Storage Device Management Software

Do you need to simplify your storage environment to enable growth and reduce complexity?

Then HPE XP7 Intelligent Storage Manager is the application you need. HPE XP7 Intelligent Storage Manager is a configuration management tool that reduces the complexity of managing HPE XP storage systems. HPE XP7 Intelligent Storage Manager’s intuitive Graphical User Interface enables a short learning curve, and gives users at-a-glance status of XP storage resources. Built-in configuration intelligence provides best-practice recommendations to help users simplify deployment, management, and maintenance. Quickly and easily create parity groups, pools, and volumes, then set replication policies for up to 50 XP storage systems. Intelligent Storage Manager reduces complexity and the effort required to manage storage resources, allowing for more time to focus on strategic revenue generating initiatives.

Would you like to visualize, manage, and analyze SAN performance and overall operational health intelligently?
As organizations race to modernize the data center to support innovation and digital transformation, storage networks are evolving faster to accommodate the new applications. Administrators, therefore, need ways to visualize and manage SAN health and performance efficiently. HPE SANnav Management Software is the next-gen SAN management application suite for HPE B-series Fibre Channel SAN environments. It consists of SANnav Management Portal Software and SANnav Global View Software. SANnav Management Portal builds the foundation for an autonomous SAN with a modernized and simple browser-based UI to monitor and streamline common workflows, such as configuration, zoning, deployment, troubleshooting, and reporting. SANnav Global View enables visualization of health, performance, and inventory of multiple SANnav Management Portal instances using a simple yet intelligent dashboard.

Containers enable portability, agility and accelerated application delivery. Stateful and mission-critical containerized applications require reliable data storage with high performance and availability. The integration of HPE 3PAR with Docker, Kubernetes, Red Hat OpenShift, Mesos and SuSE CaaS enables self-service dynamic storage provisioning, QoS, multi-tenancy, snapshots, clones, replication of data volumes on a highly available storage platform.The integration also enables migrating legacy data volumes into containers paving way for modernizing traditional workloads with containers. The IT Ops teams can deliver multi-tenant Container-as-a-Service (CaaS) offerings for tenants to on-board workloads with clear separation of data enabled by Virtual domains. The integration is made possible with HPE 3PAR Volume Plug-in for Docker, HPE FlexVolume driver and dynamic provisioner for Kubernetes. HPE 3PAR is Docker certified and a Red Hat OpenShift Primed partner.

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 XP for Compatible Extended Remote Copy (XRC) Software provides disaster protection and data migration capability for data stored on an HPE XP Disk Array by implementing IBM mainframe compatible asynchronous remote replication. XRC provides the same functionality as IBM Extended Remote Copy (now called IBM TotalStorage z/OS Global Mirror), and is compatible with System Data Mover (SDM) mainframe software. When data is written to the local XP disk array, XRC temporarily stores a timestamped copy of it in a sidefile. SDM in one of the mainframe hosts asynchronously reads the sidefile data from the local XP disk array and then writes the data to the remote disk array.
XRC can be combined with other XP disk array replication products for additional availability. When combined with Hitachi TrueCopy for Mainframe, XRC supports 3 Data Center disaster recovery solutions.

The HPE Secure Manager for Tape Libraries software advanced feature option provides secure, device-level access, virtual library partitions, and configuration flexibility designed for SAN environments. As a component of HPE Command View for Tape Libraries (CV-TL), it provides centralized, web-based management for HPE ESL9000 and ESL E-Series enterprise class tape libraries, increases reliability and robustness of tape libraries in the SAN, and integrates with leading enterprise management applications.
Secure Manager for Tape Libraries allows system administrators to design reliability and security into backup SAN environments, providing backup security against extraneous SAN events and protecting host servers with the benefit of simplified SAN management. Virtual library partitions provide security between separated SAN environments.

The HPE StoreEasy 1X60 Recovery Software Media Kit contains a System Recovery USB key that is used to re-install the factory operating system image. Booting the system from the System Recovery media will restore the operating system image and logical drive to the factory default state. This enables recovery of the system if all other means to boot the system fail.

HPE Library and Tape Tools is a free, downloadable, and robust diagnostic tool for all Hewlett Packard Enterprise tape storage products. Provided for untrained administrators as well as experienced professionals, it is ideal for customers who want to verify their installation, facilitate product reliability, perform their own diagnostics, and achieve faster resolution of tape device issues. HPE Library and Tape Tools performs firmware upgrades, verification of device operation, failure analysis, and a range of utility functions. Performance tools assist in troubleshooting bottlenecks and system configuration checks warn of common host issues. It also provides seamless integration with Hewlett Packard Enterprise support by generating and e-mailing test results and support tickets. Our support desk will require the use of this product to troubleshoot most device issues, so it is recommended that a support ticket is pulled and the device assessment test is run before calling.
