HP Systems Insight Manager (HP SIM) is the foundation for HP's unified server-storage management strategy. It is a multiple operating system, hardware level management product that supports HP ProLiant, Integrity and HP 9000 servers, HP StorageWorks MSA, EVA, XP arrays, and third-party arrays. Through a single management view of Microsoft® Windows®, HP-UX 11iv1, HP-UX 11iv2, HP-UX 11iv3, and Red Hat, SuSE Linux, HP SIM provides the basic management features of system discovery and identification, single event view, inventory data collection, and reporting. The core HP SIM software uses Web Based Enterprise Management (WBEM) to deliver the essential capabilities required to manage all HP server platforms.
HP SIM can be extended to provide system management with plug-ins for HP clients, storage, power, and printer products. Plug-in applications for workload management, capacity management, virtual machine management, and partition management through the HP Integrity Essentials enable you to pick the value-added software required to deliver complete lifecycle management for your hardware assets.
