HP Insight Control Environment Suites HP Insight Control Environment and Insight Control Environment for BladeSystem are integrated suites of software that simplify the management of HP infrastructures. The HP Insight Control Environment suites are licensing options for HP infrastructure management software delivered on the Insight Control Management DVD. HP Insight Control Environment provides comprehensive management for ProLiant ML/DL customers, while HP Insight Control Environment for BladeSystem provides additional functionality for HP BladeSystem environments. Using an integrated, wizard-based installer, Insight Control Environment suites install and configure HP Systems Insight Manager (HP SIM) and HP ProLiant Essentials management software rapidly and consistently. Once installed, Insight Control Environment suites deliver enhanced infrastructure stability by improving control over IT assets, increasing responsiveness to business needs through flexible deployment and optimization of compute resources, and providing tangible savings through improved IT staff efficiency. The software installed by Insight Control Environment suites delivers core management functionality for HP ProLiant server and HP BladeSystem lifecycles, including: • Rapid server deployment • Health and performance monitoring • Comprehensive remote control • Vulnerability scanning and patch management • Power and thermal measurement, reporting, capping, and regulation • Integrated management of virtual and physical infrastructure • Third-party device management For more information about Insight Control Environment suites, see the HP website (http://www.hp.com/go/ice). HP Insight Control Linux Edition HP Insight Control Linux Edition is an all-in-one software package that provides Linux-based management and deployment capabilities for the HP BladeSystem and its c-Class and p-Class ProLiant server blades. Built on Linux, the software includes an easy-to-use interface customized for blades and optimized for Linux users. HP Insight Control Linux Edition enables operating system deployment with both standard installation and image-based technologies. For more information about HP Insight Control Linux Edition, see the HP website (http://www.hp.com/go/icle). Redundant ROM support The server enables you to upgrade or configure the ROM safely with redundant ROM support. The server has a 4-MB ROM that acts as two, separate 2-MB ROMs. In the standard implementation, one side of the ROM contains the current ROM program version, while the other side of the ROM contains a backup version.
