Windows 2008 Storage server on AiO or DL380

[#1]

Hello All,
I was looking forward into AiO and DL 380 based storage server solution and wonder if a version with Windows 2008 Storage Server is currently offered or is planned under way in future. What about existing hardware running Windows 2003 Storage Server? Will there be an upgrade path offered?
Best Regards,
FK

Any word on the AIO Windows 2008 Storage Server front?

Sorry, Guess I should've expounded. I meant if you already have an existing Storageworks AIO system, is there going to be a new Service Release that includes 2008 Storage Server. The current release from last year was still 2003.

what do you mean ?
upgrade from W2K3 to W2K8 under service release ?

Yes, can we upgrade our current All-in-One Storage Systems to 2008 Windows Storage Server and still have it "officially supported" by HP? I know it's certainly possible, but if the service release isn't compatible with 2008, the AIO loses a lot of its functionality.

AiO has been discountinued and replaced by x1000 and x3000 series of storage servers running windows 2008 Storage Server standard and enterprise respectively.
