"Today's announcements further extend HP's long-standing relationship with VMware to
simplify the implementation of the software defined datacenter and cloud environments,"
said Neelam Dhawan, Vice President & General Manager, Enterprise Group and Country
Managing Director, HP India. "These products, services, solutions and reference
architectures will provide customers with the building blocks to transform to a hybrid
infrastructure foundation to efficiently power the apps and workloads that run the
business."
HP, VMware Expand server OEM Agreement to Accelerate Network Virtualization Adoption
HP and VMware are also announcing the industry's first sales, support and go-to-market
agreement for the VMware NSX(TM) network virtualization platform to help customers
accelerate the deployment of new high-performing applications, simplify data center fabric
and operations and improve security. This agreement builds upon the previously announced
HP-VMware NSX(TM) networking solution and includes a complete, end-to-end network
virtualization consulting and support capabilities.
In addition, HP's hardware L2 GW solution, based on HP FlexFabric 5930 switch OVSDB
and VMware NSX integration, as well as the industry's first jointly developed federated HP
software-defined networking and VMware NSX network virtualization solution enabling
seamless integration of physical and virtual data center infrastructure, will attain
VMware certification.
"The software-defined data center enables companies to evolve beyond hardware-centric
architectures to create an automated, easy to manage hybrid cloud platform that can meet
the demands of both traditional and emerging cloud-native applications," said Carl
Eschenbach, President and Chief Operating Officer, VMware. "VMware and HP continue to help
our mutual customers drive innovation with greater speed and scale."
New Virtual Desktop Infrastructure Solutions Deliver Unprecedented Density,
Performance
To enhance the value of workplace productivity, HP is introducing more flexibility and
choices of end-user computing solutions with VMware Horizon(R) 6.1 and NVIDIA GRID to
deliver the broadest choice and highest density graphics virtualization options in the
industry.
Powered by HP OneView, the new system gives customers a single management interface.
Optimized for VDI use cases, these solutions provide variable, full lifecycle support
options and open interoperability with third party top-of-rack networking switches and
hypervisors from leading vendors.
These end-user computing solutions can support up to 3,500 users and are fully tested
to run desktop virtualization applications at optimal performance, helping customers
reduce provisioning time, cost, setup and installation errors. Each solution has the
flexibility to be built and delivered directly from HP or by a certified channel partner
aligned to the specific needs of the customer's data center, freeing up time and
resources.
Transforming to a Hybrid Infrastructure
HP extends the Converged Architecture partner program with the new Converged
Architecture 700 (CA700). Built on HP BladeSystem, HP 3PAR Storage, HP OneView and
integration with VMware vSphere(R) and VMware vRealize(TM) Operations(TM), the CA700
offers simplicity with the only integrated system with converged management across compute,
storage and fabric. Ideal for private clouds and enabling mobile workforce and mixed
workloads, customers may experience infrastructure their way, as a single integrated stack
built and delivered by the certified channel partner of their choice, saving time and
resources. Â
The CA700's integrated stack enables VMware administrators to simply manage the entire
stack as one. From the vSphere console, VMware administrators can deploy and expand
clusters and perform day-to-day operations across the entire stack. This integration of
one infrastructure with one management platform enables customers to focus on applications
and meeting business needs.Â
