HPE Synergy Composer2 Management Appliance

How can data center infrastructure be managed like ‘infrastructure as code’? HPE Synergy Composer provides native infrastructure management for efficiently matching compute, storage, and fabric resources to meet any workload. ‘Infrastructure as code’ capability provides on-demand delivery and support of applications and services with consistent governance, compliance, and integration. This is a paradigm shift in managing infrastructure. Software-defined architecture auto-discovers and self-assimilates HPE Synergy resources for immediate use with template-driven operations. This intelligence increases the speed, efficiency, and reliability of operations. HPE Composer deploys, monitors, and updates the infrastructure from a single interface or from the Unified API. HPE Synergy infrastructure supports virtualized, containerized, and bare metal workloads for traditional and cloud environments. Resources can be updated, flexed, and redeployed with minimal service interruptions.

What is new supporting point:
HPE Synergy Composer2 management appliance delivers an updated architecture with UEFI and HPE iLO5.
Management access to remote systems using iLO enables lights-out operations (iLO remote access) in HPE Synergy Composer2.
HPE Synergy Composer2 enhances performance for faster lifecycle operations at scale with excellent user interface responsiveness.
Secure Boot in HPE Synergy Composer2 prevents tampering by validating the OS Bootloader and OS kernel (and kernel modules and drivers).
Secure Start in Composer2 validates the iLO5 firmware and UEFI BIOS using Silicon Root of Trust for attack resilience. Other protections limit access to iLO5 and lock-down the UEFI BIOS and OS kernel.
HPE Synergy management for IPv6-only operations is supported.
