HP Insight Control Environment Suites
HP Insight Control Environment and Insight Control Environment for BladeSystem are integrated suites of
software that simplify the management of HP infrastructures.
The HP Insight Control Environment suites are licensing options for HP infrastructure management software
delivered on the Insight Control Management DVD. HP Insight Control Environment provides
comprehensive management for ProLiant ML/DL customers, while HP Insight Control Environment for
BladeSystem provides additional functionality for HP BladeSystem environments.
Using an integrated, wizard-based installer, Insight Control Environment suites install and configure HP
Systems Insight Manager (HP SIM) and HP ProLiant Essentials management software rapidly and
consistently. Once installed, Insight Control Environment suites deliver enhanced infrastructure stability by
improving control over IT assets, increasing responsiveness to business needs through flexible deployment
and optimization of compute resources, and providing tangible savings through improved IT staff
efficiency.
The software installed by Insight Control Environment suites delivers core management functionality for HP
ProLiant server and HP BladeSystem lifecycles, including:
• Rapid server deployment
• Health and performance monitoring
• Comprehensive remote control
• Vulnerability scanning and patch management
• Power and thermal measurement, reporting, capping, and regulation
• Integrated management of virtual and physical infrastructure
• Third-party device management

Redundant ROM support
The server enables you to upgrade or configure the ROM safely with redundant ROM support. The server
has a 4-MB ROM that acts as two, separate 2-MB ROMs. In the standard implementation, one side of the
ROM contains the current ROM program version, while the other side of the ROM contains a backup
version.
