HP Insight Server Migration software for ProLiant
The HP Insight Server Migration software for ProLiant (SMP) enables administrators to upgrade or replace
an existing server through server migration. SMP provides an automated, accurate, and affordable
method of migrating existing servers and their content to the latest server technologies.
SMP automates the migration of the operating system, applications, and data from one server to another
without errors, eliminating the need for manual redeployment of these elements on the new server. During
the migration process, the software automatically loads new drivers, required for boot, on the destination
server. The wizard-based user interface simplifies the migration process and requires little experience or
training.
For more information about the SMP, see the HP website
