HP: Pioneer in client and server management
Out-of-band solutions like the Intel vPro Technology platform are nothing new to HP. Remote server management through our iLO and iLO2 management processors already allow IT professionals to administer, troubleshoot and restore servers independently of the operating system. HP leveraged this remote server management expertise to develop HP OpenView Solutions, a three-tiered portfolio of products and technology that take advantage of the hardware-based capabilities of Intel vPro technology to enable remote, out-of-band, integrated hardware and software management:
HP OpenView Client Configuration Manager 2.0 Basic Edition: a free, easy-to-use and quick-to-deploy, Web-based solution for managing Windows® PCs and HP Thin Clients. Perfect for medium-sized enterprises or remote divisions of larger companies with up to 10,000 PCs, the basic edition provides:
