Automated infrastructure design provisioning and management

HP Insight Orchestration supports four main activities to automate the deployment of infrastructure services:

Design  An architect uses the graphical designer to create a simple and complex infrastructure templates, that when tested can be published for users to create infrastructure services.

Provision  A self-service user selects an existing template and then requests infrastructure provisioning from it, against an assigned pool of resources. The administrator can approve or deny this request, and monitor its progress.

Operate  The administrator manages server, network, and storage pools, defines virtual machine images and software deployment jobs, performs manual provisioning tasks as part of the fulfillment of self-service requests, and uses VSE to monitor the health and utilization of the managed environment.

Integrate  Architects and administrators integrate Insight Orchestration with existing IT processes by modifying or creating Operations Orchestration workflows to customize the Insight Orchestration automation. They can link to approval processes, extend operating system deployment and server configuration, and integrate the SAN management processes with server deployment.
