Overview |
|
|
| HP Storage Essentials SRM Performance Pack Software is a plug-in software to the award winning Storage Essentials SRM Software Suite. The software’s unified and powerful interface helps IT Staff quickly visualize the big performance picture of their entire HP EVA and SAN from the business application down to the spindle. With a single unified web-based interface, you can monitor the performance of applications, host servers, HBAs, fabric switches and HP EVA, eliminating the reliance on multiple tools to do the job. Integration with the HP EVA family as a complete solution simplifies integration and speeds deployment. Besides the ability to monitor end-to-end performance statistics, you can analyze the performance data in several ways, real-time so you can instantly graph and visualize what is being impacted, collect historical data with customizable charts so over time you see what has changed, and trend extrapolation to aid in forecasting what performance will look like if trends continue. An end-to-end EVA and SAN view with analysis tool speeds problem identification and accelerate root cause analysis to quickly eliminate performance bottlenecks. To meet specific business and IT needs for performance reports, built in report templates are available on various metrics to help you make informed decisions. The Storage Essentials SRM Software Suite is built on industry standards for quick deployment with the agility to react to change. HP SRM Performance Pack software is included with Performance Edition 150 and can monitor 1 HP EVA. This plug in software module is available, for SRM Enterprise Edition Software, to meet larger HP EVA SAN deployments. HP Storage Essentials SRM Suite helps IT staff unify the management of their server and storage infrastructure via an intuitive web based interface. |

Features and Benefits |
|
|
- Unified performance view of the entire EVA and SAN environment: A powerful interface helps IT Staff quickly visualize the big performance picture of HP EVA and SAN from the application down to the spindle. With a single web-based interface, you can monitor the performance of applications, host servers, HBAs, switches and HP EVA, eliminating the reliance on multiple tools to do the job.
- Simplifies end-to-end troubleshooting for quick problem identification: : Today’s IT Staff cannot waist time learning about multiple interfaces and different performance monitoring tools to determine how storage is performing. Non-integrated tools reduce staff efficiency while HP SRM Performance Pack Software speeds your ability to troubleshoot bottlenecks across a SAN and reduce finger pointing.
- Integrates with HP EVA environment: Integration with the HP EVA family as a complete solution including EVA hardware and software and Storage Essentials SRM Software Suite simplifies deployment with less guesswork that everything works together.
- Real-time performance data gathering: Easily display graphs that simultaneously chart the performance statistics of each resource you selected resulting in immediate visualization of where the application-storage path performance is being impacted.
- Analyze historical trends: Historical performance charts with customizable stats aid the ability to take hourly, weekly or monthly snapshots enable you to trend performance overtime to quickly see what has changed and take the necessary steps and action before performance bottlenecks get serious.
- Trend extrapolation helps forecast future performance trends: For proactive actions, you can plot the trend period you need to forecast resulting in a complete picture on how performance will look like if the trend continues.
- Performance reports keep you informed: To meet specific business and IT needs for performance reports, built in report templates are available on various metrics to help you make informed decisions.
- Standards based architecture and interfaces: Designed on the Storage Management Initiative Specification (SMI-S), industry standard for storage network management based on the Common Information Model (CIM) and Web-Based Enterprise Management (WBEM). Enables support for multi-vendor storage infrastructures and ensuring investment protection.
- Scales from mid-market to enterprise: SRM Performance Pack software is included with Performance Edition Software for mid-market SAN needs and can monitor 1 HP EVAs. For larger HP EVA deployment, a this plug-in software module is available with HP SRM Enterprise Edition Software.
- Unified infrastructure and advanced Storage Resource Management: Storage Essentials SRM Software integrates with System Insight Manager to unify server and storage management, improving efficiency via shared services like single sign on, security, and asset management. Easy access to more SRM software plug-ins is available to accommodate growth, reduce cost and improve efficiencies.
