Software-defined management, powered by HPE OneView, eliminates complexity by quickly matching physical and virtual resources to bare metal, virtualized, and containerized workloads.\u003cbr\u003eAutomatically discover the available compute-storage-fabric resources, bring them under monitoring, and display them for use in a single management domain. HPE Synergy Composer quickly organizes all types of infrastructure resources for use -- the essence of 'infrastructure-as-code'.\u003cbr\u003eIncrease productivity and control across a hybrid cloud environment by using HPE Synergy Composer to support both current- and next gen- applications, while accommodating diverse infrastructure requirements and service level objectives.\u003ch4\u003eDeploy at Cloud-like Speed and Scale\u003c\/h4\u003eHPE Synergy Composer is a paradigm shift in how to manage infrastructure because it reduces manual interaction and human error, by implementing change operations automatically and capturing the best practices of your experts into templates.\u003cbr\u003ePowerful templates capture best practices and efficiently use resources, including creation of logical infrastructures to provision at near-instant speeds and meet application needs. Templates in HPE Synergy Composer can manage compute, storage, and fabric resources -- and even system images!\u003cbr\u003eScaling is simple and automated. Additional capacity is self-assimilated into larger flexible pools to reduce operational complexity as hardware grows. This capability to quickly add groups of similar physical and logical resources saves time and money as you grow your environment.\u003cbr\u003eAccelerate application and service delivery time by precisely composing and re-composing logical infrastructures at near-instant speeds. Stand up services in minutes with a single line of code and create environments like those of public cloud providers in your own data center on-premise.\u003ch4\u003eAutomate Everyday Operations\u003c\/h4\u003eSimplify IT operations, free stranded capacity, and efficiently manage your environment using the software-defined intelligence of HPE Synergy Composer. Using a single interface for multiple tools allows your administrator or team of administrators to quickly implement lifecycle operational changes.\u003cbr\u003eEliminate downtime with non-disruptive firmware\/driver updates that can update multiple frames to a new baseline while unifying updates for all components. Firmware and OS driver updates are controlled by server profiles and can be staged for activation during a maintenance window to reduce outages.\u003cbr\u003eUpdates, from tested releases of component software, are securely handled using a dedicated data network (separate from the management\/control network) with redundant path configurations. HPE Synergy out-of-band management offers a dedicated 10 Gbps bandwidth for added security and control.\u003cbr\u003eServer profile templates are powerful software constructs which comprehend compute, storage, and network resources for 'infrastructure-as-code' control. Templates ‘monitor, flag, and remediate’ out-of-compliance elements in individual server profiles to aid automation using inheritance properties.\u003cbr\u003eSecure your Synergy systems operations beyond mere perimeter security -- to prevent, detect, and recover from threats. HPE Composer further ensures security by using HPE’s Silicon Root of Trust to validate the firmware in use to prevent tampering. Security for continuous operations is essential!\u003ch4\u003eDevelop Apps Faster and Smarter\u003c\/h4\u003eAccelerate your business with a developer-friendly infrastructure that allows you to automate your operations and applications with an extensive partner ecosystem. HPE Synergy Composer is fully-programmable to your continuous build, test, and deployment of applications.\u003cbr\u003eAutomation is delivered in HPE Synergy Composer by using a Unified API. This RESTful API provides simple access for fast policy-based operations -- which can include discovery, search, inventory, configuration, provisioning, updates, and diagnosis of the HPE Synergy infrastructure.\u003cbr\u003eTraditional environments can automate processes and design workflows to meet their needs, eliminating multiple time-consuming scripting tools and interfaces. Popular tools such as Microsoft Systems Center and VMware vCenter Server use this fully-programmable API to integrate with HPE Synergy.\u003cbr\u003eOperational control and automation of HPE Synergy can be used by applications like Ansible, Chef, and Puppet to achieve productivity for DevOps. Physical resources are presented in the same way as virtual and public cloud resources, so DevOps tools can provision instantly and programmatically.\u003cbr\u003eDevelopers and users can control HPE Synergy infrastructure programmatically using the Unified API to create a hyper-connected data center. Automate operations and workloads, create DevOps-ready infrastructures, construct cloud infrastructure, or deploy containerized micro-service applications.\u003ch2\u003eDescription\u003c\/h2\u003eHow can data center infrastructure be managed like ‘infrastructure as code’? HPE Synergy Composer provides native infrastructure management for efficiently matching compute, storage, and fabric resources to meet any workload. ‘Infrastructure as code’ capability provides on-demand delivery and support of applications and services with consistent governance, compliance, and integration. This is a paradigm shift in managing infrastructure. Software-defined architecture auto-discovers and self-assimilates HPE Synergy resources for immediate use with template-driven operations. This intelligence increases the speed, efficiency, and reliability of operations. HPE Composer deploys, monitors, and updates the infrastructure from a single interface or from the Unified API. HPE Synergy infrastructure supports virtualized, containerized, and bare metal workloads for traditional and cloud environments. Resources can be updated, flexed, and redeployed with minimal service interruptions.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhat is new supporting point:\u003cbr\u003eHPE Synergy management for IPv6-only operations is supported.\u003cbr\u003eHPE Synergy Composer2 enhances performance for faster lifecycle operations at scale with excellent user interface responsiveness.\u003cbr\u003eHPE Synergy Composer2 management appliance delivers an updated architecture with UEFI and HPE iLO5.\u003cbr\u003eManagement access to remote systems using iLO enables lights-out operations (iLO remote access) in HPE Synergy Composer2.\u003cbr\u003eSecure Boot in HPE Synergy Composer2 prevents tampering by validating the OS Bootloader and OS kernel (and kernel modules and drivers).\u003cbr\u003eSecure Start in Composer2 validates the iLO5 firmware and UEFI BIOS using Silicon Root of Trust for attack resilience. Other protections limit access to iLO5 and lock-down the UEFI BIOS and OS kernel.\u003ch2\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h2\u003e","brand":"HPE","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58911201329500,"sku":"872957-B21","price":9000.25,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0962\/1484\/3740\/files\/qf72W93JkkisJEJ1IA7xKg.c-m.jpg?v=1788333718","url":"https:\/\/multiplenetworks.co.uk\/products\/hpe-synergy-composer2-management-appliance-872957-b21","provider":"Multiple Networks","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
