Overview

The HP Insight Integration for CA Unicenter simplifies systems management by integrating the discovery and management of HP ProLiant, AlphaServer, and Integrity servers into the Unicenter Network and Systems Management (NSM) application.

The Insight Integration for Unicenter is a scalable solution that works directly with native Unicenter applications, including WorldView, Distributed State Machine (DSM), Enterprise Console and the TNG Agent Technology to monitor HP servers, clients, and storage using Unicenter as the primary management console. This enables administrators to manage events for HP hardware and other enterprise resources from a common Unicenter interface.

Additional in-depth data for HP hardware is available via integrated menu items to access the HP System Management Homepage, HP Systems Insight Manager and HP Integrated Lights-Out (iLO) management tools.

Version 3.4 of this component is an update to provide support for current servers and software. It was made available for download in March, 2008. It supersedes all previous versions.
