The HP StorageWorks Command View Tape Library software saves you time and money by improving your backup reliability, and simplifying the setup, configuration, management, and troubleshooting of your enterprise tape libraries. HP builds intelligence and manageability into every HP E-series tape library through the interface manager, a processor that serves as the control center for HP StorageWorks Command View Tape Library software. The interface manager hosts library services that make the library self-aware and network-aware, able to monitor the whole environment and alert you to problems in the library or on the SAN before they threaten the security of your data. Interface controllers provide an extra layer of intelligence between the library and the SAN to handle access conflicts and shield the library from unrelated SAN events.
