consistent
way to deploy servers.
Intelligent Provisioning prepares the system for installing original, licensed vendor media and Hewlett Packard
Enterprise-branded versions of OS software. Intelligent Provisioning also prepares the system to integrate
optimized server support software from the Service Pack for (SPP). SPP is a comprehensive
systems
software and firmware solution for
servers, server blades, their enclosures, and HPE
