The requested HP servers are able to utilize an HP OEM application designed specifically for the DL380 and DL580 servers, namely HP Systems Insight Manager (HP SIM). HP Systems Insight Manager continually monitors HP servers and proactively alerts administrators of potential or actual system faults that could result in unplanned downtime. If a hard drive is about to fail, RAM is not operating within specified parameters, or any of a number of hardware components is not operating properly HP Systems Insight Manager can be configured to page a technician, launch a script or feed diagnostic information to HP Openview products to help technicians monitor the developing situation and make the appropriate changes or adjustments to avoid any downtime. This is an exclusive feature for HP servers and is not available for use on other servers. This is a brand name only justification, no one contractor?s unique qualifications are cited as the basis for this justification. Rather, the products identified by brand name herein have been determined to be the only items that meet the Department?s requirements as a key component of the Departments Financial Management Systems. The financial applications in use have been designed to operate optimally on the servers specified in this request. Those servers were chosen during the development process because they met the application designers needs. All of the servers in use in the Departments Financial Management Systems are HP servers.
