Overview

HP SAM enables automatic provisioning of remote computing resources to users.

Figure 1-1HP SAM Configuration

HP SAM can be configured to enable a user to connect to the desktop session of a particular remote computing resource (identified by its IP address or hostname)—this is known as a static connection. In Figure 1-1 HP SAM Configuration on page 3, HP SAM has been configured to statically connect user Tom to blade PC 1 with an IP address of 15.2.76.100. Regardless of which access device Tom uses, he is automatically connected to blade PC 1 at address 15.2.76.100.

HP SAM can also be configured to enable a user to connect to any of a pool of computing resources— this is known as a dynamic connection. HP SAM allows the administrator to define one or more roles for each computing resource. A computing resource with a role of “abcde”, for example, might be configured with applications to conduct stock transactions or accounting functions. In Figure 1-1 HP SAM Configuration on page 3, HP SAM has been configured to allow user Mai to dynamically connect to one of the three blade workstations supporting the role of “abcde.”

HP SAM uses HP Remote Graphics Software (RGS) or Microsoft® Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) to connect between access devices and computing resources.

RGS has features which make it particularly suitable for remote computing. RGS provides extremely fast capture, compression, and transmission of the desktop image (the actual frame buffer pixels) using standard TCP/IP networking. For more information on RGS, visit http://www.hp.com/go/rgs.
