What can HP Insight Dynamics – VSE and VMware do for you?
Together, these products create new possibilities for tackling your toughest IT projects and top business priorities in previously unimaginable ways.
Continuous consolidation
When you refresh your server hardware, you can use Insight Dynamics – VSE to forecast your capacity needs and to deploy the new virtual machine hosts as logical servers. When you are ready to deploy virtual machines, Insight Dynamics – VSE makes it easy to see where to place the new workloads, based upon a 5-star rating system. You can easily launch VMware VirtualCenter to make virtual machines part of DRS
(Distributed Resource Scheduler) groups and remove old virtual machines on retired servers from the DRS groups. When the new servers are up and running, you can use Insight Dynamics – VSE to power down the retired servers.
Everyday high availability
Insight Dynamics – VSE can predict hardware failures. Integrating it with VMware VirtualCenter allows you to automatically move the virtual machines from that hardware before any downtime occurs. Insight Dynamics – VSE can move the host as a logical server to a spare blade, thus bringing you quickly back to full capacity.
Dynamic test and development infrastructure
You may want to develop and test your applications in a virtual environment but deploy on physical servers. You can tune and configure your test server stack as usual using VMware VirtualCenter. When you are ready to deploy into production, you can use Insight Dynamics – VSE to convert from virtual to physical, saving many time-consuming steps such as re-creating the server (OS, patches, and applications) on the physical server.
Energy-aware planning
Using Insight Dynamics – VSE, you can run scenarios to see what configuration will minimize power requirements. Through integration with VMware VirtualCenter, virtual machines can be moved online to the optimal location.
