Today at HP DISCOVER 2011, VMware announced a new collaboration with HP on turnkey solutions to simplify and accelerate virtualization for customers on the journey to cloud computing. Built on HP Converged Infrastructure, the new HP VirtualSystem solutions will be integrated, pre-tested IT infrastructure stacks delivered as appliances that will help improve business agility, lower costs and enable cloud computing for enterprise customers of all sizes.
The new appliances will include optimized, turnkey virtual infrastructure and end-user computing solutions that deliver a full compute stack consisting of server, storage, networking and services from HP and leading virtualization and cloud infrastructure and management software from VMware. Offered in three scalable deployment options that are "right-sized" for customers, HP VirtualSystem solutions with VMware technologies will enable significant savings in deployment time for customers, helping them focus on more strategic projects for their organizations.
"As the IT industry continues to shift from siloed stacks of infrastructure to resource pools that can be shared and delivered as services, customers increasingly need solutions that enable this shift simply and in an evolutionary way," says Gary Green, vice president, Global Strategic Alliances, VMware. "The new HP VirtualSystem solutions build on our strong relationship with HP and will complement customers' existing infrastructure investments while helping them prepare for cloud computing in the future."
"Organizations are looking to deploy virtualization more pervasively without the complexity that sometimes comes with the proliferation of management tools," says Paul Miller, vice president, Systems and Solutions, HP. "To help manage these complexities and simplify the path to cloud computing, HP and VMware are working closely to ensure the new HP VirtualSystem portfolio will help clients achieve rapid deployment, maximum performance and advanced management of their virtualized environments."
VMware and HP solution providers will also benefit from HP VirtualSystem solutions. The integrated solutions will enable them focus on delivering long-term value to customers through their expertise in implementing automated management processes, business continuity for critical applications and dynamic cloud capabilities.
