Improve application availability• Significant increase in

application availability via VMware and HP innovations

• Applications and storage remain online during component failures

Virtualization benefits for small- to medium-sized businesses (SMBs)

Simplify IT• Pre-defined configurations• Sized and validated• HP Insight Control and HP

iLO server management software dramatically simplify administration

• Insight Control and vSOM Analytics give the admin the information they need about the behavior of their data center

Lower cost• Run more virtual

machines (VMs) per server with HP ProLiant Gen8 servers

• 35 percent less storage cost

• HP standards-based networking, managed LAN switches with Lifetime Warranty

Realize the potential of virtualization to reduce costs and improve availability

Let’s take a closer look at your business

• Getting core IT in place

• Little-to-no IT staff

• Decisions are made quickly

• IT covers a lot of things that make the company run

• Adding employees

• Facilities are challenging

Adding:

• Employees, sales team, and customers

• Manufacturing/supply chain infrastructure

• IT infrastructure, integrating security

• Facilities costs

Evolving IT:

• Analytics, business intelligence (BI)

• Productivity solutions

• Business protection, disaster recovery (DR)

Evolving continued:

• More analytics, more BI

• System integration

• More rigorous DR/business continuity, and security infrastructure

Expanding:

• More sites, products, and customers

• More IT infrastructure and applications

• More facilities

Different business phases have different challenges

• Limited server experience

• No dedicated IT staff

• Limited budget

• Existing IT infrastructure not suitable for virtualization

• Not sure about sizing

• Some virtualization experience

• Semi-dedicated IT staff

• IT often put together piecemeal

• Difficulty scaling virtual environment

• Return on investment (ROI), VM density not optimized

• Some sizing has been done

• Solid virtualization experience

• Growth has outpaced infrastructure, resulting in inefficiencies, performance bottlenecks, and availability issues

• Funding IT investments require strong ROI story

• Multi-site complexities

• Risk management (availability, DR) a key concern
