HP Insight Dynamics 6.0 Release notes

1 Enhancements
Description
The HP Insight Dynamics suite is advanced infrastructure management software that allows
you to analyze and optimize both physical and virtual resources in the same way. HP Insight
Dynamics gives you a powerful toolkit to accelerate complex technology projects and simplify
daily operations. It enables you to plan capacity and power continuously, provision infrastructure
consistently, and balance across physical and virtual resources. It also allows you to ensure
cost-effective high availability for a larger set of applications.
HP Insight Dynamics for ProLiant, HP Insight Dynamics for non-HP servers, and HP Insight
Dynamics - VSE for Integrity are integrated by design, delivering capabilities greater than the
sum of its parts. HP Insight Dynamics is based on proven HP technologies, such as HP Insight
Control and HP Systems Insight Manager (HP SIM), the world’s most popular platform
management tool. HP Insight Dynamics takes advantage of HP Virtual Connect to bring the
flexibility of virtualization to a physical environment.
HP Insight Dynamics for non-HP servers includes capacity planning, advanced virtualization
and logical server management, and Insight Orchestration capabilities for automated design and
provisioning. HP Insight Dynamics for ProLiant servers includes those same capabilities plus
HP Insight Control for advanced power management, performance management, and server
deployment. HP Insight Dynamics for ProLiant servers also includes Insight Recovery for disaster
recovery capabilities, and extends advanced virtualization management to HP server blades
using HP Virtual Connect technology.
HP Insight Dynamics - VSE for Integrity integrates with HP Systems Insight Manager to provide
intelligent control of your virtualized environment from one location. HP Insight Dynamics
components assist in planning and automating system and application management tasks and
allow you to optimize server utilization in real time by creating virtual servers that can
automatically grow and shrink based on business priorities and service-level objectives. You can
also consolidate multiple applications on a single server and manage clusters as one entity without
compromising performance.
