Why should you Virtualize?

• Reduce hardware and operating costs by as much as 50% and energy costs by 80%, saving more than $3,000 per year for every server workload virtualized
• Reduce the time it takes to provision new servers by up to 70%
• Decrease downtime and improve reliability with business continuity and built-in data disaster recovery
• Deliver IT services on-demand now and in the future, independent of hardware, OS, application or infrastructure providers

Increase Server Utilization to as Much as 80% and Eliminate Over-Provisioning

Reduce Hardware Requirements by a 10:1 Ratio or Better

Cut Hardware & Operating Costs in Half

Virtualisation as easy as ABC

Virtualization in 3 simple steps
Step A: Capacity Planning	Step B: Implementation	Step C: Migration & Ongoing Maintenance
We measure your server utilization and give you advice on which servers you can virtualize	Based on the utilization report, we will quote you on the most suitable equipment and Virtualization platform	Migrating the current servers into a virtual environment is very simple using the tools provided, but if you need a hand we do have qualified engineers on stand-by. VMware is known to be the best Virtualization vendor

HP P4300 6TB Left Hand SAN HP LeftHand P4000 enclosure with 8x 750GB 7.2K SATA HDD All inclusive HP SAN/IQ software 3 Year 4hr 13X5 onsite support with software updates

Perfect for first time virtualization projects, the HP P4300 SATA Starter SAN delivers the performance and features required to simplify storage and grow non-disruptively with your environment.

All inclusive feature set enables enterprise functionality at an affordable price

• Storage Clustering simplifies scalability:  Storage Clustering allows a customer to consolidate multiple storage nodes into pools of storage. All available capacity and performance is aggregated and available to every volume in the cluster. As storage needs increase the HP P4000 can scale performance and capacity on-line.
• Network RAID delivers new level of availability: Network RAID stripes and mirrors multiple copies of data across a cluster of storage nodes, eliminating any single point of failure in the HP P4000 SAN. Applications have continuous data availability in the event of a power, network, disk, controller, or entire storage node failure.
• Thin Provisioning increases storage efficiency: Thin Provisioning allocates space only as data is actually written without requiring pre-allocation of storage. This raises the overall utilization and efficiency of the HP P4000 SAN, reduces costs and ultimately increases the ROI.
• Snapshots simplify data protection: Snapshots create thinly provisioned, instant point-in-time copies of data on a per-volume basis. Administrators can access the snapshots to recover individual files or folders from the volume, or rollback an entire volume to a prior state.
• Remote Copy reduces costs for disaster recovery: Remote Copy replicates snapshots between HP P4000 SANs at primary and remote locations. Copies are thinly provisioned with no space reservation required at the remote location. Remote Copy enables centralized backup and disaster recovery on a per-volume basis.

Superior availability and disaster recovery

• Data remains available during site failures: HP P4000 SANs stripe and mirror multiple copies of data across a cluster of storage nodes, eliminating any single point of failure in the SAN. Applications have continuous data availability in the event of a power, network, disk, controller, or entire storage node failure.
• Integrated replication for disaster recovery: HP P4000 SANs include integrated replication at no additional cost that simplifies management with simple failover and failback.
• Change configurations without incurring downtime: Administrators can add capacity, increase performance, grow and migrate volumes between HP P4000 SAN clusters on the fly with no application downtime.

Scalable Performance

• Purchase only what you need today: Avoid up-front cost and the potential performance constraints. Purchase only what’s needed today, then grow the performance, capacity, and redundancy of your HP P4000 SAN online as storage requirements evolve. Buying storage only when needed simplifies planning and relieves budget pressures.
• Scale performance and capacity simultaneously: Each time a storage node is added to the HP P4000 SAN, the capacity, performance, and redundancy of the entire storage solution increases.
• Avoid disruptive upgrades: Add resources to the HP P4000 SAN non-disruptively as capacity and performance requirements increase. Applications remain online during maintenance events for best in class availability.

Easy to manage SANs for virtualized environments

• Centralized Management Console: Multiple data centers and sites can be managed from an all inclusive “single pane-of-glass.” All of the HP P4000 SAN features are managed from the Centralized Management Console (CMC) for simple, easy-to-manage storage.
• Business continuance with integrated HA and DR: Every HP P4000 SAN includes integrated synchronous and asynchronous replication at no additional cost. This approach reduces costs and simplifies management of high availability/fault tolerant and disaster recovery storage solutions.
