HP and VMware have partnered together to bring you an even easier way to reap the benefits of virtualisation. HP provides a one-stop shop for VMware, letting you purchase VMware software and support services from HP, either separately or as part of an end-to-end solution.
HP provides more VMware ESX Server certified server platforms than any other vendor and has developed solutions that integrate VMware technology with industry-standard HP ProLiant servers and StorageWorks products. If you are maximising the efficiency, flexibility and responsiveness of your computing resources, look to HP.
As enterprises grow, IT organisations must rapidly add computing capacity - often in the form of new servers with a variety of operating environments. The resulting server sprawl is costly in terms of capital and people needed to operate, manage, and upgrade new servers.
By consolidating your servers with HP VMware, you’ll be able to: • Maximise server resource utilisation
• Reduce hardware & software costs
• Easily convert physical servers to virtual servers
• Instantly provide new servers from pre-defined templates
When it comes to disaster recovery, the faster it is, the better. Thanks to HP VMware virtualisation solutions, recovery process to uptime is now faster, more efficient, and cheaper! Your hardware and maintenance costs involved can be reduced by up to 70% since identical hardware is no longer needed.
Additional benefits include:
•
Increased flexibility in restoring applications on
hardware independent virtual servers
•
Increased application coverage for more complete
disaster recovery
•
Consolidation of failover hardware with little or no
reduction in the level of protection
Using HP virtualisation with VMware solutions, you can now keep backup copies of critical server virtual machines in suspended state, ready to take over in seconds from a failed primary server. Even better, you can now perform zero-downtime maintenance on live systems for business continuity. If your SLA and application availability is a high priority for you, HP VMware is the solution you need.
Benefits of implementing High Availability infrastructure solution include:
•
Lower TCO from using fewer physical servers
•
Lower acquisition, maintenance, and operation
costs from use of clustering
•
Your failed systems are recovered in seconds, not
hours!
When your server resources are virtualised, your business can respond faster to change and increase its operational efficiency. With HP VMware workload optimisation solution, you get dynamic control of your virtual servers, letting you balance workloads efficiently to deliver on your SLAs, and respond to business demands effectively.
Additional benefits are:
•
Restore virtual machines from backups (that can be scheduled) to any available host
•
Initiate fast SAN-based moves (Stopped VM) to optimise workloads between any available hosts without worrying about similarity of the hosts
•
Make informed decisions on workload optimisation with an at-a-glance view of performance of virtual machine and associated host server
