- Use ProLiant Support Packs to deploy servers using consistent collections of support software components
- Reduce the complexity and frequency of server maintenance updates, and limit the potential for driver incompatibility by using well-qualified software baselines
- Monitor baseline compliance for groups of servers through HP Smart Update Manager (HPSUM) or the Version Control Repository within HP Systems Insight Manager
- ProLiant Support Packs are developed and tested concurrently with HP SmartStart releases to ensure trouble-free installation and operations

- Deploy HP ProLiant Support Packs efficiently using HP Smart Update Manager (HP SUM)
- HP SUM and Linux Deployment Utility (LDU) (used prior to version 8.40 for Linux PSPs) are smart tools that simplify software maintenance tasks, reduce complexity and costs, save time and use resources more efficiently over the server lifecycle
- Establish consistent server configurations deployed from a centralized software repository
- Graphical and scripted command line options for deploying complete PSP bundles or individual HP software components
- Software component updates contain details of critical fixes, new features and software revision history
- Log files provide a convenient way to access the software installation history of the server, including deployment successes and failures
