It gives healthcare IT professionals the ability to control the infrastructure of their HIPAA-compliance systems

Originally posted in Spanish at http://mrtechpr.com/?p=226%20.

With OneView, an expandable and programmable solution from HP, the door opens for partnerships in the healthcare IT field and HIPAA compliance. This hi-tech industry can have a "whole new conversation" with customers who are being challenged by protocol constraints and safety regulations in the healthcare field and safety of patient or electronic documents. HP studied hundreds and hundreds of different approaches to managing IT more flexibly, and has decided that OneView is the best way to do it.

An HP development team located on the same premises as HP Labs, were, or had been working, on the OneView technology for a period of four years in an attempt to dramatically improve cost inefficiencies around infrastructure management.

OneView, which will be regularly updated with new features and functionality, is ideal for data center convergence and as a private-cloud product. For partners within healthcare IT, it is a great way to get into the data center environment with additional requirements and established regulations, and, in that controlled environment, try to achieve them prior to actual delivery. Many in the field of IT are thinking of how to become more relevant to their customers. They do not just want to push things on them, but are responsible for the security of their systems. HP wants to put a strategy forward for its customers that gives them a reason to keep on playing. Guests from the world of medical data are trying to find, as they move toward hybrid clouds, new applications in the realm of big data. One of the latest products is the integration of SAP and HP HANA. These products can have a control panel that allows management to maintain this at all times, with the ability to control the infrastructure of HP converged systems. They do this so they do not end up with a much more complicated environment. That's what OneView aims for.

Big differentiators for OneView is its modern interface and state-of-the-art Representational State Transfer (REST) web applications program. REST architecture goes far beyond the old-fashioned way of management platforms for HP's competitors. Many companies have management point products, but nothing like OneView.

OneView is just the beginning of an intensified offensive innovation group - HP Converged Infrastructure. OneView is currently working on similar products exclusively within the storage channel, such as the mid-range 3PAR StoreServe 7000, the fastest growing product in the portfolio of HP.

If you can make sure that you understand the workarounds for your challenges, then OneView is very stable.

What is most valuable?

Automation
Simplicity of use
Time saving
Structured
Balanced network application

How has it helped my organization?

For a company like ours, we need to make sure that all of our data and customers are protected. OneView allows us to do that by reducing our stress and time.

What needs improvement?

For future releases of OneView, I would say, let me control my cloud. Let me do stuff from the command line myself. I would love to be able to do simple things from my end with a bit of space to adjust my preferences for myself. Perhaps open the command line for Windows and let me work with it.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

It is stable if you are able to understand how it works. You can’t pretend to come to this new style of IT and have it work the way you did with old technologies. If you can make sure that you understand the workarounds for your challenges, then OneView is very stable.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

As long as you’re running OneView on your private cloud and you have control of it, it's scalable.

How are customer service and technical support?

I don’t like HP support very much, as they tend to transfer me to random places that don’t help me very much.

Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

I used to have a consulting company using open source software for healthcare for small businesses. I wanted to ensure that security was paramount in my business. After I did a risk analysis for a company, I recommended that they move to a private cloud, which was a huge project for a small company like theirs.

HP was their vendor, and they helped them move towards the solution they needed. OneView came out then, and so I checked out HP’s product line for my needs at the time as well.

How was the initial setup?

It’s very straightforward but, unfortunately, not very user friendly. When you’re dealing with private infrastructure, it will always take time to implement from the get-go.

What other advice do I have?

First, that it’s simple. It saves me time and is easy to use. It releases stress for me, and since I’m working with federal law, I really need to make sure that all of my customers and their data are protected properly.

Go to the field and see what the clients are going through. Don’t just use case studies; check for the real stuff. What are others struggling with, and why is that important, and will this affect us? Make sure that vendors can solve real-life scenarios because that’s what you’re struggling with as well.

A stable solution that can be used for environment monitoring, firmware upgrades, and managing servers and infrastructure

Pros and Cons

"The most valuable features of HPE OneView are environment monitoring, the ease of firmware upgrade, and the ability to manage all the servers and the infrastructure from one team."

"HPE OneView should be able to cover more device models apart from ProLiant and Synergy."

What is our primary use case?

HPE OneView is a management interface to manage hardware in a VMware environment. It is used for managing different servers and pushing out the firmware and operating software.

I use HPE OneView for management, performance-related issues, network issues, capacity, costing, and upgrading the firmware for different servers.

What is most valuable?

The most valuable features of HPE OneView are environment monitoring, the ease of firmware upgrade, and the ability to manage all the servers and the infrastructure from one team. With HPE OneView, I can have a competitive review of the system and manage it. The solution allows you to have a hardware profile that you can push through maybe new servers.

The solution provides a single pane possibility of seeing all these servers. The solution also helps monitor, perform an upgrade, and look at resource availability. I use HPE OneView to monitor the system. With HPE OneView, I can manage the hardware, computing, and storage from one software.

What needs improvement?

HPE OneView should be able to cover more device models apart from ProLiant and Synergy. It would be good if we could incorporate HPE OneView into GreenLake. Instead of having everything go to HPE GreenLake Central, we could have access to manage GreenLake through HPE OneView.

The solution's bootup takes a very long time, and it should be reduced.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using HPE OneView for more than a year.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

HPE OneView is a stable solution.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

The solution's scalability depends on the number of servers. We have a few enterprise customers, but the majority of our customers for HPE OneView are small and medium-sized businesses.

How are customer service and support?

The solution's technical support is satisfactory.

How would you rate customer service and support?

Positive

What other advice do I have?

We have integrated HPE OneView with VMware for storage management. Before purchasing the solution, users should first have a very good understanding of it through courses or practical experience.

Overall, I rate HPE OneView an eight out of ten.
