HP Insight Dynamics - VSE
for HP Integrity servers
HP Insight Dynamics - VSE is advanced lifecycle management software for HP
Integrity servers which allows you to instantly adjust to dynamic business
demands - with the new addition of infrastructure orchestration, not only can
you easily plan, configure, and automate your physical and virtual resources in
the same way, but now you can also provision and modify a complex
infrastructure in minutes.
HP-UX Software Assistant
(SWA)
HP-UX Software Assistant (SWA) is a command-line based tool that
consolidates and simplifies patch management and security bulletin
management on HP-UX systems. The SWA tool is new for HP-UX releases as
of January 2007, includes Security Patch Check (SPC), and is the HP-
recommended utility to use to maintain currency with HP-published security
bulletins for HP-UX software.
HP-UX Workload Manager HP-UX Workload Manager (HP-UX WLM) is a resource management tool that
provides automatic CPU resource allocation and application performance
management based on your service-level objectives (SLOs) and business
priorities. WLM is most effective managing applications that are CPU-bound. It
automatically adapts system or partition CPU resources (cores) to the
demands, SLOs, and priorities of the running applications. (A core is the actual
data processing engine within a processor, where a single processor can have
multiple cores, and a core can support multiple execution threads through
Hyper-Threading, introduced with HP-UX 11i v3, as discussed below.) It
adjusts the CPU allocation of a group of processes known as a workload,
basing adjustment on the current needs and performance of the applications
in that workload.
HP Global Workload
Manager
The workload management capability for HP Integrity servers is provided by
the HP Global Workload Manager component of HP Insight Dynamics - VSE. HP
Global Workload Manager (gWLM) is an intelligent policy engine that
automatically allocates resources among multiple workloads to increase
server utilization while meeting service levels for high-priority applications.
Designed to work across multiple HP-UX 11i, OpenVMS and Linux
environments, the workload management features are ideal for large,
centralized IT environments that host applications for many departments.
HP Insight Dynamics
infrastructure
orchestration
HP Insight Dynamics infrastructure orchestration capabilities let you provision
infrastructure in minutes to automatically activate physical and virtual
servers, storage, and networking from pools of shared resources. Whether
you need a single virtual machine or infrastructure for a complex three-tier
application, Insight Dynamics finds available resources, streamlines the
approval process, and automatically provisions and configures what's needed
across infrastructure silos. Delivering infrastructure to the business becomes
faster, more efficient, and more reliable.
Performance Manager and
Agent
HP Performance Manager, Agents, and Monitor combine to provide a powerful
and flexible distributed management solution. This solution is a single
interface for centrally monitoring, analyzing, and forecasting resource
utilization for distributed multi-vendor environments, enabling you to offer
the best possible level of service in a cost-effective manner.
Process Resource Manager HP Process Resource Manager (HP PRM) is a resource management tool used
to control the amount of resources that processes use during peak system
load. HP PRM can manage allocation of the following resources:
CPU: Ensures a minimum allocation of CPU; can also simultaneously cap
