HP Rapid Deployment Pack Rapid Deployment Pack is a server deployment solution that facilitates the installation, configuration, and deployment of high volumes of HP servers using either scripting or imaging technology. It can deploy Windows or Linux images to ProLiant or Integrity servers. Server configuration time is reduced dramatically, making it possible to scale server deployments to high volumes in rapid fashion. Rapid Deployment Pack includes the ProLiant Integration Module and Integrity Integration Module. These modules consist of software optimizations for HP servers, including HP scripting toolkits, configuration jobs for leading industry standard operating systems, and HP server support packs containing software drivers, management agents, and important documentation. The HP Rapid Deployment Pack is provided as part of the Insight Control Environment and Insight Control Environment for BladeSystem. Monitor Insight Control gives you a complete picture of the BladeSystem infrastructure from performance to power and everything in between. HP SIM sits at the heart of Insight Control, facilitating inventory, health monitoring, and fault management. The HP BladeSystem Integrated Manager gives a photorealistic view of racks and enclosures, showing all components of the BladeSystem infrastructure contained within, with information from applications such as HP Performance Management Pack (PMP) for CPU, memory, and network utilization or HP Insight Power Manager (IPM) for power utilization. To get more detail on the server information shown in the central management console of HP SIM, use one click to launch the System Management Homepage (SMH) for the individual server. HP Systems Insight Manager, Performance Management Pack, and Insight Power Manager are all provided as part of the Insight Control Environment and Insight Control Environment for BladeSystem.1 HP Systems Insight Manager HP SIM sits at the heart of Insight Control. It is a management platform architected as a central management server (CMS) managing the both physical server and storage devices as well as virtualized environments.
