Glossary

agent

A program with a well-defined task that runs in the background and that is used to capture

 

information or do processing tasks.

aggregate data

Screens in Application Discovery that display a collection of data about various objects, often

views

including system, application, and event data for all known instances of each in one table, but

 

with emphasis on one aspect of the data.

application

A logically related set of processes active on a host system (a running application ) and/or a

 

logically related set of files on a host system disk (an installed application).

 

Application Discovery recognizes applications based on standard package installation, templates

 

that are shipped with the product, and templates that are defined by users.

Application

Application Discovery. The HP Matrix Operating Environment application that inventories running

Discovery

and installed applications in a network and provides application and process map data used for

 

creating workloads in HP Matrix OE visualization.

 

See also application discovery.

application

The process of finding applications and gathering performance and location data about them

discovery

for display and use.

 

See also Application Discovery.

Capacity Advisor

Capacity Advisor. The HP Matrix Operating Environment application that performs analysis and

 

planning of workloads on a system or across a set of systems.

central

See CMS.

management

 

 

server

 

 

CMS

Central management server. A system in the management domain that executes the Systems

 

Insight Manager software. All central operations within Systems Insight Manager are initiated

 

from this system.

discovery

In system management applications, the process of finding and identifying network objects. In

 

HP Systems Insight Manager, discovery finds and identifies all the HP systems within a specified

 

network. In Application Discovery , discovery finds and identifies all running and installed

 

applications within a specified network.

discovery ratio

As used by Application Discovery , this is a comparison of matched to unmatched processes

 

running on a host. The ratio is the percentage of processes that can be matched to applications.

Global Workload

See gWLM.

Manager

 

 

gWLM

Global Workload Manager. The HP Matrix Operating Environment application that allows you

 

to centrally define resource-sharing policies that you can use across multiple HP servers. These

 

policies increase system utilization and facilitate controlled sharing of system resources. gWLM's

 

monitoring abilities provide both real-time and historical monitoring of the resource allocation.

host

1.

A system or partition that is running an instance of an operating system.

 

2.

The physical machine that is the Integrity Virtual Machines VM Host for one or more virtual

 

 

machines.

host name

The name of a system or partition that is running an OS instance.

host OS

The operating system that is running on the host machine.

HP Integrity Virtual

See Integrity VM.

Machines

 

 

HP Matrix OE

HP Matrix OE visualization. Provides hierarchical visualization of servers and workloads, with

visualization

seamless access to the management tools of the HP Matrix Operating Environment technologies.

Integrity VM

Integrity Virtual Machines. A soft partitioning virtualization product that allows you to install and

 

run multiple systems (virtual machines) on the same physical host system (Integrity server or

 

nPartition). The Integrity server or nPartition acts as a VM Host for the virtual machines (also

 

referred to as guests). The virtual machines share a single set of physical hardware resources,

Matrix Operating Environment Software specifications

HP Matrix Operating Environment (MOE) is an innovative software platform designed to deliver efficient management and orchestration of IT resources across physical, virtual, and cloud infrastructures. It provides a comprehensive solution for organizations that require a robust and flexible environment to manage their IT operations seamlessly.

One of the main features of HP MOE is its ability to optimize resource utilization by automating the provisioning and management of infrastructure components. This includes the ability to rapidly deploy servers, storage, and networking resources in a manner that meets the dynamic needs of modern businesses. This automation significantly reduces the time and effort required for manual configurations, enabling IT teams to focus on strategic initiatives rather than routine tasks.

The software offers a unified management interface that provides visibility into the entire IT environment. Users can monitor performance metrics, track resource allocation, and manage workflows through a single dashboard. This centralized control not only simplifies operations but also enhances decision-making capabilities by providing real-time insights into system health and performance.

Another critical characteristic of HP MOE is its support for both physical and virtual resources. The platform is designed to seamlessly integrate with existing infrastructure, making it easier for organizations to adopt virtualization and hybrid cloud strategies. Its compatibility with industry-standard hypervisors allows businesses to leverage their current investments while taking advantage of the benefits of virtualization.

HP MOE incorporates advanced technologies such as automation scripts, APIs, and tools for workload balancing. This technological backbone enables organizations to implement elasticity in their environments, allowing them to scale resources up or down based on demand. The software also supports a service-oriented architecture, facilitating integration with other enterprise applications and systems.

Security is a top priority in the design of HP MOE. The software provides robust security features that ensure data integrity and protect against unauthorized access. This includes role-based access controls, encryption, and compliance reporting, all of which contribute to a secure operating environment.

In summary, HP Matrix Operating Environment Software is a powerful solution that addresses the complexities of managing modern IT resources. Its key features include automation, unified management, support for physical and virtual environments, and strong security measures. With its ability to enhance efficiency and streamline operations, HP MOE is an essential tool for organizations looking to stay competitive in an increasingly digital landscape.
