Managing small & medium Windows environments

Overview

HP Systems Insight Manager is HP's new management application that assists you in managing all HP servers and system hardware within your IT environment. HP Systems Insight Manager brings enterprise-level benefits to small IT environments. Regardless of the size or complexity of your organization, HP Systems Insight Manager can help you be more efficient and proactive in identifying, diagnosing, and fixing potential issues for all of your HP hardware. For example, you can receive notification of drive issues that enable you to replace the drive under warranty before it fails.

HP Systems Insight Manager ships with all HP ProLiant 300, 500, and 700 series servers and it can be implemented quickly. Its default management capabilities enable you to auto-discover systems, monitor system health, deploy system software and firmware updates, and setup paging or e-mail notifications for pro-active notification of potential problems. HP Systems Insight Manager also includes a set of fully enabled licenses for value-added options such as patch management and performance management, which allow you to evaluate these additional capabilities. If you are responsible for managing printers, storage, and clients in addition to servers, HP Systems Insight Manager provides additional value through consolidated access to specialized tools for managing these systems.
