HP ProLiant Essentials Rapid Deployment Pack
The RDP software is the preferred method for rapid, high-volume server deployments. The RDP software
integrates two powerful products: Altiris Deployment Solution and the HP ProLiant Integration Module.
The intuitive graphical user interface of the Altiris Deployment Solution console provides simplified
point-and-click and drag-and-drop operations that enable you to deploy target servers, including server
blades, remotely. It enables you to perform imaging or scripting functions and maintain software images.
For more information about the RDP, refer to the HP ProLiant Essentials Rapid Deployment Pack CD or refer
to the HP website (http://www.hp.com/servers/rdp).
