HP VirtualSystem for VMware Launched in India
Bangalore: HP today announced the launch of HP VirtualSystem for VMware, a highly-optimized, turnkey solution that gives organizations a virtualized infrastructure. "Virtualization has become mainstream for clients, but there are obstacles when it comes to broad deployment. With HP VirtualSystem for VMware, clients can simplify and scale their virtualization deployments to provide a clear path to the cloud," says Prakash Krishnamoorthy, Country Head, HP Storage Division India. While asked about the prospects of Virtualization in a world that is getting conquered by cloud computing, Krishnamoorthy was quick to add that their product is not a competition or a substitute for cloud, rather a transition phase. "Those who want to deploy cloud will not go directly and do it; it is a step by step process. They can virtualized their core processes first and then go on with adopting cloud," says Krishnamoorthy. "This can also be the basic infrastructure for the companies that wish to deploy cloud and so this is not a cloud vs. virtualization scenario," adds Ganesan Arumugam, Director - Partners, VMware. This new product is built on HP Converged Infrastructure, and features architectural innovations and services that help eliminate virtualization complexity, consolidate IT infrastructure and improve performance. "By using this our clients can accelerate virtual machine mobility by up to 40 percent, double throughput, reduce network recovery time by more than 500 times, cut capacity requirements by 50 percent, double virtual machine density, speed deployment, and improve virtual server operations," says Krishnamoorthy. Virtualization has gained adoption, multi-tier network architectures, virtual sprawl, inflexible storage, unpredictable workloads and security concerns have increased complexity and limited broad deployment. "Companies need solutions that enable them to move from siloed stacks of infrastructure to pools of technology resources that can be shared and delivered as application services in real time. With this new product, customers can actually streamline their virtualization projects today and transition to cloud computing in the future," says T.Srinivasan, Mananging Director - India & SAARC, VMware.
