Meeting HP’s aggressive development schedule, Visimation produced the intelligent symbols HP needed in a very short time frame. Visimation created display behaviors for the shapes to represent these various conditions. For example, a suggested purchased component like a SCSI HBA could be mounted inside a user-supplied server. The Visio symbols differentiate between user-supplied and user-purchased components as some of the newly purchased devices are mounted within a user-supplied device. part number and description, number of drives, backup strategies, etc.).Ī StorageWorks solution consists of user-supplied items like servers and externally mounted disk arrays, along with “sizer selected” components that the customer is suggested to buy. Anticipating future needs, Visimation linked the shapes to HP’s sizing tools system so that the Visio logical diagrams automatically generate sizing and configuration data (i.e. This HP solution started with a simple set of drag-and-drop symbols used to assemble diagrams quickly. Visimation developed a set of Visio shapes for Hewlett-Packard that assist sales engineers in illustrating custom storage system configurations complete with customer specific data backup requirements.
