HP Insight Remote Support software
HP strongly recommends that you install HP Insight Remote Support software to complete the
installation or upgrade of your product and to enable enhanced delivery of your HP Warranty,
HP Care Pack Service, or HP contractual support agreement. HP Insight Remote Support supplements
your monitoring, 24x7 to ensure maximum system availability by providing intelligent event
diagnosis, and automatic, secure submission of hardware event notifications to HP, which initiates
a fast and accurate resolution, based on the service level of your product. Notifications may be
sent to your authorized HP Channel Partner for onsite service, if configured and available in your
country. The software is available in two variants:
• HP Insight Remote Support Standard: This software supports server and storage devices and
is optimized for environments with 1 to 50 servers. Ideal for customers who can benefit from
pronotification, but do not need proservice delivery and integration with a management
platform.
• HP Insight Remote Support Advanced: This software provides comprehensive remote monitoring
and proservice support for HP servers, storage, network and SAN environments, plus selected
non-HP servers than have a support obligation with HP. It is integrated with HP Systems Insight
Manager. A dedicated server is recommended to host both HP Systems Insight Manager and
HP Insight Remote Support Advanced.
Details for both versions are available at:
