Unified Infrastructure Management by HP

Storage Management

You may be surprised at how many companies resort to using a marker and eraser as infrastructure management tools when their management software doesn't quite make the mark on its own. That's because many of today's management tools are too narrowly focused, forcing you to cram your IT toolbox with separate tools to monitor and control storage and servers.

What's needed is a way to integrate server and storage management into one tool that simplifies management across the entire IT environment.

That's where HP Systems Insight Manager (SIM) comes in and the HP Essentials suite of plug-ins — the first solution in the industry to unify management for servers and storage. It provides the basics for unified management.

As a key Essentials plug-in, the award-winning HP Storage Essentials Suite integrates with SIM to deliver advanced storage management capabilities, including SAN management, storage resource management, provisioning, back up reporting and application infrastructure monitoring.

What results is a tightly integrated solution for unified infrastructure management that bridges the islands of server, storage and IT service management.
