HP Intelligent Management Center (IMC) Standard Edition software represents the next-generation of management software. It offers a comprehensive platform that integrates network technologies and provides full fault, configuration, accounting, performance, and security management functionality for small-to-medium IT infrastructures. IMC Standard Edition is designed on a service-oriented architecture (SOA) using a business application flow model as the core. This allows the fully integrated management of resources, services and users. HP IMC Standard Edition allows an enterprise business to grow its management in scale and seamlessly accommodate new technologies. It is compatible with Microsoft Windows operating systems and supports the management of HP and third-party devices, supporting up to 100 managed devices. Additional node licenses can be purchased to extend the node limit. Licensing is based on the number of devices requiring management.
