Agenda The need for a converged infrastructure How HP IP SANs address today’s virtualization challenges Storage for the virtual infrastructure High availability and fault tolerant designs Disaster recovery HP solution overview Summary and next step

IT sprawl has business at the breaking point Rigid & aging infrastructure Application & information complexity Inflexible business processes Business innovation throttled to 30% Time to revenue Cost of lost time, effort, opportunity Unpredictable business cycles 70% captive in operations and maintenance

Tomorrow’s business will be built on a converged infrastructure Power & cooling Management software Network Servers Storage

HP Data Center Smart Grid  Reduce power footprint and gain management control over ever larger storage systems HP Virtual Resource Pools  Maximize utilization while enabling storage and compute mobility and resiliency HP FlexFabric  Reduce the cost and complexity of storage networking with a dynamic protocol stack HP Infrastructure Operating Environment  Optimize performance and efficiency - simplify deployment of servers, storage, and networking for business applications HP Converged Infrastructure architecture
