HP FlexManagement

A New Type of Network Management Architecture
IT staff time and budgets are overwhelmingly devoted to ongoing operations and maintenance instead of developing new initiatives or expanding capacity to support business growth. In fact, more than 70% of any IT budget is spent just keeping the lights on, leaving less than 30% to deliver business-critical innovation.
Solving such seemingly intractable problems calls for a new type of network management architecture that combines single-pane-of-glass multivendor management with automated virtual machine orchestration and automatic synchronization of network connectivity information. The solution is HP FlexManagement, available today with the HP Intelligent Management Center (IMC).

Unify Control of Virtual and Physical Worlds
HP IMC is a unified, single-point network management platform that provides visibility across entire networks, enabling unified management of network resources, services, and users. This leads to increased performance, enhanced security, and reduced infrastructure complexity and costs.
IMC capabilities include:

• Automatic discovery of VMs and virtual switches, and their relationships with the physical network
• Template-based connection policy definition; automation and orchestration of VM network connectivity, eliminates the manual provisioning process
• VM and virtual switch resource management, including creation of virtual switches and port groups
• Virtual/physical topology views and status indicators for networks, workloads, and virtual switches
• Automatic reconfiguration when virtual workloads are moved within and across the data center
• Network policies remain bound to VMs during migration

With features like these, HP IMC can help eliminate service interruptions caused by virtual/ physical network configuration errors, reduce administration and troubleshooting, and ultimately accelerate the delivery of new applications and services.
