One path of consolidating is converting the physical servers to virtual servers. Virtualization is the pooling and sharing of any IT resources, including servers, storage and networking. Sharing resources in this method reduces costs, makes your IT infrastructures more flexible and assures supply automatically meets demand. In a virtualized environment, traditional computing elements of servers, storage and networking are separated from their physical functions. These IT resources are pooled and shared to meet the changing needs and priorities of a business.
American Digital can help your business plan, implement and operate a virtual infrastructure with solutions from HP. In the server environment, HP offers Integrity Virtual Machines for Integrity servers and VMware for Blade and Proliant servers.
- The HP Virtual Server Environment (VSE) is comprised of multiple technologies, partitioning software and clustering solutions from HP. The VSE creates virtual servers that can automatically grow and shrink based on the service-level objectives (SLOs) set for each application they host. Through tight integration with partitioning, high availability and utility pricing, HP VSE allows you to maintain service levels in the event of downtime and to pay for spare capacity on an as-needed basis.
- VMware from HP is a comprehensive suite of VMware virtualization software designed to virtualize and centrally manage your HP ProLiant servers, HP StorageWorks products, and networking resources.
To reach optimal consolidation goals, American Digital can help you evaluate, design and implement end-to-end enterprise consolidation solutions. We believe that complete planning is the basis for a smooth infrastructure migration.
