HP Matrix Operating Environment 7.3 Update 1 Release Notes

1 Description
HP Matrix Operating Environment is advanced infrastructure management software
that allows you to analyze and optimize both physical and virtual resources in the same
way. Matrix OE 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 Matrix Operating Environment for ProLiant, HP Matrix Operating Environment for
non-HP servers, and HP Matrix Operating Environment for HP-UX are integrated by
design, delivering capabilities greater than the sum of its parts. Matrix OE is based on
proven HP technologies, such as HP Insight Control and HP Systems Insight Manager,
the world’s most popular platform management tool. Matrix OE takes advantage of
HP Virtual Connect to bring the flexibility of virtualization to a physical environment.

server management, and Matrix OE infrastructure orchestration capabilities for
automated design and provisioning.
