# HPE OneView

## What is HPE OneView?

HPE OneView is an integrated IT infrastructure management software that automates IT operations and manages the lifecycle of software-defined infrastructure across compute, storage, and networking.

## Why Should You Use the HPE OneView Connector?

The HPE OneView connector provides visibility into hardware, networks, storage, cloud, and security in your environment. You can use this visibility to:

- ensure all assets are managed per your security policies
- ensure all assets have the latest software versions and security tools

## How Does This Connector Work?

Lucidum executes read-only requests to the HPE OneView REST API and ingests only meta-data about HPE OneView devices. Lucidum does not retrieve any data stored on your assets.
