Introduction

The HP Insight Integration for CA Unicenter integrates HP hardware monitoring and event notification into the Unicenter enterprise.
This comprehensive, scalable solution builds upon the core elements of Insight Management to complement and extend Unicenter, and to maximize existing IT investments. Network environments that implement Unicenter as the preferred enterprise management platform can use the Insight Integration to help streamline administration and increase systems availability.
The Insight Integration works closely with native Unicenter services and components, including Explorer, WorldView, Event Console and Agent technology. This close working relationship helps IT administrators manage heterogeneous and complex environments through a condensed set of applications.
Pre-defined class definitions clearly identify and classify HP server, client and storage solutions in the Explorer and WorldView interfaces, and an extensive collection of Distributed State Machine (DSM) policies and message records display hardware system status through Unicenter Node View, and translated SNMP events in the Unicenter Event Console.
For advanced lifecycle management and remote administration of the HP hardware infrastructure, the Insight Integration includes embedded browser links from Unicenter to the web-enabled Insight Management Agents, Systems Insight Manager, Insight Manager 7, and the Remote Insight/Integrated Lights-Out.
