HP has announced virtualization software solutions to simplify, automate and secure the movement of virtual machines and data in Cloud environments. Ethernet Virtual Interconnect (EVI) aims to simplify and speed the interconnectivity of up to eight geographically dispersed data centers. Multitenant Device Context (MDC) software secures multi-tenant Cloud applications. StoreVirtual Virtual Storage Appliance (VSA) supports the building of storage pools on any x86 server using VMware vSphere or Windows Server Hyper-V.
“Clients are seeking a more flexible virtualized environment that enables mobility of virtual machines and data services across the enterprise,” said Prakash Krishnamoorthy, Country Manager, HP Networking, India.
“We needed a centralized, consolidated data-center infrastructure that delivered long-term operational efficiencies to accommodate our network of more than a hundred agencies,” said Jason Cohen, Global Chief Information Officer at Diversified Agency Services, a global marketing services and specialty communication company. “HP delivered exactly that, and the new Data Center Interconnect additions will ensure business continuity by distributing applications and compute resources for our enterprise private Cloud.”
Ethernet Virtual Interconnect and Multitenant Device Context will be available worldwide this fall as software upgrades for the FlexFabric core switches. StoreVirtual VSA will be available worldwide in September with a starting U.S. List price of $700 per license when purchased in multi-license packs.
