The system seamlessly integrates with all standard IT processes, and includes all of the step-by-step guidance, tools, and drivers needed for
deployment and maintenance from the moment an IT administrator hits the F10 key during server boot time. Since these processes live on a
Flash chip separate from the iLO subsystem, businesses can feel confident that updating iLO firmware will not adversely affect HPE IP—they
only need their operating system (OS) to complete server setup.
The HPE iLO 4 subsystem includes a number of features to help automate the monitoring process: health firmware that checks temperature
sensors, power supplies, fans, memory, CPU, and storage; the independent SNMP stack, which eliminates the need for host processing, increases
security, and improves stability, and sends SNMP traps directly to a management application so they don’t affect system performance.
HPE iLO’s optional Agentless Management Service assists IT staff in further resolving their information gap, using a lightweight service
embedded in their OS that feeds data directly to the iLO management processor without additional setup.

HPE Active Health System (AHS) continuously tracks and automatically records changes, and provides a rich set of consolidated diagnostic tools
and scanners for 24x7 system health monitoring—more than 1,800 system parameters at a time. These built-in capabilities provide businesses
with essential information to speed up analysis and diagnosis, while added support from HPE specialists and HPE Authorized Service Partners
helps deliver more rapid problem resolution without impacting server performance. IT administrators can also easily export and upload data
collected by HPE AHS to HPE Service and Support, so they spend less time reproducing or describing errors, and can more accurately
troubleshoot problems when they occur.
HPE offers embedded remote support that’s directly accessible from iLO (as well as OA and IP), without installing OS agents on the device—
greatly reducing the time it takes to activate remote monitoring. With HPE remote support tools—like HPE Insight Remote Support (Insight RS)
software and HPE Insight Online direct connect capabilities—businesses benefit from 24x7 remote monitoring, auto-generated service events
and support cases, and a personalized cloud-based IT dashboard.
With HPE Insight Online, businesses can view device health status and configurations, and securely monitor HPE contracts and warranties for
proactive problem resolution, while the HPE Support Center Mobile App’s Insight Online dashboard helps them stay up to date—from anywhere,
at anytime. With this kind of comprehensive support, businesses can achieve 66 percent faster problem resolution and a near 100 percent
first-time fix rate. HPE Insight Online and related remote support tools are available at no additional cost, and are included as part of an
HPE warranty or support agreement.

The app interacts directly with the iLO processor, providing administrators complete control of their server environment. IT can access
plugged-in servers in a healthy state or powered-off servers with a blank hard drive. The Mobile App allows IT to remotely launch iLO scripts and
monitor their progress, access the iLO Web interface, interact with the server’s OS, and store a list of servers to manage—at no additional cost.
When you pair the Mobile App with HPE iLO Advanced licensing, you’ll benefit from additional features—like a fully integrated graphical remote
console, virtual keyboard, and mouse, plus video recording and playback—to streamline server management no matter where you are.
