The HP Live Network connector and The Acquia Network connector
  Published:2012-05-03 10:28:03   Views:

The HP Live Network connector (LNc) is a dynamic content updating tool that is tightly integrated with a growing number of HP Software products.  LNc's extensible and powerful architecture enables it to concurrently handle different content types for different core automation products so that it can securely transport the published content across the public Internet, and optionally import the downloaded content into the targeted automation product. LNc uses cutting-edge secure hash technology to protect the content updates while being downloaded. LNc is co-hosted on the HP Software primary product server(s) so it scales with the automation product deployment.

The breadth and depth of LNc coverage is steadily increasing and currently includes a number of industry-leading automation management software products including HP Server Automation, HP Network Automation, HP Client Automation and other HP Software offerings.  A variety of free and premium subscription service content is delivered every day via LNc to HP customers' enterprise data centers around the world. An example of premium content is the Security & Compliance content for Server Automation and Network Automation. This content is constantly updated to identify and remediate the security vulnerabilities being identified in enterprise data centers and to keep data centers up to date with changing regulatory standards. Free content services include the automation reports for HP BSA products and enterprise software discovery signatures etc, all of which are regularly updated and automatically distributed via the LNc.

The Acquia Network enhances the Drupal experience by providing the support and network services to operate a trouble-free Drupal website. Subscribers to the Acquia Network gain access to remote network services, documentation and the Acquia Network’s subscriber forums. Premium subscriptions provide web-based ticket management, as well as email and telephone support.

These modules allow you to connect any Drupal 6.x of Drupal 7.x site to the Acquia Network. Acquia also has a distribution of Drupal called Acquia Drupal which is composed of purely open source GPL licensed components. If you are looking for a quick start with Drupal, Acquia Drupal might be of great use for you.
