Overview

HP StorageWorks XP Performance Advisor Software identifies performance bottlenecks before they impact your business. It collects and displays performance data for HP StorageWorks XP Disk Arrays. It helps mitigate risk by providing performance alarm notification through e-mail, SNMP, or user-defined scripts and helps avoid impending outages due to unavailable or misallocated storage resources. Its report generation and scheduling capability improves IT processes and maintains array performance by immediately identifying storage bottlenecks.

XP Performance Advisor reduces complexity and accelerates resolution of problems by collecting information from multiple arrays across multiple sites, and allows you to drill down to the problem area. Its ability to collect up to 320 GB of historical data enables detailed trend analysis and makes it easier to analyze performance data at regular intervals. Its rich Command-Line User interface (CLUI) supports integration with third party software.
