HP ProLiant Essentials Rapid Deployment Pack (RDP) is a server deployment solution that facilitates the installation, configuration, and deployment of high-volumes of servers through either a GUI-based or a web-based console, using either scripting or imaging technology. Server configuration time is reduced, making it possible to scale server deployments to high volumes in rapid fashion.
RDP encompasses the HP SmartStart Scripting Toolkit, drivers, agents and configuration utilities, HP supplied deployment jobs, easy-to-use installation process, and important support & documents. Tightly integrated with HP Systems Insight Manager, this deployment solution makes deploying a server as easy as selecting one, a few or hundreds of target servers and selecting predefined images or scripts and click "Run".

Ideal for...
Datacenter environments that regularly have to deploy new servers
- High-density server environments require high-volume automated deployment options; RDP provides this through its easy-to-use graphical user interface.
- The advent of headless servers requires an easy method for server deployment; by fully leveraging HP's unique lights-out capabilities RDP offers full control of headless servers.
- Users require rapid, scalable deployment solutions; thanks to its built-in multi-casting capabilities, RDP easily scales to very large environments needing to deploy hundreds of servers at the same time.
- Customers require a sophisticated but easy-to-implement server deployment solution so any level within the IT staff can use it; thanks to its drag-and-drop user interface and integration into HP Systems Insight Manager RDP can be used by all IT staff, while clear access-right designations will avoid tampering by unauthorized personnel.
Larger organizations with decentralized locations
- Customers needing a method for unattended server deployment. RDP allows remote deployment and remote operations such as switching the server on and off or rebooting. Only physical operations such as installing the server into the rack, connecting the server to network, and reading the server's iLO network information tag need be done by on-site IT staff.
