HP servers on platforms are supported Microsoft Windows, Red Hat and SUSE Linux, VMware ESXi and Microsoft Hyper-V. HP Insight Control supports integration with software of HP and the management consoles of third-party producers, for example Microsoft System Center and VMware vCenter.
The program of HP Insight Control is purchased with separate licenses or as a part of a packet of HP servers of ProLiant and the BladeSystem body.
Features
- Support of HP servers of ProLiant Gen9.
- Support of HP of Integrated-Lights Out 4 (iLO 4) v2.20.
- Support of the managed VMware vSphere 5.5U3 node.
- Support of VMware vSphere 6.0 CMS.
- Support of Microsoft SQL Server 2014, Microsoft 2012 SP2.
Properties
Fast deployment and movement of servers Using HP Insight Control the operating system can be initialized physically on servers without software. This opportunity is suitable for updating of microprogram providing, BIOS and the HP Smart Array program.
Thin setup for initialization of HP servers of ProLiant Gen9 by installation without use of PXE.
Simple migration with Rapid Deployment Pack (RDP) on HP Insight Control Server Provisioning using the RDP Migration Utility programs or HP Migration Service.
Automation of workload at migration from the existing servers (HP ProLiant G8 and HP ProLiant G7) on the newest server technologies of HP ProLiant Gen9 or on virtual machines on nodes of VMware of ESXi and Microsoft Hyper-V.
Serviceability check and productivities of infrastructure
Fast identification and elimination of bottlenecks, work-related processors, memories, network adapters and the buses PCI, allows to improve performance of the operating server framework.
Remote control servers
HP Insight Control allows to control remote servers irrespective of whether the operating system is started. By means of HP Insight Control in the same session four administrators can work in parallel.
Automatic video of the sequence of failures and also the accomplishment of difficult settings allowing to eliminate fault.
It is executed automatic initialization of the server, remote transactions:
- inclusion,
- switching off
- reset of the server.
Effective optimization of use of the electric power
HP Insight Control helps to measure electricity consumption of each server or a server group. The optimization of energy consumption allowing to provide with energy more servers on the basis of the existing supply systems and indicators of heat capacity without prejudice to performance and failures in supply of electricity.
