system. The Service Essentials Remote Support Pack ships at no additional charge with ProLiant and Proliant server blades and is part of the Insight Control Environment and Insight Control Environment for BladeSystem. Vulnerability and Patch Management Pack Vulnerability and Patch Management Pack (VPM), offered exclusively through the Insight Control Enviroment suites, automates the detection of security vulnerabilities and provides actionable advice for problem resolution. VPM also facilitates automated patch deployment, selecting the appropriate operating system patches based on the results of security scans. VPM is useful in smaller IT environments where HP Server Automation has not been implemented. Optimize Insight Control optimizes the operation of the data center by enabling centralized management of virtual machines, power, and cooling. HP Insight Power Manager IPM is an integrated power monitoring and management application integrated with HP SIM that provides centralized control of server power consumption and thermal output at the data center level. IPM extends the capacity of data centers by allowing flexibility in the amount of power and cooling required for ProLiant servers. Incorporating Power Regulator for ProLiant3 technology, IPM quantifies the power savings achieved from usage of flexible policy management. HP Virtual Machine Mangement Pack Virtual Machine Management Pack (VMM) optimizes server utilization by providing centralized performance monitoring and control of VMware and Microsoft virtual machines. VMM shows physical host to virtual machine association and makes it easy to identify virtual machines (VM) or host servers reaching high central processing unit (CPU), memory, or disk utilization levels. VMM has highly flexible move capabilities allowing live moves4 and moves to different host resources. The backup, template, and alternate host capabilities enable restoration of VMs on any available host. VMM is the only out of the box solution available that can initiate VMware Distributed Resource Scheduler (DRS) to relocate VMs based on hardware predictive failure alerts. Both Insight Power Manager and HP Virtual Machine Management for HP BladeSystem are included as part of the Insight Control Environment and Insight Control Environment for BladeSystem.5 Integrate Because it is built on HP SIM, Insight Control provides management of an entire HP storage and server infrastructure through a single console. Integration solutions connect the information provided by Insight Control components with other tools used for application monitoring and IT service level management (ITSM). Enterprise Management Integration Solutions Insight Control facilitates the exchange of inventory information and events between HP SIM and a number of HP enterprise management products, such as HP Network Node Manager, HP Operations Center, and HP ServiceDesk. Additionally, integrations are available to allow access from CA Unicenter, Microsoft System Center, and Tivoli Enterprise Console to information and events from the ProLiant Agents and SMH, which are installed on each HP managed server. 3 For more information on Power Regulator Technology: http://h18013.www1.hp.com/products/servers/management/ilo/power-regulator.html 4 Requires VMWare VMotion 5 HP Performance Management Pack is offered exclusively through Insight Control Environment and Insight Control Environment for BladeSystem. 7
