Sometimes it is rather difficult to find the page that you need on the HP site when performing a warranty lookup or Care Pack status inquiry.  I've included links to both the Care Pack Services and Warranty Status Check pages.

HP Server Product Selector

HP has also release a Server Product Selector tool which will assist an individual with selecting a HP ProLiant server that meets their needs.

You can base you selection on the following criteria:
  • Operating System
    • This option doesn't list VMware which is a glaring omission
  • Processor type
  • Type of server
    • BL (Blade)
    • DL (Density Optimized Rack Mount)
    • ML (Maximized for Internal Expansion)
  • Maximum internal storage
  • Maximum memory

HP Storage Selector

Once again I have recently discovered a little known HP tool that is designed to help prospective customers pick the appropriate storage area network for their environment.  Much like the HP ProCurve switch selector tool, an individual can select their requirements and the storage selector tool will refine the product offering based on those selections.

The HP Storage Selector tool provides an easy way to find any of the following products:
  • Disk storage systems
  • Tape and storage media
  • Storage Blades
  • NAS systems
  • Storage networking
  • Storage software
  • Information Management Software
