How can data center infrastructure be managed like "infrastructure as code"? HPE Synergy Composer2 Plus provides native infrastructure management to efficiently match compute, storage, and fabric resources to any workload. "Infrastructure as code" enables on-demand delivery and support of applications and services with consistent governance, compliance, and integration. A software-defined architecture auto-discovers and self-assimilates HPE Synergy resources for immediate use, with template-driven operations. This intelligence increases the speed, efficiency, and reliability of operations. HPE Synergy Composer2 Plus deploys, monitors, and updates the infrastructure from a single interface or via the unified API. HPE Synergy infrastructure supports virtualized, containerized, and bare-metal environments across traditional and cloud environments. Resources can be updated, scaled, and redeployed with minimal service interruptions.

What is new supporting point:
HPE Synergy Composer2 Plus management appliance delivers an updated architecture with UEFI (Unified Extensible Firmware Interface) and HPE iLO7.
Management access to remote systems using HPE iLO enables lights-out operations (iLO remote access) in HPE Synergy Composer2 Plus.
HPE Synergy management for IPv6-only operations is supported.
HPE Synergy Composer2 Plus enhances performance for faster lifecycle operations at scale with excellent user interface responsiveness.
Secure boot in HPE Synergy Composer2 Plus prevents tampering by validating the OS bootloader and OS kernel (and kernel modules and drivers).
Secure start in HPE Synergy Composer2 Plus validates HPE iLO7 firmware and UEFI BIOS to enhance attack resilience. Other protections limit access to HPE iLO7 and lock down UEFI BIOS and OS kernel.
