ProLiant Essentials Performance Management Pack (PMP) is a software solution that detects, analyzes, and explains hardware bottlenecks on HP ProLiant servers. HP Integrity servers and HP Storage Works Modular Smart Array shared storage devices. PMP provides the tools you need to receive proactive notification of building bottleneck conditions, monitor system availability and debug existing performance issues. With the PMP software you monitor performance on one or more servers. The performance information is analyzed to determine if there is a building or existing performance bottleneck issue. You can interactively display this information, log the information to a database for later analysis or reporting, and set up proactive notification using the HP Systems Insight Manager notification mechanism.
Performance Management Pack is installed on the same server as the HP Systems Insight Manager console. There is no software required on the monitored server other than the management agents required for HP Systems Insight Manager usage. There is no software required on the client machine used to view the information other than a browser.

Production monitoring & alerting Production monitoring & alerting Production monitoring & alerting
Production monitoring & alerting – ProLiant customers who are deploying these servers in production environments can use PMP to identify and diagnose problems that can lead to end-user dissatisfaction in many cases before the dissatisfaction occurs. Active notification of building problems can be set up to alert administrators of the issues before the telephones start ringing. Historical analysis of performance
Historical analysis of performance Historical analysis of performance
Historical analysis of performance – Customers whose environments change and grow over time can use PMP to store performance data over longer periods and then report on or extract this information for further analysis. Often this analysis will lead to different conclusions for performance trends in the data centre than originally assumed.
Verification of pilot projects Verification of pilot projects Verification of pilot projects
Verification of pilot projects – By using the static analysis feature – to assure that the initial configuration has no defects – and the dynamic analysis during a pilot project, ProLiant customers can reduce initial rollout complaints while configuring closer to the edge.
Consolidating servers Consolidating servers Consolidating servers
Consolidating servers – PMP can help an administrator determine which physical server loads might be compatible for combination onto a consolidation server. Further, PMP can be used to monitor the consolidated server environment to assure that no performance issues were introduced
