  • HP Reduces Customer Administrative Costs and Wait Time with Blade Network Virtualization Technologies 27 Feb. 2007 Vitaly Popovich

    On the heels of taking the No. 1 position in factory revenues and units shipped for blade servers,(1) HP today introduced virtualization technologies that simplify the connectivity and management of its HP BladeSystem c-Class architecture, the company's core solution for the next-generation data center. HP also announced the launch of its first workstation blade for the c-Class blade portfolio, the HP ProLiant xw460c Blade Workstation, to provide users with increased performance and scalability. Dramatically simplifying network connectivity and common server management tasks across the data center, the HP Virtual Connect Ethernet and Fibre Channel virtualization modules enable administrators for the first time to wire just once and then add, replace or recover servers on the fly. In addition to lowering capital and operating costs, the modules deliver simplified management capabilities that reduce the time it takes to execute these actions from hours or days to a matter of minutes. "HP is creating systems that dramatically reduce installation time, cut costs for administration and reduce barriers to change within an IT organization," said Ann Livermore, executive vice president, Technology Solutions Group, HP. "With HP Virtual Connect, CIOs and IT administrators are set to overcome two of the biggest problems of today's data center: administrative productivity and the need to drive rapid change." The new technologies bolster the HP Adaptive Infrastructure offering, which helps customers move towards 24x7, "lights out" data centers, and will add to the company's momentum in the blade server market. According to analyst firm IDC, HP surpassed IBM to take the lead in factory revenues and units shipped for blade servers in the fourth calendar quarter of 2006.(1) "Customers are on a treadmill of complexity and cost that limits the value IT is able to deliver to the business," said Zane Adam, director, Windows Server Division, Microsoft Corp. "HP's new Virtual Connect m

  • HP Makes Data Backup and Recovery Easy for Small and Medium-size Businesses 26 Feb. 2007 Vitaly Popovich

    HP today introduced a disk-based backup and recovery system that makes data protection and disaster recovery simple, reliable and affordable. Designed expressly for the business continuity and IT needs of small and medium businesses (SMBs), the new HP StorageWorks D2D Backup System automates and centralizes backup to provide reliable data protection for up to four servers in a single, secure, self-managing device. The HP D2D Backup System integrates into existing network-based IT environments and can be configured and managed in three intuitive steps. Daily backups become fully automatic, reducing the risk of human error and hardware problems. Restoring lost or corrupted files also becomes easier because backup data is stored online, where it can be restored in minutes instead of hours. The system is also at least 50 percent less expensive than competing systems' list prices. According to IDC, more than 50 percent of small and medium businesses cited improved data availability and recovery as their No. 1 storage management challenge. In addition, data protection and disaster recovery are the top SMB drivers for planned spending on additional storage capacity over the next year.(1) "With our limited IT resources, simplicity and reliability are paramount to keeping the Compass School's infrastructure up and running," said Sal Simili, volunteer systems administrator for Compass Public Charter School in Boise, Idaho. "The HP D2D Backup System allows us to easily backup administrative data and student projects from all three of our servers simultaneously every day, and incremental backups are incredibly fast with a Gigabit Ethernet network." Similar to the HP StorageWorks All-in-One Storage Systems, HP has greatly simplified setup and installation for SMBs with the HP D2D Backup System. It features an iSCSI interface that plugs into a standard Ethernet network and a setup wizard that allows customers with little or no storage experience to configure the device. Consolid
