HP Data Center Connection Manager ONE Software is designed to formalize the workflow process between network and server IT teams for application provisioning, as well as to help organizations control costs by providing policy-based automation of networking and server resources in the data center. DCM ONE software maintains policy connection states for physical as well as virtual servers wherever they connect in the data center and provides detailed compliance information linking applications to their infrastructure dependencies. DCM ONE software is standards based and enables better capacity management and troubleshooting through the use of a connection inventory database.
Data center optimized
• Requires HP E5400/E8200 zl series switches and HP AllianceONE Services zl Module: DCM ONE software is an application designed to run on the AllianceONE Services zl Module for improved integration and resiliency with ProCurve chassis switches. The AllianceONE Services zl Module fits the E5400/E8200 zl series switches.
Management
• Automated policy-based provisioning: DCM ONE software automates the provisioning of resources in the data center, including servers, edge network, and core network devices based on predefined connection policies.
Device support
• Remote configuration and management: Provided through a secure Web browser interface.
HP ProCurve ONE integration
• Supports multivendor equipment configuration: Configures edge switches: Any standards-based, RADIUS-compliant edge switch can be configured by DCM ONE software policies.. Configures servers and VMs: DCM ONE software policies can manage network and IP settings for any standards-based server or VM.. Configures centralized data center devices: Used with HP Network Automation software (HP NAS), DCM ONE software policies can affect changes on a wide range of data center devices..
Product Architecture
• Flexible data structure: Policies are defined using a flexible data structure that easily maps to existing organizational structures and roles and responsibilities.
Technical features
• RADIUS-based policy enforcement: RADIUS-based authentication of servers and VMs when they connect provides consistent policy delivery anywhere in the data center. Configuration parameters are delivered to the edge device through standard RADIUS attributes.
