HP Systems Insight Manager (HP SIM) is the foundation for the HP unified server-storage management strategy. HP SIM is a hardware-level management product that supports multiple operating systems on 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, and 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 systems management with plug-ins for HP clients, storage, power, and printer products. Plug-in applications for workload management, capacity management, virtual machine (VM) management, and partition management using HP Integrity Essentials enable you to choose the value-added software that delivers complete lifecycle management for your hardware assets.
