lowers power use by allowing you to right-size the power supply for the server configuration. There are three common slot AC power supplies: 460 watt, 750 watt and 1200 watt. The AC power supplies work with input voltages from 100 to 240 volts, making them usable worldwide. These power supplies provide up to 92% efficiency, which meets Climate Savers Gold qualifications. The new HP Power Advisor calculator removes the guesswork in selecting the right power supply for each server's configuration. Infrastructure management technologies HP Insight Control suite HP Insight Control suite (ICE) offers a set of capabilities that simplify server management through the entire lifecycle of ProLiant 300 series and above G6 servers and ProLiant G6 server blades. ICE, which is based on HP Systems Insight Manager, provides comprehensive system health, remote control, vulnerability scanning, patch management, flexible deployment, virtual machine management, and power management. ICE components deliver lifecycle management functions through a single installer and a simplified licensing mechanism. Within ICE, the Virtual Machine Management capability provides central management and control of VMware ESX Server, Microsoft Windows 2008 Server Hyper-V, and Citrix XenServer virtualized environments. Features include: • showing physical host to virtual machine associations • easy identification of virtual machines (VMs) or host servers reaching high CPU, memory, or disk utilization levels • highly flexible move capabilities • moves to dissimilar host resources • back up, template, and alternate host capabilities that enable restoration of VMs on any available host HP Insight Control suite for Linux HP Insight Control suite for Linux (ICE-LX) is an integrated solution to manage multi-system Linux environments. This integrated suite provides productivity for Linux administrators in both enterprise and cluster environments. HP ICE-LX integrates a robust feature set of the best of open source and HP technologies for discovery, imaging and provisioning, deployment, firmware updates, monitoring, remote access, virtualization, and general lifecycle management. Open source software, such as Nagios® and XenServer™, are fully integrated and auto-configured for immediate user productivity. Full lifecycle management is complemented by multi-system scaling, thermal and power management, and direct-to-hardware control. Onboard Administrator HP Onboard Administrator, which is included at no additional charge with every ProLiant G6 server, is like having a programmable administrator inside each server. On HP ProLiant 100 series G6 servers, ProLiant Onboard Administrator Powered by iLO100 works hand-in-hand with HP Systems Insight Manager, RBSU, ORCA, and the embedded Baseboard Management Controller (BMC) to provide entry-level remote management and control. On ProLiant 300 series G6 servers and ProLiant G6 server blades, Onboard Administrator Powered by iLO works hand-in-hand with HP Systems Insight Manager, Insight Control, and Insight Dynamics, helping customers unlock the value of the ProLiant platform and delivering the highest possible quality of IT service to the business. It is accessible through a web browser to give you control over four aspects of each server: • Simplified server setup - Consistently configure server boot order, network configuration, RAID settings, and other server parameters. Use these control surfaces with your own internally developed deployment scripts or with Insight Control suite, which can help decrease deployment times by as much as 65% compared to manual deployment methods. 7
