Today’s server management challenges

Number of servers that need to be

managed is increasing

exponentially

Valuable Server Administrator time

spent on mundane tasks

Inability to enforce operational and

regulatory standards

Too many disparate tools for

managing server configuration


Industry-leading server lifecycle management for small to medium deployments

Introducing Server Automation Standard

20mins

Setup SA Virtual Appliance

a. Load the VM image to Vmware ESXi environment

b. Power on VM and connect to console

c. Run First time setup on appliance – provide IP address etc.


30mins

Setup Usersa. Create users and assign resource permissions based on their persona and

role.

Deploy Agentsa. Use SA’s automation to deploy SA agents onto target servers

Collect inventorya. Collect detailed hardware and software inventory information


90mins

Import Contenta. Setup patch imports from vendors (Microsoft, Red Hat)

b. Setup Security & Compliance content import from HP Live Network

c. Upload software packages

d. Setup media server for OS Provisioning

Setup Policiesa. Setup patch, software and audit policies to run against different target

servers


10mins

Schedule Jobsa. Schedule jobs to perform OS provisioning, audit scans, patch and software

remediation

Track and Managea. Manage complete lifecycle management for physical and virtual environment

from a single console


SA for modular deployments

(SA Virtual Appliance)

• Customer installable

• Manage 3000 servers in less than 2

hours

• Open source DB – PostgreSQL

• Windows and Linux OS

• Scale with easy upgrade to SA

Work life balance of the Sys Admin


Automate your complete server build

Provision and Configure

Bare metal OS provisioning

• Out of the box content – OS Build Plans

• Configure platform – BIOS, RAID

Deploy utilities and platform

software

• Sequence multiple object types – packages,

scripts, zipfiles, OS objects (registry,

users/groups)

Configure and Personalize

• Template-based configuration

• Inherit customer and facility defaults

Audit and remediation

• Audit ongoing compliance

• Manage drift

Customer example: Too long to build 100’s of servers with

SLES 11.

With HP Server Automation - Reduced server build time by 70%

with automated server build process

Provision &

Configure


Maintain Patch compliance

Patch and Maintain

OS Patching

Ensure OS platform components are updated

on schedule and completely across enterprise

Batch Configuration

Track, Validate and Update configuration state

Software Update

Drive standardization, support technology

refresh and migrations

Batch Execution

Collect information or invoke scripted actions

securely, reliably and repeatedly

Customer example: 6 to 1 reduction in required staff for

OS Patching and SW Deployment

Maintain

Patch &


Deploy Software Updates using Policies

Manage your software deployment

Full featured Policy Definition

• Explicitly control sequence of install or

uninstall of all object types (e.g. packages,

scripts, patches, users, registry entries)

• Leverage attributes for region- or application-

specific tailoring

Enable Incremental Deployment,

Removal and Replacement

• Add Software Components to devices or

groups (or update other Policies)

• Detach Policies to remove software in a

controlled manner (via uninstall option)

Track Usage , Compliance

(Standardization)

• Know where software is deployed correctly

• Reuse policies for deployment, update and

compliance

Customer example: Reduced software deployment to

four hours rather than two weeks increasing staff

productivity

Software

management


Maintain compliance

Industry-standard compliance

policies updated regularly

• Out of the box and ad hoc compliance reports

(PCI, SOX, HIPAA, BASEL II, FISMA, etc.)

Summarize and analyze issues

• Automated change detection, config updates,

provisioning & patching

• Central empowerment to enforce policies and

remediation tasks

• Current and historical compliance information

across the servers

Comprehensive audit, compliance and remediation

Customer example: 32 weeks to run a compliance

audit, with HP it takes 2 days

Audit,

compliance

& remediation


Integrate policy-based automation into VM deployments

Virtualization Template Lifecycle Management

Just in time binding of policies

and compliance

• Capture incremental changes in policies

• Same policies used to create template can be

used to revise both Template and resultant

VMs

• Provides a consistent, reproducible mechanism

for recreating and revising templates

Link deployment to compliance

and maintenance

• VMs inherit association to compliance audits

Eliminates outdated templates and

sprawl

• Policy deployments inherit configuration

attributes for regional, application group

preferences

• Templates only need to provide global standard

so far fewer images to maintain


Summary

• Simple-to-deploy virtual appliance for rapid

time to value

• Unified physical and virtual management

• Up-to-date compliance reporting enables

remediation in minutes

• Open source database eliminates cost of

expensive Oracle licenses

• Very low maintenance for SA doubling the

server to admin ratio you would normally

expect

HP Server Automation Standard: Very low Total Cost of Ownership (TCO)
