HP Software provides virtualization management solutions to help control virtual server sprawl. Their solutions help reduce operational costs and risks by automating tasks like patching, provisioning, and compliance management across physical and virtual environments from a single pane of glass. Key capabilities include lifecycle automation for VMware ESX and Solaris containers, including creating, modifying, deleting, powering on/off virtual machines, auditing, and trend reporting. This helps address challenges of managing the growing complexity in virtualized environments.
