Infrastructure management solutions - overview

Management Software from HP

Highly effective IT organizations must be able to accommodate changing requirements on time and on budget without disrupting the business. To operate in this manner, IT organizations require ongoing, real-time access to accurate information and need to be able to consistently automate recurring processes and procedures.

Core monitoring and control functions are embedded in HP server and blade products to help customers with tight budgets and small IT staffs:

• Proactively monitor performance and service levels to identify and remediate problems before they impact end users.
• Automate repetitive processes such as patching and root cause correlation analysis.
• Reduce downtown resulting from human error.

The HP Insight Control management portfolio integrates the monitoring, control, and diagnostic tools embedded in their out-of-the box ProLiant servers and BladeSystem configurations with add-on software products that add layers of sophisticated tools for more complex management requirements.

HP Insight Control Portfolio

The HP Insight Control Foundation helps small and medium-sized businesses get the most value out of their server and blade investments. These management products are bundled and shipped with all HP server and blade products at no extra charge and provide sufficient monitoring and control capabilities for smaller organizations with:

• Centralized management foundation that supports basic server discovery, inventory, monitoring, and alerting capabilities.
• Wizard-style installation, diagnostic, and remediation routines that streamline and simplify day-to-day operations.
• Simple, intuitive interface that allows staff to access multiple management functions using a common console or browser interface.
