SIM or Insight Control or Insight Dynamics?

Joshua Post — Wed, 31 Mar 2010 20:10:47 GMT

I just got an e-mail letting me know that Insight Software 6.0 has been released. I see several products that I'm not familiar with and I"m wondering what the difference between them is. I'm looking for the program to manage my HP servers to make updating drivers easier and to help monitor and proactively let me know about things going on.

Is what I'm looking for:
Systems Insight Manager
Insight Control
Insight Dynamics

I tried SIM 5 and was very confused about how to set it up, but I didn't really put more than a few hours into it. What product will do what I'm looking to do?
