The HP Automated Storage Manager Software is included with the X1800sb G2, and can be used when the
X1800sb G2 is paired with a D2200sb Storage Blade. This easy-to-use, integrated storage management
tool works from an application point-of-view and can help you orchestrate the many aspects of your
storage environment---even if you lack storage expertise. It's like having your own storage expert in the
box.

based storage traffic.
Disaster recovery tools work in concert with backup applications to preserve storage subsystem
settings in case they need restored after a system rebuild.
