HP Server virtualization with VMware |
|
|
Managing server usage can be an issue whether you have many dedicated, single-use servers, or a few multi-use servers in your racks. The need for a separate development and testing server, for instance, disappears with server virtualization - spreading the workload among several partitioned servers using shared network and storage ports. HP Server Virtualization with VMware provides all the software, tools, and support necessary to increase your system's scalability and utilization.
With HP Server Virtualization with VMware, you:
|
|
• |
Minimize new hardware purchases by hosting several virtual servers on one physical server. |
|
• |
Set up and manage virtual machines quickly and transition them to full use in a fraction of the time it takes to set up physical servers. |
|
• |
Manage disaster recovery sites using fewer servers than are used at your primary site. |
|
• |
Consolidate clients on high capacity servers, reducing the cost to maintain and manage them. |
|
