Storage capacity and multivendor storage management - on a pay-per-use basis

Balancing security needs with users availability. Maintaining consistent service levels. Delivering sufficient IT resources to adapt to ever-changing business needs. And making sure you are utilizing storage capacity optimally.

These are just some of the challenges you face as you manage your storage requirements - and all take more work, expertise, and tools than your IT organization may be able to support on its own. Ultimately, trying to do it all with limited resources often results in inconsistent service quality, budgeting problems, lower user productivity, and reduced speed to market for key revenue-producing initiatives.

HP Managed Storage Solution reduces risk and guesswork by delivering storage capabilities and technical expertise when and where you need it - at a predictable price and performance level. We help create a network of storage capacity for your business that allows new capacity to be easily integrated with existing capacity - without costly capital investments.

Choose from two managed storage solution offerings.

HP Managed Storage Solution is a unique combination of capacity-based storage services and remote management. It's available in two ways:

Multivendor storage management - Ideal for businesses looking for managed storage services for their heterogeneous storage environments, Multivendor Storage Management provides pay-per-use support for HP and other leading Storage Area Network (SAN) and Network Attached Storage (NAS) technologies. The service includes:

  • Assessment and design
  • 24x365 remote storage management
  • Online storage provisioning
  • Capacity management
  • Performance management and reporting
  • Real-time data views through a secure Web portal
  • Services priced on a gigabyte-per-month basis

Storage capacity package - The right choice for businesses interested in full remote storage management, plus increment and decrement capabilities on HP storage products - with one monthly pay-per-use bill for everything. In addition to all the services of Multivendor Storage Management, this service provides:

  • No single-point-of-failure SAN technology
  • HP StorageWorks, XP, and SAN storage
  • Just-in-time storage provisioning
  • Installation, configuration, and startup
  • 24x7 warranty and maintenance protection
  • Capacity and services priced on a gigabyte-per-month basis

The solution has everything you need to manage and support a multivendor, multiplatform storage environment - with a single point of contact for fast, expert service.
