Figure 13. Relationship between Insight Control and Insight Dynamics Insight Control provides an integrated management solution for both physical and virtual servers. Insight Control can also integrate with Microsoft System Center and VMware vCenter Server environments if your IT environment has already standardized on those management platforms. For Linux-centric environments, HP also offers Insight Control for Linux. Insight Dynamics is optional advanced infrastructure management software that builds on Insight Control and Systems Insight Manager. It lets you instantly adjust to varying business demands. Insight Dynamics can help consolidate workloads, perform energy-aware capacity planning, and dynamically provision infrastructure, while achieving affordable high availability for applications. For more information, see www.hp.com/go/insightcontrol and www.hp.com/go/insightdynamics. HP Virtual Connect and Virtual Connect Flex-10 technology The BladeSystem c-Class architecture can reduce the complexities of switch management in a blade environment through Virtual Connect technology. Virtual Connect virtualizes the server connections to Ethernet or Fibre Channel networks so you can connect and pre-assign LAN and SAN connections only once. When each server blade is installed, you can quickly assign whatever LAN and SAN connections are needed for that server. There's no more need to wait until LAN and SAN administrators are available. 18
