Quick start in software management

HPE Server Automation (SA) enables you to govern the full spectrum of your software management requirements. With SA policy-based software management you can automate software installation and application configuration, and ensure that managed servers are compliant with software policies, as shown in the SA software management process . (See Policy-based software installation and management for more information).

The SA library provides a secure folder hierarchy for organizing and sharing software resources and managing resource permissions. See Software resources in the SA Library.
SA software policies enable you to specify the ideal deployment of an application including all the software packages, patches, scripts, and other objects to be installed on a server, as well as how configuration files for the application should be set on the server. See Software policies and Attaching software policies to servers or device groups.
The SA remediation process installs software and applies application configurations to managed servers according to the software policy specifications, making them compliant. See Remediating managed servers against software policies.
SA compliance scans ensure that managed servers maintain compliance with their attached software policies and application configurations. See Software policy compliance and Software policy reports.

The SA Client is used for managing purchased software packages. To manage and deploy your own custom software applications to target servers in your data centers, use SA Application Deployment. For complete information, see the SA 10.50 User Guide.
