VMware and HP announced joint offerings that enable customers adopt virtualization with greater speed and minimum risk.
The thin hypervisor software - VMware ESX 3i - eases the management of virtual server deployments. The solution tightly integrates VMware ESX Server 3i with server management tools that come standard with HP ProLiant servers.
The two companies have worked together to make available software bundles that combine the VMware Infrastructure 3 software suite and additional automation products with HP Insight Control Environment. These bundles offer customers a complete solution for seamless physical and virtual platform management.
"The unified offerings from HP and VMware help businesses reduce costs and simplify the management and automation of virtual environments, leading to best business outcomes," said Rajesh Dhar, country manager, industry standard servers, Technology Solutions Group, HP India.
He added, "This announcement is a major step forward in accelerating the adoption of virtualization by combining our respective strengths: HP's global footprint with the ProLiant platform and rich heritage in platform manageability, and VMware's portfolio of products for datacenter virtualization, desktop virtualization, and management and automation solutions for both the datacenter and desktop."
This integrated offering enables customers to deploy VMware's base hypervisor within minutes of booting up a ProLiant server, providing greater speed and simplicity for customers new to virtualization, as well as increased capacity expansion for customers, the company said. VMware Infrastructure virtualizes servers, storage and networks to transform manually-intensive datacenters into automated, self-managing virtual datacenters.
The pre-integration of VMware ESX 3i with ProLiant platforms also allows existing VI3 customers to expand their resource capacity with plug-and-play simplicity and also reduce in-house testing and certification.
Customers can also get CarePack support services, sold as options with the base-level offering, and as a standard component of VMware Infrastructure 3 Enterprise Edition. HP offers integrated support of both ProLiant servers and VMware products.
