Wire-once – change ready connectivity for servers and virtual machines
When connecting server blades to your network, you had two basic interconnect choices—pass-thrus and switches. Pass-thrus are simple but require too many cumbersome cables and create complexity. Blade switches reduce the number of cables but add more for LAN and SAN administrators to manage. In both cases, multiple people are needed to perform very simple server tasks. Only HP offers a third choice—HP Virtual Connect.
Virtual Connect is a major innovation for customers because it provides a better way for IT to work together and offers benefits to all parties involved, without the traditional compromises. It is simply the best way to connect servers to network LANs and SANs for the lowest costs and least amount of power, HP continues to expand this technology and its capabilities across ProLiant, Integrity and StorageWorks product lines. Virtual Connect can simplify and converge your server edge connections, integrate into any standards based networking infrastructure and reduce complexity while cutting your costs.
“Together, the VMware platform and HP Virtual Connect Flex-10 technology can enhance the flexibility of business-critical applications and reduce the total cost of application delivery for customers. HP Virtual Connect Flex-10 helps companies fine-tune network bandwidth and enhance connectivity in virtualized environments while VMware provides a secure virtualization platform with industry-leading manageability and resiliency. This combination has all the ingredients necessary for a cost-effective, highly available application environment that provides on-demand flexibility for enterprise datacenters and cloud computing.“
