Overview
HPE OneView is an integrated converged management platform that automates tasks and streamlines processes, delivering the entire lifecycle management for HPE Composable Infrastructure. HPE OneView provides software-defined intelligence across the entire HPE family of infrastructure solutions—from providing embedded management in HPE Synergy to delivering attributes of composability in HPE BladeSystem c7000, HPE ProLiant DL/ML/DX, HPE Superdome Flex, HPE 3PAR StoreServ and StoreVirtual VSA, HPE Nimble Storage, HPE Virtual Connect, and HPE Apollo (XL). This instructor-led course is essential training for system, network, and storage administrators using HPE OneView and for system architects implementing HPE OneView.
