HP Insight Dynamics - VSE Software

Next-generation management to analyze and optimize your Adaptive Infrastructure

Your technology infrastructure is your business infrastructure. It needs to adapt and grow just like your business. With HP Insight Dynamics - VSE software, the Adaptive Infrastructure takes a giant leap forward to help your business free the untapped potential of your data center.

Round two of virtualization is here.

Although virtualization has proven to lower costs and
increase flexibility, new questions emerge as virtual sprawl
adds to server sprawl.

• How do I extend the benefits of virtualization to my entire infrastructure?
• Is it just me, or is capacity planning and configuration management more complicated than ever?
• What about my physical servers? Do I really need separate tools, teams and timelines from my virtual resources?
  

How do you answer these questions? Look to HP Insight Dynamics - VSE: a new class of management software to continuously analyze and optimize your Adaptive Infrastructure.

It's time for virtual and physical to unite.

HP Insight Dynamics - VSE is the world's first integrated solution that lets you visualize, plan and change physical and virtual resources in the same way. By combining the best of the HP infrastructure management portfolio into one, HP Insight Dynamics - VSE gives you a powerful toolkit to accelerate complex IT projects and simplify daily operations. It makes your infrastructure change-ready, with the freedom and flexibility of virtualization delivered across your physical infrastructure.

Useful innovations that save time, money and energy

Meet the logical server.

Logical servers bring the flexibility of virtualization to physical servers. The logical server is essentially a server profile that is easily created and freely moved across physical and virtual machines. By detaching the logical identity from the physical resource, you can create or move logical servers on any suitable virtual or physical machine--on demand.

You can even create templates for your business applications with specific configurations--that can be stored and reactivated in minutes, when needed. Moving server profiles across physical servers is available on HP BladeSystem with HP ProLiant server blades and will soon be available for HP Integrity server blades.

Real-time capacity planning

HP Insight Dynamics - VSE is also the industry's most advanced real-time capacity planning tool. It collects and analyzes millions of historical data points from virtual and physical resources, including power consumption. Then, using new Smart Solver technology developed in HP Labs, it can show you the best fit for your workloads, reducing the number of physical servers you need.

With a five-star rating system, you can see in real time the best fit for your logical server, then drag and drop it in the new location. Like having a team of PhDs behind you, HP Insight Dynamics - VSE takes the tedious research and guesswork out of traditional capacity planning.

Unified control

With HP Insight Dynamics - VSE, you can now control physical and virtual resources in the same way. Built on HP Systems Insight Manager--the infrastructure management platform used by more companies than any other--you can see all available resources within a single screen, without switching tools or logging in and out. With the right data and powerful tools at your fingertips, you can simplify your organizational processes without actually changing them.
