HP Insight Control is essential server management 
software that helps deploy servers quickly, proactively 
manages the health of virtual or physical servers, 
improves power consumption, and allows complete 
control from remote locations. HP Insight Control/Insight 
Dynamics reduces operational expenses by $48,300 
per 100 users over 3 years.

 HP iLO 3, delivers remote 

console performance 800 percent faster than iLO 2—so 
it’s as good as being there in person—and 360 percent 
faster than Virtual Media,

2

 so everyday maintenance 

and deployments can be done in a fraction of the 
time. It sends alerts from iLO 3 regardless of the state 
of the host server, and it helps you access advanced 
troubleshooting features. Now, you can manage your 
data center remotely—significantly reducing the expense 
for onsite personnel and the travel time to the server site.

• iLO 3 is a standard component of the HP ProLiant 

DL580 G7 Server that facilitates server health and 
remote-server manageability. Because it includes an 
intelligent microprocessor, secure memory, and a 
dedicated network interface, iLO 3 is independent of 
the host server and its operating system.

• Insight Control helps you manage HP servers running 

Microsoft

®

 Windows

®

, Linux, VMware, and Citrix 

XenServer environments. In addition, you can integrate 
Insight Control with leading third-party enterprise 
management consoles, such as Microsoft System 
Center and VMware vCenter Server.
