Overview of Storage Advisor

Hitachi Storage Advisor is a unified software management tool that reduces
the complexity of managing storage systems by simplifying the setup,
management, and maintenance of storage resources.
Storage Advisor reduces infrastructure management complexities and
enables a new simplified approach to managing storage infrastructures. It
provides intuitive graphical user interfaces and recommended configuration
practices to streamline system configurations and storage management
operations. You can leverage Storage Advisor to easily provision new storage
capacity for business applications without requiring in-depth knowledge of
the underlying infrastructure resource details. It provides centralized
management while reducing the number of steps to configure, optimize, and
deploy new infrastructure resources.
Some of the key Storage Advisor capabilities include:
• Simplified user experience for managing infrastructure resources. Visual
aids enable easy viewing and interpretation of key management
information, such as used and available capacity, and guide features to
help quickly determine appropriate next steps for a given management
task.
• Recommended system configurations to speed initial storage system setup
and accelerate new infrastructure resource deployments.
• Integrated configuration workflows with Hitachi recommended practices to
streamline storage provisioning and data protection tasks.
• Common, centralized management for supported storage systems.
