Insight Orchestration console overview

The HP SIM Insight Orchestration console enables you, as an administrator, to deploy, manage and monitor the overall behavior of Insight Orchestration and its users, templates, services and resources. Administrators also, interact with the architect to ensure templates are compatible with existing resources and business needs as requests are fulfilled or denied. For example as an administrator you:

View status, progress, and details of completed and executing requests
View available resources
Approve or reject requests
Perform pool management

To accomplish these tasks as an administrator, you:

Create resource pools for hosting services based on standardized templates and the business forecast.
Collaborate with the business units to register user accounts for access to the Self-Service Portal.
Assign one or more resource pools to each self-service user, authorizing the user to deploy service templates on a given pool of hardware resources.
