Today’s data center complexity often leads to equally complex system problems and we all know that troubleshooting them can be a tedious, manual task. System admins need cutting-edge diagnostic tools to quickly find and fix their toughest issues and now HP has exactly that. HP Active Health System is a NEW capability built in to all HP ProLiant Gen8 servers that provides continuous, proactive health monitoring of over 1,600 system parameters. Think of it as “mission control” for your server! 

 

In addition, 100% of configuration changes are logged for more accurate problem resolution. Smart Memory and Smart Drive devices also log failure information to accurately document events and avoid inadvertent reuse of failed components. This information enables you to start problem analysis five times faster than in the past.  Health and service alerts, with precise time stamping, enable you to accurately troubleshoot and resolve issues – and it’s agentless!  In addition, HP Active Health System doesn’t impact application performance.

 

So now you can quickly and securely export the HP Active Health System log to an HP support professional to help you resolve your issue faster and more accurately.  By enabling Insight Remote Support, your HP Service professional automatically receives this data, so you spend less time on the phone with tech support.  Now that’s something we can all appreciate!
