HP Insight Orchestration software

HP Insight Orchestration extends the management capabilities of the HP Insight Dynamics – VSE suite

for ProLiant servers to automate the provisioning and repurposing of an IT infrastructure. HP Insight

Orchestration software enables administrators to rapidly provision a server infrastructure consistently

and automatically from pools of shared resources using a self-service portal. Administrators can

assign resources as varied as a single virtual machine to complex multi-tier environments with physical

and virtual server and storage resources. The key capabilities of HP Insight Orchestration include the

following attributes:

Ability to visually design standardized infrastructures

Ability to automatically provision using standardized templates, streamlined approval processes,

and a self-service web portal. (Figure 8)

Ability to seamlessly integrate with existing IT management tools and processes across the IT

lifecycle—from design through operation and the ultimate repurposing of assets. It uses an

embedded workflow automation tool, HP Operations Orchestration software, to make infrastructure

delivery processes more efficient and reliable across IT functions, including the roles of IT architects,

administrators, and operations teams.
