VMware And HP Extend Cloud Computing Agreement

September 1, 2010 by Robin Wauters Leave a Comment

At VMworld 2010, VMware and HP announced an agreement to deliver a new virtualization solution, reference architectures and IT services to help customers accelerate cloud computing deployment and IT as a service.

To help customers better control and manage the physical and virtual aspects of cloud infrastructure, VMware and HP are creating an integrated, comprehensive cloud infrastructure solution combining the new VMware vCloud Director with the HP BladeSystem Matrix and HP Cloud Maps.

The HP Cloud Map for VMware vCloud Director can be directly imported into customers’ Matrix environments to rapidly deploy new VMware vCloud infrastructure. Through the integration of Matrix and VMware vCloud Director, customers can easily scale virtualized resource pools to quickly adjust to changing business demands. The integration will be available as a technology preview by the end of the year.

With the new HP Insight Control extension for VMware vCenter Server, clients can optimize their IT environments and reduce complexity with better management.

HP Insight Control for VMware vCenter Server delivers HP hardware management capabilities to virtualization administrators, enabling comprehensive monitoring, remote control and power optimization directly from the VMware vCenter Server console. With a combined physical and virtual view, clients can reduce server sprawl by monitoring status and performance of virtual machines and the underlying host systems that support them from a single pane of glass.

Integrated troubleshooting, powerful remote control and proactive power management further simplify data center operations while reducing risk and power costs.

VMware and HP will develop reference architectures that deliver integrated, validated solutions for SMB, enterprise and cloud environments and client virtualization. The reference architectures provide an IT blueprint for integrated solutions and deployment best practices.

This makes it easy for customers to implement the right virtualized solution for their business needs with confidence. The reference architectures, which leverage the companies’ 10-year collaboration, will be available by the end of the year.

Under the agreement, HP will provide consulting, integration and support services for customers deploying VMware virtualization software within an HP Converged Infrastructure framework. The new services, which are available today, accelerate customers’ transition to the cloud by enabling data center consolidation and virtual desktop deployment.

Red Hat, HP Optimize RH Enterprise Virtualization for HP BladeSystem Matrix

September 3, 2009 by Robin Wauters Leave a Comment

Red Hat and HP today expanded their collaboration to drive the next generation of converged server, storage and networking infrastructure solutions with the launch of open source software designed to improve administrator productivity, lower costs and maximize resource utilization.

Yesterday, Red Hat announced the availability of Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.4, the foundation of the Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization portfolio of solutions. Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.4 is now available on HP BladeSystem and HP ProLiant servers. With this combination, customers can take advantage of an open source, standards-based virtual infrastructure that provides scalability and security capabilities. Additionally, enterprises will be able to leverage management capabilities offered by both companies. In the future, customers can expect increasing levels of management integration between the system and operating environment to further drive administrator productivity.

The HP BladeSystem Matrix is a “cloud infrastructure in a box” that brings the economics, scalability and response times of the cloud to diverse applications across customers` data centers.

Customers can obtain increased performance improvement and cost savings by deploying Red Hat Enterprise Linux, Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization and JBoss Enterprise Middleware on HP ProLiant G6 platforms. They also can get a single point of accountability for the purchase and support of Red Hat Enterprise Linux on HP systems. With its comprehensive range of world-class support services, HP offers customers complete confidence to grow their businesses while controlling costs.
