| Delivering enhanced security through change management control
As SANs become more commonplace and move out of the data center, security is a mounting concern. Because of the increasing number of entry points for data sharing, administrators need to carefully regulate user access to keep business-critical data safe.
HP StorageWorks Secure Fabric OS is a complete solution for securing SAN infrastructures. It helps you tailor SAN fabric security so that only authorized users can take management actions on the fabric and only authorized servers, storage, or switches can be added. However, defining and implementing these security policies can be a complex and time-consuming undertaking.
With HP Installation and Startup for HP StorageWorks Secure Fabric OS, you can turn to our storage security professionals for essential planning and design assistance, plus expert implementation.

HP Services' skilled professionals work closely with you to design security policies that provide enhanced change management control for your SAN. These policies address such issues as who can make changes to the environment, from which access points changes can be made, and which devices can participate in the SAN.
Based on these policies, a trained service delivery specialist installs and configures your Secure Fabric OS software. Configuration activities include setting up the fabric configuration server, management access controls, device connection controls, and switch connection controls.
