HP Virtualization Smart Bundles with Hyper-V

The new HP Virtualization Smart Bundles with Hyper-V enable customers to realize the full potential of Microsoft Windows R2. These bundles:

• Decrease cost, complexity and implementation time with pre-sized configurations
• Reduce power consumption by 50% using HP ProLiant G6 Servers with R2 advanced power management
• Improve availability and eliminate the need for additional storage with HP LeftHand SAN

A new end to end virtualized environment that delivers application high availability...Provides server, storage, networking, and software as pre-defined bundle. Certified for Hyper-V.

The HP Smart Bundles with Hyper-V are based upon new Microsoft virtualization technologies from Microsoft contained in Microsoft Windows Server 2008 R2 that deliver LiveMigration and high availability. Many small and mid-sized organizations are using server virtualization to achieve cost reductions by up to 52% – by reducing the number of servers or to provide cost-effective high availability failover. Combined with HP ProCurve networking solutions, an organization can quickly implement a fully virtual infrastructure, with all of its benefits, using pre-configured building blocks.

Key Benefits:

Reduced costs

• A complete solution for virtualization at reduced cost. Simple and predictable standard building blocks of infrastructure means you can scale your environment when needed
• Integrated management software from HP Insight Software and Microsoft System Center reduces management costs for SMB customers
• Managed LAN solutions back by HP ProCurve's industry leading lifetime warranty

Improve application high availability and business continuance

• Current approaches to providing this are complex and expensive so have not been implemented in many organizations
• Applications and storage stay online hardware or even site failures
• Microsoft Hyper-V and Windows Server clustering provides application failover; HP StorageWorks MSA2000 and HP LeftHand SAN solutions provide storage failover
• Network resiliency by supporting redundant links

Deploy with Confidence

• One contract, one contact: HP sells and supports all the hardware operating systems components for these bundles
• Deploy with confidence: HP has defined each configuration to ensure the solution performs and works as expected
• Adaptive networking in support of virtualization provides flexibility through standards-based solutions that adapt to meet the changing needs of users, applications and organizational objectives.

Ideal for...
