Includes bundled license for:

• Adaptive Networking
• ISL Trunking
• Advanced Performance Monitoring
• Fabric Watch
• Extended Fabric
• Server Application Optimization (SAO)

Server Application Optimization (SAO) license improves overall application performance for physical servers and virtual machines. SAO, when deployed with B-Series Fibre Channel HBAs, extends B-Series Adaptive Networking from the B-series SAN fabric to the server infrastructure. This delivers application-level, fine-grain Quality of Service (QoS) management to the HBAs and related server applications.

Solution Requirements:

• SAO license must be installed on the edge (server connected) switch
• Adaptive Networking (AN) license must be installed on the edge (server connected) switch
• SAO requires B-series HBA installed in the server

HP StorageWorks Data Center Fabric Manager Professional is a server based management application available at no-charge and comes with B-series SAN Switches and includes the following features:

• Allows management of a single Fabric OS (FOS) fabric (up to a 1,000 B-Series switch ports) at a time
• Performs group switch management beyond the scope of Web Tools
• Does not offer management of the DC SAN Backbone Director or FICON

It is targeted for SMB customers that use FOS based SAN fabrics and require a management solution for smaller SANs based on a single fabric.

SMB customers that initially start off with Data Center Fabric Manager Professional and have a small SAN environment may over time feel the need for an enterprise-class product (Data Center Fabric Manager Enterprise) as their environments start to grow in size and complexity, and as they start to uptake more enterprise-class functionality (such as Fibre Channel Routing, FCIP, etc.). A non-disruptive upgrade path is available from Data Center Fabric Manager Professional to Data Center Fabric Manager Enterprise.

Your HP storage product includes comprehensive support and software updates to enhance the performance and availability of your software. Experienced Response Center engineers provide trustworthy advice on issues such as software features and use, problem diagnosis and resolution, and software defect identification.

Software support benefits include:

• Improved productivity of system managers and operators
• Improved system performance and reduced downtime due to software defects
• Expedited problem resolution through expert-level technical resources
• Software and documentation updates
• Electronic access to essential product and support information

For increased uptime, productivity and ROI -HP Care Pack packaged services for Storage

These days, you need to get the most out of your storage investment-you can't afford not to. When you buy HP storage products and solutions, it's also a good time to think about what levels of service and support you may need. To help take the worry out of deploying, designing, maintaining, and managing your environment, we've designed a portfolio of service options that are as: flexible, reliable and scalable as your storage. Unlike storage-only vendors, we take a holistic approach to your entire environment, bridging storage, servers, blades, software and network infrastructures with our HP Care Pack packaged services for Storage.

Protect your business beyond the warranty
When it comes to robustness and reliability, standard warranties on today's computing equipment have matured just as the technologies have matured. Good news on some fronts-but also a source of potential problems and subsequent consequences that come from depending on standard warranties alone. Standard warranty protects against product defects and some causes of downtime- but not the business. By using a standard approach to warranty uplifts, such as HP Care Pack Services, you can reduce downtime risks and be more certain of operational consistency for both mission-critical and standard business computing. Simply put, HP Care Pack Services normalize the warranty of combined products - helping you proactively guard against unplanned downtime.

Extending warranties with HP Care Pack Services

For cost-effective upgrading or extending your standard warranty, HP Care Pack Services offer a suite of standard reactive hardware and software support services that are sold separately, or combined as with our Support Plus and Support Plus 24 services. The portfolio also provides a combination of proactive and reactive services, such as Proactive 24 Service and Critical Service. In addition, with HP Proactive Select we offer an innovative approach to service delivery that gives you the flexibility to acquire the specific proactive services you need today, then add services as your needs evolve. HP Proactive Select offers a broad set of technical or per-event type service options - including server, storage, and network, SAN device, and software, environment, installation and education services. Services that you can mix and match depending on your specific requirements, from preliminary planning and equipment delivery to installation, configuration, integration, and testing, through every level of ongoing support. Our HP Care Pack packaged services for Storage assures help when you need it most. And for many products, post-warranty HP Care Pack Services are available when your original warranty has expired.

The findings from this process will be compared to HP best practices and industry standards as defined by IT Service Management (ITSM) disciplines. The results of the evaluation will be quickly and efficiently processed into information you can leverage. This information, in the form of a comprehensive HP SAN Assessment report, will be summarized by HP or one of our authorized business partners with recommendations that are intended to improve availability levels and ongoing management of your storage and SAN environment.
