We also announced several key product enhancements as part of our Adaptive Infrastructure momentum announcement on January 15^th:

• new extensions to Insight Dynamics - VSE, HP Insight Orchestration for automated provisioning, and Insight Recovery for cost-effective disaster recovery
• enhancements to the capacity planning/consolidation capabilities of ID-VSE with support for non-HP x86 servers such as Dell and IBM, providing more on-ramps to industry-leading HP platforms
• expanded hypervisor support for Insight Dynamics - VSE to include Microsoft Hyper-V and VMware ESXi, in addition to ESX
• new flexibility options for the HP Virtual Server Environment for HP Integrity servers include online migration for HP Integrity Virtual Machines and the ability to move workloads on physical HP Integrity blade servers with drag-and-drop ease with the logical server capability
• TCE and functionality enhancements for the Insight Control Environment for an improved purchasing experience and extended remote management capabilities

Of particular note is the new extension to Insight Dynamics -VSE, Insight Orchestration. The Insight Orchestration option is designed to improve data center administrator productivity. With the push of a button, applications can be assigned to physical and virtual servers, as well as to specific storage and network resources - and then returned to the pool when no longer needed.  Want to see how Insight Dynamics -VSE, Insight Orchestration can help you?
