Enhancements and new features in 3.0

The HP EFS WAN Accelerator Manager v3.0 contains major updates to the existing v2.1 platform.

The key improvements are in the area of global reporting, visibility, and central policy configuration.

The key features include:

Trending to One Year

The trending interval for performance reports is increased from 30 days to one year.

Period Zooming

In addition to the existing static trending intervals, HP EFS WAN Accelerator Manager v3.0 provides

the ability to zoom into a specific time period and retrieve a performance report. Trying to troubleshoot

an application issue that occurred three days ago during lunchtime? Enter that time frame and a

performance report is quickly generated.
