smallbizwindows3The HP StorageWorks Data Vault epitomizes the ideal for an install-and-forget SMB storage solution.

This product can grow as hard drives increase in capacity since HP did not artificially limit the expandability of the device. It is powerful, compact, and utilizes reliable components. The headless design also means that it can be placed wherever other NAS devices are stored, and would not require a drone to babysit it. The use of Windows Home Server as the operating system is brilliant. That OS, built on the innards of Windows Server 2003, is powerful, and as extensible as any other Microsoft-based operating system.

Moreover, the roadmap HP has for the Data Vault means that businesses can invest in this product confidently.
