C-Track
The C-Track remote support solution detects and reports events to the HP Support Service. C-Track
transmits heartbeats, SIMs, and configuration information for remote data collection and monitoring
purposes. C-Track also enables the HP Support Service to remotely diagnose issues and perform
maintenance (if the customer allows the remote maintenance). The C-Track solution offers Internet
connectivity only. If you choose the Internet-based remote support solution, additional infrastructure
and site preparation are required. Additional preparation may include server and router
requirements, which you and HP may be responsible for implementing.
Insight Remote Support
HP strongly recommends that you install HP Insight Remote Support software to complete the
installation or upgrade of your product and to enable enhanced delivery of your HP Warranty,
HP Care Pack Service or HP contractual support agreement. HP Insight Remote Support supplements
your monitoring, 24x7 to ensure maximum system availability by providing intelligent event
diagnosis, and automatic, secure submission of hardware event notifications to HP, which will
initiate a fast and accurate resolution, based on your product’s service level. Notifications may be
sent to your authorized HP Channel Partner for on-site service, if configured and available in your
country. The HP Insite Remote Support products available for XP7 Storage are described in “XP7
Storage remote support products” (page 75).
NOTE: HP Insight Remote Support Standard is not supported on XP and XP7 Storage.
