Are you looking for a solution to maximize uptime in your datacenter, address SAN issues before they impact operations and simplify SAN management ?

HPE B-series Fabric Vision Software for HPE B-series Switches and Directors provides unprecedented visibility and insight across the storage network and helps maximize uptime and simplify SAN management. Offering innovative diagnostic, monitoring, and management capabilities, Fabric Vision Software helps administrators address problems before they impact operations, accelerate new application deployments, and dramatically reduce operational costs

The HPE StoreFront Analytics software provides customers using HPE 3PAR StoreServ/StoreVirtual storage with operational dashboards to gain deep insights and visibility into the health, risk and efficiency of the storage infrastructure’s performance and capacity capabilities.

HPE StoreFront Analytics integrates directly into VMware vRealize Operations Manager through an additional dashboard specific to HPE storage. This dashboard allows VMware vSphere administrators to quickly view storage capacity, performance metrics, health information and allows to easier troubleshoot scenarios that span across virtual and physical layers, which includes the HPE 3PAR StoreServ and HPE StoreVirtual storage layer.
By actively analyzing and providing alerts on the health of the virtual machines, datastores and storage, the VMware vSphere administrator's productivity increases, as does the ability to rapidly identify and troubleshoot potential problems and ensure consistent, predictable quality of service.

Do you need to exchange data between your HPE XP7 Storage systems and mainframes?

HPE XP7 Data Exchange Software gives you the ability to seamlessly exchange data between mainframe and open systems hosts. Store and manage mainframe and open systems data on a single XP7 Storage system. It provides management of data format and code conversions, and allows information sharing across computing platforms. HPE XP7 Data Exchange Software supports HP-UX, Windows®, Linux®, Oracle® Solaris, IBM AIX®, and mainframe operating systems.

Do you need to increase the performance between FICON® links and your networked data storage?

The HPE XP7 Compatible High Performance FICON Connectivity Software provides FICON for System z® or zHPF and is an enhancement of the FICON channel architecture. It delivers compatibility with standards such as Fibre Channel (FC) Physical and Signaling Standard (FC-FS), FC Switch Fabric and Switch Control Requirements (FC-SW), and FC Single-Byte-4 (FC-SB-4) standards. Enhancements have been made to the z/Architecture® and the FICON interface to deliver improvements for online transaction processing (OLTP). zHPF is implemented exclusively in System z10®. When XP7 Compatible High Performance FICON Connectivity Software is exploited by the FICON channel, the z/OS® Operating System, and the control unit; the FICON channel overhead will be reduced. Simplification of the protocol reduces the number of information units processed, resulting in more efficient use of the fiber link.

Are you dealing with error-prone and time consuming manual provisioning and management of storage? HPE Storage Software Development Kits simplifies automation of HPE 3PAR Storage management tasks including provisioning, monitoring, metrics reporting from configuration management tools and programming languages such as Python and Ruby. To have a public cloud like agility, automation of infrastructure tasks are a must. Manual provisioning and management of storage arrays can be complex, time consuming and error prone. The HPE Storage Software Development Kits provides developers and administrators with easy-to-use functions in native programming languages and significantly reduces the amount of coding required for automating simple and complex storage management tasks. Now storage management can be streamlined by reducing manual storage provisioning and monitoring and reducing human errors that can result from manual operations.

For business to move at the speed of cloud, infrastructure agility and consistency is key. Configuration management tools address rapidly changing infrastructure needs by providing a template for repeatable deployment thus preventing any environmental drifts and discrepancies. HPE Storage Toolkits for Configuration Management enables popular configuration management tools such as Chef, Puppet and Ansible to treat storage as a programmable resource, eliminates barrier between Developers and Operations by enabling self-service storage automation.. HPE Storage Toolkits for Configuration Management such as HPE 3PAR Cookbook for Chef or HPE Nimble playbook for Ansible provides blueprints to automate complex storage management tasks eliminating time consuming and error-prone manual tasks.

HPE Storage Integrations for Microsoft System Center provides monitoring of HPE Storage products using System Center Operations Manager (SCOM) and storage provisioning and management for select HPE Storage products with Hyper-V based virtual machines from System Center Virtual Machine Manager (SCVMM).
