Excellent tools

  • The ProLiant Cluster Starter Kit is a "How-to" Guide that shows you how to build a Fibre Channel Cluster.

Flexibility with a range of ProLiant servers

  • The ProLiant Cluster Starter Kit utilizes HP SmartStart, HP Insight Manager, and Cluster Monitor, SANWorks SecurePath, and MSCS software to enable rapid installation, configuration monitoring and management, as well as deployment of clustered environments throughout the enterprise.
  • HP SmartStart and HP Insight Manager are "cluster enabled," allowing easy installation and sophisticated cluster and systems management, either locally or from remote locations.

Data migration for seamless deployment

  • High availability server failover (local or remote) - user data and/or applications are protected and continue to be available to the user community in order to allow the user community to remain productive. This level of survivability assumes and requires that the remainder of the computing environment is functional - meaning that the users' workstations continue to have power and connectivity to the server resources and the network topology has not been significantly altered.
  • Offsite disaster recovery - corporate information is protected and continues to be available in the event that the computing environment is critically impacted. This level of survivability makes no assumptions and/or requirements for other surviving components.
  • Disk to disk back and restore - no Open Files - without agents, no CPU issues, no network bandwidth limits, no stability concerns, truly Centralized Backup with out implementing a SAN.
