SPP has several key features for updating HP ProLiant servers. Using HP SUM as the deployment tool, SPP can
be used in an online mode on a Windows or Linux hosted operating system, or in an offline mode where the
server is booted to an operating system included on the ISO file so that the server can be updated
automatically with no user interaction or updated in interactive mode.
