HPE Smart SAN for HPE 3PAR makes SAN configuration and management simple and reduces the probability of errors through automation. It is an application embedded in SAN components that enables the 3PAR to orchestrate configuration, settings and policies in a SAN. HPE Smart SAN for 3PAR through its Target Driven Peer Zoning (TDPZ) feature enables customers to automate peer zoning, resulting in the creation of fewer zones and enables configuration of zones in minutes and not in hours as was the case traditionally. Through automation, it reduces the probability of errors and potential downtime. Without HPE Smart SAN, an administrator needs to pre-configure zones on the switch before configuring hosts and VLUNs on the HPE 3PAR StoreServ. With HPE Smart SAN, the administrator can configure and control zoning directly from the 3PAR CLI. HPE Smart SAN also supports standards based device registrations and diagnostics data collection for better configuration visibility and diagnostic purposes.
