HP OpenView Storage Area Manager software simplifies and automates the management of your storage resources and infrastructure. Storage Area Manager has a modular building block architecture consisting of five functional modules: Storage Node Manager, Storage Builder, Storage Optimizer, Storage Accountant, and Storage Allocater. From its central console, it enables you to selectively monitor, manage, optimize, and plan storage service availability, performance, usage, cost, and growth. Storage Area Manager also enables management and planning for capacity related to Oracle and Microsoft Exchange applications.
This helps increase administrator efficiency and reduces the cost of managed storage. Storage Area Manager helps you define, monitor, and measure storage service levels enabling the creation of storage utility. It enables management and control of storage and applications to support the Adaptive Enterprise. Its integration with third-party reporting tools and Enterprise management tools helps deliver an integrated IT service. Storage Area Manager support for Storage Management Initiative-Specifications (SMI-S) based systems protects investment while reducing complexity and increasing freedom of choice in a heterogeneous environment.
HP OpenView Storage Area Manager is available through HP Systems Insight Manager (HP SIM) from the Tools & Links tab on the System Page. Refer to System Page - Tools & Links Tab for information on accessing the System Page.
