HP Virtual Connect Enterprise Manager (VCEM) centralizes connection management and workload mobility for HP BladeSystem server blades that use Virtual Connect to access to LANs and SANs, helping organizations increase productivity, respond faster to workload and infrastructure changes, and reduce operating costs.
Built on the Virtual Connect architecture integrated into every BladeSystem c-Class enclosure, VCEM provides a central console to administer LAN and SAN address assignments, perform group-based configuration management and execute the rapid deployment, movement and failover of server connections and workloads for 250 Virtual Connect domains (up to 1,000 BladeSystem enclosures and 16,000 blade servers).
Together, Virtual Connect and Virtual Connect Enterprise Manager create a change-ready infrastructure that enables system administrators to add, replace and recover servers across the datacenter in minutes without impacting LAN and SAN configurations and availability.
