Which ICE Suite to chose?

[Drazen Bzik]

Hi,

In customer environment is present various HP ML1xx/3xx series, DL3xx series and HP Blade servers (c7000). Total of 50 servers.

Which ICE Suite is preferred for this case:
a) HP Insight Control Environment
b) HP Insight Control Environment for BladeSystem
c) Must buy both - one for ML/DL and one for Blades

Insight Control Environment (ICE) can be used on 300/500/700 series ML/DL and ProLiant Blade servers. ICE comes with an iLO Advanced license.

Insight Control Environment for BladeSystem (ICE-BL)can only be used on ProLiant Blade servers. ICE-BL comes with an iLO Select licnese.

You could buy ICE to use on all except your 100 series servers, but the price of ICE-BL is less than ICE so you may want to purchase ICE-BL for your blades. ICE-BL is also available at a reduced price when purchased as a bundle with c7000 enclosures.
