HP OpenView Storage Management Appliance overview
The HP OpenView Storage Management Appliance is a centralized, appliance-based monitoring and
management solution for the storage area network (SAN). Connected directly to the network, it performs
management functions outside the data path and without involving host computers, allowing data transfers
to proceed independently between computers and storage systems.
This solution optimizes SAN availability and performance while streamlining manageability by enabling
policy-based automation of repetitive storage management tasks. It provides an intuitive, web-based interface
and storage management aggregation point, enabling you to organize, configure, visualize, monitor, and
provision storage from anywhere, anytime. The Storage Management Appliance includes HSG Element
Manager and provides support for HP OpenView Storage Operations Manager. This combined solution
delivers easy-to-use tools for centralized management of Enterprise Virtual Array and Enterprise Modular
Array (EMA)/Modular Array (MA) arrays on the SAN, as well as the foundation for comprehensive enterprise
storage resource management across multivendor platforms in the network storage infrastructure.
The Storage Management Appliance also supports additional value-added storage management applications
from HP, as well as popular virus protection, backup, system management, and UPS software products. The
Storage Management Appliance provides the following features:
• Unobtrusive, centralized appliance for storage management
The HP OpenView Storage Management Appliance provides an unobtrusive, centralized point for
managing and monitoring the SAN and other networked storage systems. Designed to connect directly
to the SAN, the Storage Management Appliance performs management functions without involving
host computers.
• SAN availability and performance optimization
Strategically located out of the SAN data path, the Storage Management Appliance enables data
transfers to proceed independently between computers and storage systems. The Storage Management
Appliance optimizes SAN availability and performance while streamlining SAN manageability.
• Web-based interface for storage management
HP OpenView Storage Management Appliance software provides a web-based aggregation and entry
point for centralized storage management. This intuitive interface enables you to organize, visualize,
configure, and monitor storage from a single navigation point on the SAN. The Storage Management
