Smart CIDHP ConvergedSystems1
Customer Intent Document (CID) Created by HP Pre-Sales and Solution Architects with input from customersto build custom HP Converged Systems. Has Servers, Storage, and Networking requirements, settings and configurationinformation. Currently maintained in Microsoft Excel sheets and exchanged over emails and overSharePoint.Challenges Scalability – Multiple versions for different configurations. Usability – Error prone, lack of validation, incomplete and duplicate entries. Flexibility – No easy way to extract information and configure the system. User Experience – Lacks common look and feel across different systems.
Smart CID Web Based Unified Experience - simplified, progressive and dynamic. User-friendly and Intuitive Interface – similar to other HP products like HP OneView. Built-in Validations – to ensure that information entered is complete and accurate. Built-in Default Values – built in default values for hostnames, IP addresses and passwords tomake the process more efficient. Configuration Files – faster togenerate and deploy. Centralized Information - single placeto store and retrieve information . Inline Help - progressively disclosesthe required information – guidingusers to provide the right data in theright field.
