HP Systems Insight Manager
HP Systems Insight Manager (HP SIM) is the foundation for HP's unified infrastructure
management strategy. It provides hardware level management for HP ProLiant,
Integrity, and HP 9000 servers; HP BladeSystems; and HP StorageWorks MSA, EVA,
and XP storage arrays. HP SIM also provides management of non-HP gear through
industry standards.
HP Systems Insight Manager alone is an effective unified infrastructure management
tool. When used in conjunction with Essentials plug-ins, it becomes a comprehensive,
easy-to-use platform that enables organizations to holistically control their Windows,
HP-UX, and Linux environments.
