predefined scripts to configure HP server hardware and deploy operating systems for Windows
and Linux platforms.
– HP Insight Control performance management: Insight Control performance management detects,
analyzes, and explains hardware configuration issues and performance bottlenecks on HP
ProLiant servers, virtual machines, and MSA shared storage. It provides the tools you need to
receive proactive notification of building bottleneck conditions and to debug existing performance
issues.
– HP Insight Control virtual machine management: Virtual machine management tool that provides
virtual machine management of physical and virtual server resources within Systems Insight
Manager. Supports VMware ESX, Citrix XenServer, and Microsoft Hyper-V virtual machine
environments.
• HP Insight Control server migration: Management software application that provides an automated,
a ccura te, a nd a fforda ble wa y to migra te existing servers a nd their content to the la test HP
BladeSystem or ProLiant server technologies, or the la test virtua liza tion pla tforms from VMwa re,
Microsoft, and Citrix. Supports physica l-to-ProLia nt (P2 P), virtua l-to-ProLia nt (V2 P), physica l-to-virtua l
(P2 V), a nd virtua l-to-virtual (V2V) migra tions.
• HP Insight Softwa re Services: Ma na gement services tha t fa cilita te component integra tion a nd
updates. These services simply assignment of Insight Control licenses to servers managed by
Systems Insight Manager and identification of software updates.

– HP Insight Dynamics recovery management: A component of HP Insight Dynamics that provides
automated disaster recovery of logical server environments. Logical servers are server profiles that
detach the logical identity from the physical resource. Logical servers that are managed by HP
Insight Dynamics recovery management are referred to as Disaster Recovery Protected (DR
Protected) logical servers. Each DR Protected logical server is configured to run on an HP ProLiant
server; either a c-Class blade equipped with HP Virtual Connect, or on a virtual machine under
the control of a VMware ESX server of Microsoft Hyper-V server. HP Insight Dynamics recovery
management utilizes the Continuous Access capabilities of HP storage environments to make sure
tha t critica l da ta is properly tra nsitioned to the recovery loca tion.
• HP Insight Dynamics infrastructure orchestration: An HP Insight Dynamics component that delivers
workflow a utoma tion combined with templa te-driven multi-tier/ multi-node infrastructure design,
