HP offers you a choice of two solutions — HP Remote Support Pack and HP Insight Remote Support — that have evolved from ISEE. Both are designed to fit the needs identified in feedback from current ISEE users.
HP Remote Support Pack
HP Remote Support Pack (RSP) is designed for larger environments needing to integrate remote support capabilities with a management platform. It is a fully integrated plug-in to the Windows version of HP Systems Insight Manager (HP SIM). Optionally, an intelligent link can be configured for integration with HP Operations Manager.
RSP provides remote support — including delivery of proactive services — for HP and selected multivendor devices covered by warranty, HP Care Pack Service or an HP Support Contract. It also automatically retrieves warranty and support contract details and notifies you 90, 60 and 30 days before service agreement expiration.
HP Insight Remote Support
HP Insight Remote Support (Insight RS) targets smaller environments with no need for management platform integration. It is optimized for environments with 1 to 30 servers and a Windows hosting device that needs to be shared with other business applications.
Insight RS provides remote support for HP ProLiant, HP BladeSystem, HP Integrity and HP 9000 servers and HP EVA storage devices under warranty, HP Care Pack Service or HP Support Contract, but not including proactive service contracts.
Note: Insight RS is scheduled for general release in January 2009; this page will be updated when it becomes available.
Comparing ISEE to RSP and Insight RS
In addition to RSP’s ability to fully integrate with HP SIM, important improvements over ISEE provided by the two new solutions include:
- Most servers no longer require a specific additional HP remote monitoring agent to be installed and maintained.
- All remote support solutions benefit from automatic software updates and are managed and controlled centrally from your hosting server.
- The central management server hosting RSP and HP SIM is now supplied and maintained by you. This allows you to fully apply your company policies on scalability, patching, virus protection and access control.
