Overview

The ProLiant Essentials Virtual Machine Management Pack extends HP Systems Insight Manager capabilities to manage virtual machines. The Virtual Machine Management Pack provides central management and control of VMware®, Microsoft®, and Citrix virtual machines with physical host to virtual machine association, easy identification of VMs or host servers reaching high CPU, memory or disk utilization levels, highly flexible move capabilities that allows live moves (for some platforms) and moves to dissimilar host resources, and back up, template and alternate host capabilities that enable restoration of VMs on any available host.

VMM integrates with virtualization vendor management tools, such as VMware VirtualCenter, and VMM is the only solution available that out of the box can initiate VMware DRS to relocate VMs based on hardware predictive failure alerts.

Ideal environment

Ideal for...

Customers implementing one of these projects or others that involve server virtualization
  • Server consolidation & disaster recovery projects - Reduce server sprawl using virtualization technology to host several servers on one physical server and maintain disaster recovery sites without using same number of physical servers
  • Test and development & client consolidation projects - Use virtual machines to quickly provision and scale test machines and rapidly transition to newer projects. Also, host several clients on high capacity servers, reducing the manageability burden associated with stand alone clients
  • Workload management & extend life of legacy environments - Leverage the ability to easily move virtual machines from server to server to manage server workloads. Also, take advantage of the ability to run legacy applications in a virtual machine that removes dependence on specific hardware

Customers looking to get the best return from their virtualization investment
  • Reduce downtime by moving VMs before hardware failures occur
  • Improve operational efficiency by allowing administrators to handle many virtualization tasks from the same console used for physical server administration
  • Manage heterogeneous virtualization platforms from one console instead of constantly monitoring and switching between multiple consoles
