Hp Bladesystem Manageability Key Benefits - HP 279720-B21 - ProLiant BL p-Class F-GbE Interconnect Overview

HP BladeSystem manageability key benefits

Quickly configure both server blades and interconnect switches from a centralized deployment
console using HP ProLiant Essentials Rapid Deployment Pack (RDP).
– Configure tens to hundreds of server blades simultaneously in a fraction of the time required to
configure conventional servers using multicasting
– Automatically restore the role of a previous blade to a
new server blade
– Integrate interconnect switch scripts in RDP for
deployment interconnect switches as well as server
blades
Leverage IT personnel by managing a larger number of
server blades both locally and remotely with less time and
effort.
– Preboot eXecution Environment (PXE) technology
enhances remote access by installing and configuring
operating systems to boot over a network.
– iLO Advanced functionality ships standard on every
server blade, including full remote console virtual media (diskette and CD-ROM) capabilities.
– Fully integrates with HP Systems Insight Manager (HP SIM) so you can manage ProLiant blades
and traditional servers with the same tools.
Take greater control of HP BladeSystem environments with
HP SIM.
– HP SIM is the easy-to-use, flexible, scalable, and secure
solution for managing HP servers and client devices by
providing rapid access to detailed fault and
performance information.
– HP SIM provides visualization of server blades and
interconnect switches at both enclosure and at rack
levels for better awareness and control of all blade
system components.
