WHY CHOOSE THIS PRODUCT?

• Over-500TB licensing provides a suitable procurement tier for high-capacity mainframe storage estates.
• Smart Manager brings workload-based data placement and mainframe volume administration into one suite.
• Policy-driven migration helps place frequently accessed data on appropriate storage tiers while moving less-active data to suitable lower tiers.
• Real-time tiering can reduce the monitoring cycle to seconds and sub-seconds, helping respond faster to sudden application usage changes.
• Automated tier movement minimizes repetitive manual intervention when workload conditions change.
• External-tier capability allows supported lower-cost external storage to be incorporated for infrequently accessed data.
• XP7-native integration makes the suite appropriate for organizations already operating HPE XP7 storage infrastructure.
• Used-capacity licensing helps procurement teams select the appropriate license according to the storage estate's actual used capacity.
