Provides associations between virtual machines and physical host and integration into HP Systems Insight Manager and enables all tasks to be run from the Systems Insight Manager console, leveraging existing discovery, identification and notification processes already available in SIM.

Provides control functions for virtual machines from VMware and Microsoft from a central console that allows users to manage virtual machines in a consistent manner irrespective of virtualization layer

Provides start, stop, pause, reset, move, copy, backup, create template and restore functions for VMs remotely from HP Systems Insight Manager.

Flexible move capabilities allow multiple usage scenarios. In high availability situations that do not allow service interruptions, Live Move (initiate VMware VMotion technology from Systems Insight Manager - requires VirtualCenter) can be used (for ESX only). Where flexibility is required to execute fast moves between dissimilar host hardware, SAN-based fast move can be enabled (ESX only). Where the VM Host is not connected to a SAN, a file-copy move can be used.

Enable Failed Host Recovery situations by assigning alternate hosts to VMs. If host fails, quickly restart VM on new host.

Make informed decisions on workload optimization with "at a glance" single view of virtual machine and associated host server performance. Set usage thresholds for CPU, memory, and disk usage and proactively receive alerts in SIM when thresholds are exceeded and take corrective action.

Automatically respond to predictive hardware failures on ESX 3.x host servers by relocating VMs before a server fails, reducing downtime.

Launch VMware VirtualCenter or Microsoft System Centre Virtual Machine Manager from HP SIM to perform tasks as needed. View ESX host cluster and resource pool properties from VirtualCenter in HP SIM.

Collect events from ESX 3.0 and above and VirtualCenter in HP SIM to use HP SIM as your central event consolidation and alerting tool.

HP will replace defective delivery media replacement for a period of 90 days following the date of purchase.
