Intelligent Provisioning

Intelligent Provisioning is a single-server deployment tool embedded in ProLiant Gen8 and later servers that simplifies ProLiant server setup, providing a reliable and consistent way to deploy ProLiant server configurations:

• Intelligent Provisioning assists with the OS installation process by preparing the system for installing "off-the-shelf" and Hewlett Packard Enterprise branded versions of operating system software and integrating optimized ProLiant server support software.
• Intelligent Provisioning provides maintenance-related tasks using the Perform Maintenance window.
• Intelligent Provisioning provides installation help for Microsoft Windows, Red Hat and SUSE Linux, and VMware operating systems. For specific OS support, see the Intelligent Provisioning Release Notes on the Hewlett Packard Enterprise website.
