equate hardware to meet their service-level objectives.
In addition to Virtualization Manager’s visualization and configuration capabilities, gWLM

integrated with HP Systems Insight Manager, which provides features such as user-based secu-

set of management tools with unique features made available only through the integration of the
individual components in HP’s Virtual Server Environment.
