The Value of Virtualization
Using virtualization of hardware can save a bundle, when having to test new software releases or software patches. But software that provides virtualized hardware can also save a bundle if you know how licensing works on virtual hosts. There are some very attractive license bundle pricing options that make virtualization even more attractive.
Assessing the Real Cost of Storage

EVA Advantage Eliminate Stranded Storage and Boost Performance
This paper will examines the problem of stranded storage and presents array virtualization as the solution.It aso describes HP Enterprise Virtual Array (EVA), which uses array-based virtualization to reduce stranded storage and its associated performance problems.
Fundamentals of a Well-Built SAN
Every SAN is built from a combination of software, hardware, and services, and in this respect iSCSI SANs from HP are no different from any other SAN. But that's where the similarity ends. HP LeftHand SANs use distributed clustered technology to deliver all of the functionality expected of a storage area network. They add the advantage of linear scalability, high availability, per-logical-volume configured reliability, and throughput of 10-Gb/s per node that is aggregated between all nodes in a cluster. Better by design, HP LeftHand P4000 SANs deliver functionality including synchronous replication, asynchronous replication, and remote copy. These are built-in features of a superior architecture
HP storage for VMware virtualized environments
Don't let the hype fool you-virtualization is more than a passing trend. Virtualization can help any size organization consolidate resources, enhance infrastructure utilization, improve disaster recovery and better allocate resources. That's why HP and VMware created a virtualization solution designed for small and medium businesses. This end-to-end solution combines server virtualization software from VMware with the simple allocation and management capabilities of HP servers and storage. At an accessible price point.
Implementing Virtual Desktop Infrastructure
