1 Introduction
HP Application Discovery works from within HP Systems Insight Manager (HP SIM) to give
you the ability to inventory running and installed applications across your system network and
to centrally monitor application activity.
Within VSE Management Software, HP Application Discovery integrates with HP Virtualization
Manager to give you the power to group running processes into custom applications that can
be added to a workload for more comprehensive resource management.
The HP Application Discovery server and user interface run on the
