HP Insight Control for VMware vCenter takes System Insight Manager, Insight Control and provides a subset of the information inside the vSphere client, allowing you access to hardware information from vSphere. When you need to make decisions around VM management, you may still need some hardware information, but not the granularity of control found in System Insight Manager. The plugin provides an end-to-end view allowing for some level of hardware insight, storage management, and power controls without needing to understand multiple interfaces. Here LockerGnome's Jake Ludington talks with Steeve Daigle from HP about why HP integrated Insight Control with the VMware API.
