HP has announced new servers that come pre-configured with Microsoft software to help companies deploy virtualised servers more quickly.
HP's VirtualSystem for Microsoft includes HP servers and Microsoft's Hyper-V , and simplifies the deployment of applications including SharePoint, Exchange Server, and SQL Server. The environment naturally can be managed using HP's Insight Control and Microsoft System Center.
The servers provide a path to help customers build private and public clouds and link them together as a hybrid cloud. VirtualSystem for Microsoft uses the same architecture as the HP CloudSystem, which combines storage, networking, and servers to reduce latency when scaling configurations in cloud deployments.
HP and Microsoft are trying to make it easier for customers to move applications to the cloud,
VirtualSystem for Microsoft will be available in November priced from about. It will be offered in two models -- the VS1, for companies that want to host about 750 virtual machines, and the VS2, for companies hosting about 2,500 virtual machines.
VS1 can be configured with up to eight HP ProLiant DL380 G7 servers, 1Gb and 10Gb Ethernet connections, and a P4500 LeftHand SAN (storage area network) that scales from 14TB to 57TB.
VS2 can have up to 12 HP ProLiant BL460c G7 servers, multiple network and storage connectivity modules, and P4800 LeftHand SAN that can expand to 84TB.
