Overview

The HP Insight Orchestration option for HP Insight Dynamics – VSE enables IT organizations to provision infrastructure consistently and automatically from pools of shared resources using a self-service portal. Resources provisioned can range from a single virtual machine to complex multi-tier environments with physical and virtual servers, storage, and network requirements. HP Insight Orchestration lets you visually design your infrastructure services and rapidly provision using automation and streamlined approval processes. It integrates with existing IT management tools and processes using an embedded workflow automation tool. You can orchestrate across various roles and functions, such as architects, server, network, and storage administrators, and operations teams to make the infrastructure delivery process fast, efficient, and reliable. HP Insight Orchestration builds on HP Insight Dynamics – VSE and includes workflow automation capabilities from HP Operations Orchestration.
