This white paper provides detailed information on how to integrate VMware vSphere® 5.0 with HP P4000 LeftHand SAN Solutions. VMware vSphere is an industry leading virtualization platform and software cloud infrastructure enabling critical business applications to run with assurance and agility by virtualizing server resources. Complementing this technology, the HP P4000 LeftHand SANs address the storage demands and cost pressures associated with server virtualization, data growth, and business continuity.

P4000 SANs scale capacity and performance linearly without incurring downtime, enabling it to meet the requirements of small pay-as-you-grow customers to the mission-critical applications of an enterprise.

I wouldn’t say that if you didn’t have a P4000 SAN that you shouldn’t read this, it still contains an innumerous amount of cool information about vSphere 5 and its storage capabilities. Download the PDF here.

As this is my last post for December, I would like to wish you all a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! For all my fellow Winnipeg people, Jets vs. Penguins tonight! Enjoy the weather as well… and the fact that there is very little snow. I love it!

The new integrated product complements “always-on” IT from VMware for small and medium businesses (SMBs) with highly available storage from HP. It provides backup and recovery with shared storage capabilities to help SMBs start on the path to cloud-based IT services.
