20% of all businesses are now fully virtualised with more contemplating adoption of the technology on a daily basis. Many common pains raised by clients who have already taken the plunge into the virtual world are; inflexible storage, unpredictable workloads and security issues which have in turn increased complexity and in many cases limited broad deployment of the technology.
HP aim to simplify and speed up the management of virtual machines by the integration of their VirtualSystem line into VMware’s tools, meaning they can now provide a complete hardware and software package designed specifically to run VMware virtualised server deployments as part of their Converged Infrastructure offering.
VirtualSystem server stacks come as completely pretuned, pre-built hardware consisting of servers, storage and networking as well as management tools and licenses courtesy of HP and VMware. The stacks are available in 3 sizes, the entry level being the VS1 which consists of eight of HP’s two-socket DL380 G7 servers with a total 96 cores running at 3.46GHz, 1.54TB of main memory, and 2.34TB of total local disk capacity.
