HP Insight Remote Support Central Connect
When you use the embedded Remote Support functionality with an HP ProLiant Gen8 server or HP
BladeSystem c-Class enclosure, you can register a server or chassis to communicate to HP through an HP
Insight Remote Support centralized Hosting Device in your local environment. All configuration and service
event information is routed through the Hosting Device. This information can be viewed by using the local HP
Insight Remote Support user interface or the web-based view in HP Insight Online.
The Central Connect Remote Support configuration is available in iLO 4 1.10 and later, Intelligent
Provisioning 1.20 and later, and Onboard Administrator 3.60 and later.
For more information about the prerequisites, supported hardware, and associated operating systems for
central connect, see HP Insight Remote Support Release Notes on the HP website
( http://www.hp.com/go/insightremotesupport/docs ).
HP Insight Remote Support Direct Connect
When you use the embedded Remote Support functionality with an HP ProLiant Gen8 server or HP
BladeSystem c-Class enclosure, you can register a server or chassis to communicate directly to HP Insight
Online without the need to set up an HP Insight Remote Support centralized Hosting Device in your local
environment. HP Insight Online will be your primary interface for remote support information. The Direct
Connect Remote Support configuration is available in iLO 4 1.40 and later, Intelligent Provisioning 1.60 and
later, and Onboard Administrator 4.11 and later.

HP Insight Online
HP Insight Online is a capability of the HP Support Center portal. Combined with HP Insight Remote Support
7.x, it automatically aggregates device health, asset, and support information from iLO Management with
contract and warranty information, and then secures it in a single, personalized dashboard that is viewable
from anywhere at any time. The dashboard organizes your IT and service data to help you understand and
respond to that information more quickly. With specific authorization from you, an authorized HP Channel
Partner can also view your IT environment remotely at HP Insight Online.
