Use Insight Control to deploy migrate and virtualize servers
You have recently purchased 80 new ProLiant servers.
- On 25 of these new ProLiant servers you plan to deploy latest operating systems and new business applications. You will use Insight Control server deployment feature to deploy new OS and new business application in minutes to get the servers for production faster. You can use Insight Control remote management to track the progress of deployment on the new server
- You intend to replace 25 old x86 servers with 25 new, faster ProLiant servers for better performance. You also intend to retain the data (operating system, application & configurations etc ) from the existing server on the newer servers. You will use Insight Control server migration P2P feature to automatically migrate the data from the existing/old servers to the new ProLiant servers. You can use Insight Control remote management to track the status of migration to the new server
- You are also planning to consolidate your data center and intend to virtualize 90 of your old/existing physical servers onto remaining 30 new ProLiant servers for reduced power and space utilization and you have zeroed in on VMware ESX servers & Microsoft Hyper-V virtualization platforms. You can use Insight Control server deployment to deploy VMware ESX & Microsoft Hyper-V platforms on the new ProLiant servers. You can then use Insight Control server migration P2V feature to migrate data (operating system, application, configuration etc) from your old 90 physical servers on to the virtual machines on the new virtualized ProLiant servers. You can use Insight Control virtual machine management feature to manage these heterogeneous virtual machines in conjunction with virtualization vendor management tools.
