PALO ALTO, Calif., April 28, 2009 – HP today announced HP Insight Control suite for Microsoft® System Center (HP ICE-SC), the industry’s first integrated management environment to lower infrastructure costs and improve uptime of HP server and Microsoft software environments.

By integrating the server management features of HP ProLiant and HP BladeSystem into Microsoft System Center consoles, administrators can gain increased visibility into, and greater control of, their technology environments. This enhanced visibility into the health of IT systems enables a faster response in the event of server failure, reducing the risk of downtime. By automating server deployments and updates, administrative productivity is also greatly improved.

Integrating the HP management tools with the Microsoft System Center solution brings new opportunities for system management and should make it easier to observe the server estate view, and maybe introduce the concept of the application view?  We’ll have to see, I’m off to read up more. Anything the vendors can do to aid systems management and make issues more visible and easy to identify has to be a good thing for the end user community and service providers/vendors alike in terms of systems support.
