HP Systems Insight Manager
HP Systems Insight Manager (HP SIM) is the foundation for HP's unified server-storage
management strategy. It is a multiple operating system, hardware level management
product that supports HP ProLiant, Integrity and HP 9000 servers, HP StorageWorks
MSA, EVA, XP arrays, and third-party arrays. Through a single management view of
Microsoft Windows, HP-UX 11iv1, HP-UX 11iv2, HP-UX 11iv3, and Red Hat, SuSE
Linux, HP SIM provides the basic management features of system discovery and

SIM software uses Web Based Enterprise Management (WBEM) to deliver the essential
capabilities required to manage all HP server platforms.
HP SIM can be extended to provide system management with plug-ins for HP clients,
storage, power, and printer products. Plug-in applications for workload management,
capacity management, virtual machine management, and partition management

required to deliver complete lifecycle management for your hardware assets.
