offers hard drives that range from entry
to midline to enterprise. Choose from drives
that provide high performance when you need
to host high transaction-based applications.
For extreme operation environments, HP
features drives that combine reliability with
lower power and faster reads than traditional
rotating drives.
Select from HP power supplies that support a
wide range of server and storage platforms.
Options include the HP Common Slot Platinum
Plus Power Supply, which delivers 94 percent
power efficiency.
Growing businesses can simplify file and
application storage with HP StoreEasy 1430
Storage (8 TB total capacity). For a server or
a small network, HP Data Protector backup
and recovery software delivers robust
protection for your data, systems, and
applications without requiring an IT expert.
The HP D2200sb Storage Blade provides
direct attached storage for businesses
adopting the BladeSystem enclosure. Use
it with HP StoreVirtual VSA Software x2
to create a shared storage environment
inside the HP BladeSystem enclosure.
