HP’s Virtualization Bundles Integrate the Virtual Storage Engine
sponsored by Hewlett-Packard Company
| White Paper: | Posted: 16 Feb 2010
| | Published: | 16 Feb 2010 | |
Summary: |
At first blush, server virtualization can be easy. IT managers can take a handful of less-than-critical applications and consolidate them onto one or a few idle, spare, or underutilized servers. Cobbling together a virtual infrastructure in the lab without the management and other add-ons is a relatively simple and inexpensive proposition.
