HP Virtual Connect Enterprise Manager (VCEM) simplifies the management of BladeSystem environments that use Virtual Connect to control LAN and SAN connectivity, helping organizations increase productivity, respond more quickly to business demands, and significantly reduce operating costs. Built on existing HP Virtual Connect technology, VCEM provides a central console to manage and control infrastructure resources, a single resource pool for LAN and SAN address administration, and grouping capabilities that enable rapid, reliable deployment and movement of servers across the datacenter.
Together, Virtual Connect and Virtual Connect Enterprise Manager create a change-ready datacenter environment. Administrators can add, replace and recover servers on-the-fly in minutes, significantly reducing typical deployment and maintenance costs
