EGM
EGMEGM
EGM Enhanced Group Management (EGM) is a FOS license that is included with all B-Series switches and
enables multi-switch operations. It helps automate operations across multiple switches to save time and
streamline repetitive operations, which are typically prone to error. EGM drives consistency across
fabrics, while minimizing the risk associated with potential downtime due to configuration mismatches.
EGM provides streamlined troubleshooting for more effective fabric monitoring and diagnosis.
HP SAN Network Advisor Professional, Professional Plus, and Enterprise enable EGM functionality.
Customers have EGM functionality enabled within the hardware product and need only to make the
decision around which management application is right for them.

Encryption
In-flight compression optimizes network performance within the data center and over long-distance links.
Data is compressed at the source and uncompressed at the destination. Performance varies by data type,
but generally achieve 2:1 compression with minimal impact on performance. Compression can be used
in conjunction with in-flight encryption.
In-flight encryption minimizes the risk of unauthorized access for traffic within the data center and over
long-distance links. It is switch-to-switch encryption, not device or data-at-rest encryption. Data is
encrypted at the source and decrypted at the destination. Encryption and decryption are performed in
hardware using the AES-GCM-256 algorithm, minimizing any impact on performance. Encryption can
be used in conjunction with in-flight compression. This is complementary to data-at-rest encryption
provided by the Encryption SAN Switch and the Encryption Blade for B-series SAN Directors.
