Understanding our IT business
challenges
•
To be successful, we must ensure that
information is highly available, easily
accessible, and totally secure. Moreover,
we must be able to manage our storage
infrastructure efficiently and cost-effectively.
The possibility of catastrophic events
coupled with an ever-growing volume of
data underline the importance of having
centrally managed and transparently
scalable storage systems.
Toughest storage challenges
•
Run 24x7 operations
•
Comply with regulations
•
Simplify infrastructure
management
•
Consolidate servers
and storage
•
Create an infrastructure
that can adapt

Building on Blades
HP BladeSystems: Integrated server and storage approach
HP BladeSystems
• Industry unique approach to blades
• Integrating, servers, storage, networking, &
management
•
•
Blade servers can run any O/S or
application by keeping data and boot image
in the storage network
Storage enables blade disaster tolerance
Value to customer
• Simplifies consolidation for cost savings
− Blade servers are changing data center
economics
•
Agile infrastructure for change
− Rapid growth & dynamic flexibility
•
Enables business continuity
A complete
BladeSystems solution
with HP StorageWorks
HP StorageWorks 6000
Virtual Library System
Dramatically improves backup and recovery performance
•
Integrating seamlessly into the existing data
protection environment and helping
customers put information to work by
delivering:
− Improved performance
• Backup multiple slow SAN hosts in parallel,
reducing backup times by up to 10x
• Single-file restore and recovery in seconds
− Simplicity
• Provision backup resources in under 10
minutes
• Emulates popular HP tape drives and libraries
− Scalability: Increase capacity and performance
as your requirements change
− Reliability: Protects backup and recovery from
disruptive SAN events

Why all of this?
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
Saves costs of buying more servers just for extra hard
drive space
Allows IT administrators more time to focus on more
important tasks other than managing storage space and
single servers
Allows the IT department to adapt to increasing computing
needs effortlessly
Allows the IT department to plan for future computing
needs without a forklift hardware upgrade
Protects our existing and future investments in technology
Allows for disaster recovery and redundancy at the
highest levels
Allows a failed server to be back in production in minutes
instead of hours
