Linux workstation/client management

Hi,

I'm new here and I wonder if HP has Linux versions of this type of software available:

It boils down to being able to configure BIOS settings from the OS, so that these can be centrally managed and rolled out e.g. using puppet.

I'm looking for the HP equivalent of this software for Dell workstations:
