Real-time capacity planning HP Insight Dynamics-VSE includes the industry's most advanced real-time capacity planning tools. It allows administrators to continuously analyze server capacity and power use. The software's Capacity Advisor collects and analyzes more than a thousand data points per server per day from virtual and physical resources. Then, using new Smart Solver technology developed by HP Labs, the Capacity Advisor identifies the best fit for existing workloads, which can reduce the number of physical servers needed. Unified control HP Insight Dynamics-VSE allows administrators to control physical and virtual resources in exactly the same way. It extends the capabilities of the HP SIM infrastructure management so that administrators can view all available resources on a single screen (Figure 21). Insight Dynamics-VSE is designed to manage leading virtualization technologies from VMware, Citrix, and Microsoft. (VMware is supported today. Microsoft and Citrix support is planned.) Because Insight Dynamics-VSE is one integrated design, it helps simplify and standardize organizational processes without changing them.
