integrated into HP SIM extend its capabilities to deliver unified management of an IT infrastructure
consisting of both physical and virtual server resources and to simplify and consolidate the provisioning,
management, and migration of all server resources from one central interface.
The virtual machine management capabilities in HP SIM are provided by integrating the HP ProLiant
Essentials Virtual Machine Management Pack and the HP ProLiant Essentials Server Migration Pack.
Both these components are installed together as one component, but they are licensed separately.

Pack provides central management and control for Microsoft's Virtual Server and VMware's GSX
