HP StorageWorks EFS WAN Accelerator 3.0.8 release notes (AG424-96008, April 2009)

Port and Application Auto-Discovery
HP EFS WAN Accelerator Manager extends the new RiOS v3.0 support for auto discovering ports
and associated application by making these applications available as aggregated reports. Get a
performance snapshot of all applications across all your distributed sites.
Pass-Through Traffic Statistics.
HP EFS WAN Accelerator Manager provides network-wide visibility into per-port byte counts for TCP
traffic passed through by the HP EFS WAN Accelerator. View aggregated totals across locations or
a birds eye view of pass-through traffic per device.
NFS-Application Streamlining
HP EFS WAN Accelerator Manager enables you to configure acceleration for Network File Service
(NFS) operations over wide area networks (WANs). A variety of use cases ranging from copy
operations to opens and saves within CAD or CAM applications are accelerated by orders of
magnitude. NFS prefetching, read-aheads, and write pre-acknowledgements headline the NFS
optimizations.
Performance Statistics by QoS Class
Per QoS class traffic reporting, including bytes or packets sent versus bytes or packets dropped is
extended to the HP EFS WAN Accelerator Manager for global reports across distributed locations.
Global Traffic Summary
HP EFS WAN Accelerator Manager provides the ability to view a pie chart breakdown of byte count
usage of all applications across all locations. Gain visibility into how much of the pipe FTP is taking
versus HTTP.
Performance Report Emailing
HP EFS WAN Accelerator Manager provides an elegant mechanism for receiving performance reports
via a recurring, scheduled email. Want a quick summary report for that recurring Monday morning
management meeting? The HP EFS WAN Accelerator Manager v3.0 can be intuitively set up to email
out a number of aggregated performance reports on a scheduled basis.
QoS Rules Facility
The HP EFS WAN Accelerator Manager simplifies the configuration of the new QoS capability that
comes with RiOS v3.0 by providing the ability to configure and apply QoS rules centrally to hundreds
of HP EFS WAN Accelerators.
HP EFS WAN Accelerator Image Hosting for Central Updates
HP EFS WAN Accelerator Manager v3.0 adds the ability to store and host HP EFS WAN Accelerator
software images for quick and seamless upgrade operations to hundreds of HP EFS WAN Accelerators.
