This paper summarizes and evaluates the prevalence and efficacy of data center virtualization deployments, as well as the hardware that supports them. The conclusions drawn from this report are based on analysis of both quantitative market research and two qualitative interviews with a CIO and CTO in healthcare and finance, respectively. Each customer, referred to ESG by Hewlett-Packard (HP), had extensive experience deploying both server and desktop virtualization. The goal of the study was to determine the IT and business drivers to adoption of virtual technologies, the expected and realized benefits, ensuing infrastructure decisions,future outlook of the data center, and best practices for deployment.

HP Cloud Solution for Microsoft is designed to provide a scalable, high-performance integrated infrastructure optimized for virtual environments built on Microsoft Hyper-V. Designed and built according to the Microsoft Private Cloud Fast Track reference architecture, HP Virtual System for Microsoft comes standard with Microsoft Windows Server 2012 (which includes Hyper-V) and is designed to deliver top performance for a wide range of virtualized applications, including Microsoft Exchange, SQL Server, and SharePoint. This paper will focus on ESG’s analysis of the costs and benefits—and ultimate economic value—associated with deploying and managing HP Cloud Solution for Microsoft, versus a comparable conventional data center infrastructure comprised of discreet, non-integrated compute, storage, network, and management components.

This paper examines how seven enterprise and midsize companies spanning the equipment rental, healthcare, retail, research, and telecommunications (service provider) industries were able to reduce their annual IT cost to deliver compute services by 58% by migrating to a blade platform.

This paper discusses the Metro Ethernet attributes that provide more flexible, scalable connectivity between your business locations and your data centers than SONET TDM private lines or IP VPNs. Unlike other WAN technologies, Metro Ethernet has some unique capabilities to allow you to more cost effectively connect multiple locations to your data centers.

Selecting the optimal wide area networking service to meet your diverse needs has been challenging given the many choices. However, over the past several years, business Ethernet services have emerged as the optimal choice to best address many applications.

Organizations increasingly utilize the Internet as a critical business tool and Ethernet-based DIA services provide many benefits over T1-based DIA services. The most obvious benefit is higher bandwidth. In addition, Ethernet DIA services enable organizations to more quickly and cost-effectively add Internet access bandwidth to balance their business needs. This elastic bandwidth capability of Ethernet DIA services enables organizations to optimally manage their IT costs while they grow their business. Read this whitepaper to learn more.
