HPE OneView—a virtual appliance that runs on a virtual machine (VM) host – enables you to comprehensively manage a converged data center throughout the hardware lifecycle. HPE OneView makes it possible to easily monitor, configure, and manage physical and logical compute resources through either a graphical user interface or by using REST (REpresentational State Transfer) APIs.
HPE OneView relies on a resource model that reduces complexity and simplifies the provisioning, management, and monitoring of your data center. This model includes logical resources—enclosures, interconnects, server profiles, templates, and groups—that, when applied to corresponding physical resources, provide flexible, repeatable configurations for use in your data center.
