HP Insight Remote Support software
HP strongly recommends that you install HP Insight Remote Support software to complete the installation or
upgrade of your product and to enable enhanced delivery of your HP Warranty, HP Care Pack Service, or
HP contractual support agreement. HP Insight Remote Support supplements your monitoring 24 x 7 to ensure
maximum system availability by providing intelligent event diagnosis, and automatic, secure submission of
hardware event notifications to HP, which will initiate a fast and accurate resolution, based on your product’s
service level. Notifications may be sent to your authorized HP Channel Partner for on-site service, if
configured and available in your country. The software is available in two variants:
•
HP Insight Remote Support Standard: This software supports server and storage devices and is
optimized for environments with 1–50 servers. Ideal for customers who can benefit from proactive
notification but do not need proactive service delivery and integration with a management platform.
•
HP Insight Remote Support Advanced: This software provides comprehensive remote monitoring and
proactive service support for nearly all HP servers, storage, network, and SAN environments, plus
selected non-HP servers that have a support obligation with HP. It is integrated with HP Systems Insight
Manager. A dedicated server is recommended to host both HP Systems Insight Manager and HP Insight
Remote Support Advanced.
Details for both versions are available on the HP website To download the software, go to Software Depot Select
Insight Remote Support
from the menu on the right.
