Server Management Challenges

Savings with HP Insight Control

"Controlling our infrastructure is difficult with servers everywhere - each running different operating systems, management tools, applications and configurations." Reduce administrative expenses by up to $48,380 for every 100 usersC and reduce travel time to remote sites to a bare minimumD
"The constant threat of security-related outages - and keeping security patches up to date - make protecting the infrastructure time-consuming and costly." Reduce the risk of outage and security vulnerabilities plus dramatically decrease patch deployment timesE
"Our servers are way underutilized, which prevents us from optimizing the IT infrastructure and getting the most out of our servers, especially when some racks are empty due to powering and cooling constraints." Consolidate servers and manage virtual machines, while capping power and increasing compute density - to make the most of your data center floor spaceF
"Integration continues to elude us because we're unable to standardize all of the pieces and make them work together." Simpler setup and operations, regardless of the servers or operating systems in use, and extensive integration with HP software products and other leading enterprise management solutions
