SmartStart Software
SmartStart is a collection of software that optimizes single-server setup,

has been tested on many ProLiant server products, resulting in proven, reliable
configurations.
SmartStart assists the deployment process by performing a wide range of
configuration activities, including:

and ORCA

operating system software
