To meet the demand of more flexible and adaptive application environments, the challenge of streamlining organizational structures and workflow processes has forced businesses to look to automation.

HP ProCurve recognizes this shift, now offering the Data Center Connection Manager (DCM); a choice of adaptive enterprise solutions that reduces network complexity and manages operation cost through automated provisioning technologies.

Data Center Connection Manager (DCM) provides automated, policy-based provisioning that reduces both application deployment times and management complexity due to data center virtualization. DCM automates the provisioning of network and server resources in the data center through standards-based technology and supports virtual machine (VM) deployments and their abstraction and mobility from underlying physical infrastructure. DCM is a standards-based solution that integrates with HP Network Automation Software (formerly Opsware) and can operate in a multi-vendor, heterogeneous environment.
