Overall Satisfaction with HPE Systems Insight Manager (SIM)

We are seventy Prolian DL 380 that uses for our backup solution. This servers have its Network Managment Card, the ILHO Enterprise are its solution.We use HPE Systems Insight Manager for monitor and control usind de SIM Client run over the IHLO Cards and connect to HPE Systems Insight Manager Server deploy in a Host RedHat Linux Enterprise. The principal problem that resolv is join in one point of view for the System Administrator the all hardware events making for the servers's farm.

Pros

  • One point of view the events of servers's farm.
  • Tools that show an inventory update of hardware componenet of each servers.
  • Include a wonderful module that permit to upgrade remotely the firmware of all of them.

Cons

  • Proactive fail detection over power unit in DL 380 Server. The fail happened at night and the events was visible by SIM.
  • Monitoring of contrat support expiration for server's farm by SIM and notifiy next expiration contract by mail or SIM`s console.
  • Massive upgrade from one console to all of server connect so SIM
  • Reduce the complexity of make updated an device inventory. Speciaclly for big technology platform.
  • Make more easier stressfull firmware update tasks.
  • Help to Technical area to make reports of policy compliant.
The gui is really useful to do many things. We are a compliance team that hace a reduce user con this platform that they are using on its monsthly technical audit. Ther are very happy with SIM.
In the other hand, they are a sysadmin teams that usually use SIM all of day to detect a reporte to HPE Technical Support for hardware fail.
All of then are on the moon with SIM.
The project of deploy SIM in our company came from one project to buy HPE Hardware and sevice for Data Center.Fastly we knew that the potenciality of this product over the new HPE's servers, switches and storages.Nowaday, our Data Centers have device from different vendors like Lenovo, Dell and HPE. For example we have Dell OpenManage for managing Dell Powereldge servers. And in comparative with SIM is useless for no technical user.
