Software Suite
Most current shipping Smart Array products share a common set of configuration, management and
diagnostic tools, including HP Smart Storage Administrator and HP Systems Insight Manager. This
software consistency of tools reduces the cost of training for each successive generation of product and
takes much of the guesswork out of troubleshooting field problems. These tools lower the total cost of
ownership by reducing training and technical expertise necessary to install and maintain HP server
storage.
