Deploy and migrate servers in a quick and reliable manner

Quick, simple deployment with consistency
  • Use a fast, single drag-and-drop solution tool to completely automate almost everything from hardware configuration through OS and application deployment. Produce reliable and consistent configurations across multiple servers and even multiple sites.

Easy, accurate migration of servers

  • Automate migration of workloads from existing servers to the latest HP ProLiant server technologies or to virtual machines on VMware ESX, Microsoft HyperV and Citrix XenServer hosts.

Firmware updates 

  • Automate update of firmware and OS components together as part of a single task/application.

Template-based virtual machine deployment

  • Facilitate easy deployment of virtual machines by offering a template function, including all relevant virtual machine disk information needed to create and register a new virtual machine.

Proactively monitor health of your infrastructure with one simple, integrated interface

Comprehensive monitoring
  • Monitor system health and performance through HP SIM, including “phone home” and warranty and service contract reporting functions.

Resolve problems quickly

  • Quickly pinpoint and resolve bottlenecks to get the most out of your existing server infrastructure with proactive performance management. 

Prevent virtual machine failures

  • Take predictive failure actions and move virtual machines before hardware fails in VMware environments. 

Easy to implement

  • HP Services help you get up and running quickly so you can get the most out of Insight Control. 

Control from anywhere to realize reduced travel budgets and improved system recovery times

Troubleshoot and collaborate from any location
  • Take control of remote servers from any location whether the OS is running or offline. Up to four administrators can share a single session.

Capture and replay video

  • Automatically capture video footage of failure sequences as well as complex configuration operations. 

Deploy servers remotely

  • Perform unattended server deployment with remote deployment and remote operations such as switching the server on and off or rebooting. 

Manage virtual machines

  • Unified management of physical and virtual infrastructure: Associate VMware, Microsoft and Citrix virtual machines with host servers and deploy, monitor, control, and move virtualized assets. 

Optimize power confidently up to triple the capacity of your datacenter

Measure power usage
  • Measure power usage for groups of servers – so you know how many servers can be deployed per rack.

Regulate power usage

  • Reduce the cost of operating servers.

Reclaim trapped capacity 

  • Up to triple the capacity of your existing data center with Dynamic Power Capping, which allows you to safely cap power usage to fit more servers within your existing power envelope, without putting the electrical infrastructure at risk.

Reduce cost and risks 

  • Data Center Power Control is a new feature within Insight Control power management that ensures power and cooling delivery to critical workloads even in times of infrastructure failure.  In addition, customers can easily drop power usage during peak power times to help them lower their energy bill.

Manage rack & power planning

  • Plan a view of an entire data center showing entire electrical load of  heterogeneous data. This allows you to identify areas where you are overloaded and where there is available capacity (manual topology).

Link IT and power facilities

Intelligent Power Discovery, the industry’s first energy-aware network between IT and facilities

  • Associate servers to power circuits and improve power planning with precision that is calibrated to real-time power demands, not estimates.
  • Show available capacity to easily identify where to deploy new servers, and identify electrical and thermal overloads so you know which servers are at risk.
  • Visualize data center thermals to find hotspots and identify at-risk services.
  • Find outlets that are providing power but are not correctly configured and identify a disconnect between actual and manual/imported data.
