| Adaptive Networking |
Adaptive Networking (AN) is a family of technologies for the 8/40 SAN Switch which allow flexible control of traffic movement within the fabric which deliver application aware management of fabric resources. AN applications may be used with multiple protocols and multiple classes of service.
The 8/40 SAN Switch knows where an application is and what its assigned fabric resources are. As an application moves or its network resources become degraded the 8/40 SAN Switch can adjust the fabric based on preset polices to ensure the highest level SLAs. |

| HP StorageWorks Power Pack+ Bundle |
The Power Pack+ set of tools monitors the network's health and performance. It includes Fabric Watch, Extended Fabric, ISL Trunking, Adaptive Networking, Advance Performance Monitoring, and Fabric Manager. |
Optional |
| Fabric Watch |
Fabric Watch enables each switch to monitor the SAN for potential faults and automatically alert network managers to problems before they become failures. Fabric Watch tracks a variety of SAN fabric elements, events, and counters. Monitoring fabric-wide events, ports, SFPs, and environmental parameters permits early fault detection and isolation as well as performance measurement. Each switch in the SAN needs its own Fabric Watch license. |
Optional |
| B-series Data Center Fabric Manager Enterprise Software |
HP StorageWorks Data Center Fabric Manager Enterprise Software builds upon the recognized capabilities of the previous EFCM and Fabric Manager products and extends it from roots in SAN management to the data center fabric supporting enhanced scalability, multi-protocol fabrics (Fibre Channel, iSCSI, FCIP) and policy-based service management including adaptive networking with Quality of Service features.
