Server Virtualisation

BladeSystems are a natural choice for server virtualisation. By implementing Server Virtualisation from VMWare or Microsoft, companies can virtualise storage, network, power and cooling to increase utilisation still further and reduce costs. This in turn leads to a decrease in hardware inventory and a streamlining of system infrastructure and simplified IT management.

Reasons to adopt Virtualisation on HP BladeSystems.

  • Server Consolidation and Infrastructure Optimization: Virtualisation makes it possible to achieve significantly higher resource utilization by pooling common infrastructure resources and breaking the legacy "one application to one server" model.
  • Physical Infrastructure Cost Reduction: With Virtualisation, you can reduce the number of servers and related IT hardware in the data centre. This leads to reductions in real estate, power and cooling requirements, resulting in significantly lower IT costs.
  • Improved Operational Flexibility & Responsiveness: Virtualisation offers a new way of managing IT infrastructure and can help IT administrators spend less time on repetitive tasks such as provisioning, configuration, monitoring and maintenance.
  • Increased Application Availability & Improved Business Continuity: Eliminate planned downtime and recover quickly from unplanned outages with the ability to securely backup and migrate entire virtual environments with no interruption in service.
  • Improved Desktop Manageability & Security: Deploy, manage and monitor secure desktop environments that end users can access locally or remotely, with or without a network connection, on almost any standard desktop, laptop or tablet PC
  • The Green alternative: saves power and requires less cooling: HP Thermal Logic technology improves efficiency by managing power and cooling. Use up to 30% less power and push less hot air into your data centre.
  • Reduced maintenance costs: support is based on the enclosure not on the 16 Blade servers that can be located inside.
  • Space saving: Up-to 16 blade servers in 1 x 10U enclosure, You can locate up-to 48 server in one 42U Rack

Interested in virtualisation, consolidation, reducing costs, going "Green", upgrading or replacing your current servers, having more control over growing virtual environments?

If so you may be interested in our FREE HP workshop for VMware and Blade systems. These sessions comprise of both presentations and demonstrations to provide an overall view of these solutions. Please contact us for availability.

Attendees can learn how deploying the VMware and HP BladeSystem can dramatically improve their server utilisation rate and therefore performance. The session will also cover the interaction of VMware's virtualisation suite and the HP management tools, which allow powerful control and monitoring of a virtualised environment. You will also get to see the BladeSystems close up and take a tour of the HP data centre.
