Infrastructure Management Software

Are you spending too much time and money on server updates? The Service Pack for Edgeline (SPE) and Smart Update Manager (SUM) combine to create the Hewlett Packard Enterprise Smart Update Technology to solve the problem of time-consuming, expensive, and error-prone updates. The SPE is a comprehensive collection of firmware and system software tested together as a single solution stack used for updating your HPE Edgeline Converged Edge Systems. With the SPE, Hewlett Packard Enterprise tests the firmware and system software updates, so you don't have to. Together, the SPE and SUM perform online updates 3X faster with 93% less downtime.¹

Need to update your ProLiant servers with the latest drivers and firmware? The HPE ProLiant Updates Catalog for Microsoft System Center enables IT administrators to use System Center Configuration Manager (SCCM) and System Center Virtual Machine Manager (SCVMM) to automatically manage and distribute HPE ProLiant server software and firmware from the HPE Service Pack for ProLiant (SPP).

The Scripting Toolkit (STK) for Windows and Linux provide flexible scripting to automate steps in HPE ProLiant server configurations to scale high volumes of server deployments rapidly and cut deployment time substantially. The STK includes a modular set of utilities and documentation that describe how to apply the scripting tools for an automated deployment process.

It delivers hands-off, unattended installation for high volume HPE ProLiant server deployments and is integrated with other management tools such as Integrated Lights Out (iLO), BIOS and is based on Intelligent Provisioning. Its "Rack and Go" approach frees up scarce IT resources, delivers consistent server configurations across multiple servers, and integrates into popular methods for operating system deployment. Past versions were based on SmartStart, and were known as the SmartStart Scripting Toolkit.

Are you looking for a way to automate your Hewlett Packard Enterprise server configuration tasks using Windows PowerShell? HPE Scripting Tools for Windows PowerShell is a powerful set of utilities that can be used to perform various configuration tasks on HPE Servers. Windows PowerShell is Microsoft's task automation framework, consisting of a command-line shell and associated scripting language built on the .NET Framework.

HPE Scripting Tools for Windows PowerShell provides a simplified and consistent infrastructure management experience. They follow the standard PowerShell syntax and scripting model, making it easy for customers to incorporate these functions into their administrative scripts.

Are you struggling to manage your Edge devices in a way that you are accustomed to in a data center environment? The HPE Edgeline Infrastructure Manager Software (EIM) makes it simple to deploy and manage HPE Edgeline systems in any location. It allows administrators to aggregate the management of their Edgeline systems under a single application over wired and wireless interface (WiFi, LTE and such). The HPE Edgeline Infrastructure Manager easily conveys both routine and critical metrics in an easy-to-read graphical interface. It supports discovery, provisioning, and updating at scale to manage firmware, option settings, and networking parameters. Designed with standards-based API, HPE Edgeline Infrastructure Manager Software is an industry-leading Edgeline tool that is ideal for administrators who need to closely manage their servers and Edge systems both inside and outside the data center environment.

The HPE Insight Integration for CA Network and System Manager simplifies systems management by integrating the discovery and management of HPE ProLiant, AlphaServer, and Integrity servers into the Unicenter Network and Systems Management (NSM r11) application.

The HPE Insight Integration is a scalable solution that works directly with native Unicenter applications, including WorldView, Enterprise Console, and the Unicenter Agent Technology to monitor HPE servers, clients, and storage that use Unicenter as the primary management console. With the Insight Integration, you can manage events for HPE hardware and other enterprise resources from a common Unicenter interface.

Do you need help increasing your system uptime and health?

One of the easiest, simplest, least expensive solutions is HPE Systems Insight Manager (HPE SIM). It allows you to manage your hardware across a wide variety of Hewlett Packard Enterprise servers, including the HPE ProLiant Gen10 Servers and HPE ProLiant Gen9 Servers, as well as storage and networking products. With HPE SIM you can manage your contracts and warranties and automate remote support via HPE Insight Remote Support. HPE SIM allows you to monitor the health of your HPE ProLiant Servers and HPE Integrity Servers, and also provides you with basic support for non-Hewlett Packard Enterprise servers with software discovery.

When you integrate HPE SIM with HPE Insight Control and HPE Matrix Operating Environment, you can proactively manage your physical and virtual server health, deploy servers quickly, decrease power consumption, and improve your infrastructure with capacity planning.

The HPE Insight Management for Netcool/OMNIbus provides infrastructure management across a wide range of operating system platforms. This enables IT administrators to manage HPE ProLiant servers, storage and other enterprise resources within a common Netcool/OMNIbus environment.
The HPE Insight Management for Netcool/OMNIbus provides definitions for over 2578 individual events, defined in its rules file and to correlate nearly 785 SNMP events. These definitions and rules integrate closely with the Netcool/OMNIbus application using the Mttrapd probe, enabling HPE SNMP events and Fibre Channel Management SNMP events to be identified, processed, translated, and appear on the Event List.

Wondering how to get your HPE ProLiant Server up and running with improved security using industry standard interfaces?

Each HPE ProLiant Gen9 and Gen10 Server supports Unified Extensible Firmware Interface (UEFI). This industry standard is a set of interfaces between the system firmware, the operating system, and various components of the system firmware that deliver enhanced security benefits for the HPE Servers.

The HPE ProLiant system BIOS is a UEFI solution based on the latest UEFI Specification revisions. In addition, most HPE ProLiant Gen9 and Gen10 Server are UEFI Class 2 solution, supporting both Legacy BIOS boot and UEFI boot modes, providing users the flexibility to switch between modes. UEFI supports iLO RESTful API and is Redfish API conformant.

Are you spending too much time and money on server updates?

Smart Update Manager (SUM) and the Service Pack for ProLiant (SPP) combine to create the Hewlett Packard Enterprise Smart Update Technology to solve the problem of time-consuming, expensive, and error-prone updates.

SUM is an innovative tool for keeping the firmware, drivers, and system software of HPE ProLiant, HPE Synergy, HPE BladeSystem and HPE Moonshot infrastructures and associated options up to date and secure.
