Hi, I'm John Schmitz
and I run the server management business here at HP.
As customers rely more and more on their IT technology to run their
businesses,
one of the big challenges is
being able to manage their ever growing infrastructure.
The complexity of this can be overwhelming!
Growth and success hinge on driving innovation to refocus your view on
information technology,
and see it
as a way to drive competitive differentiation.
Now HP has extended its long-term partnership with Microsoft
to deliver new solutions built on the next generation infrastructure to
application model,
which is designed to greatly simplify your technology environment and advance
your move to cloud computing.
HP and Microsoft recognize
that it is the management tools that really enable you to take control of
your IT management challenges.
One example is Microsoft System Center
along with HPs Insight Control.
That integration provides easy to use tools
that allow customers to manage their physical and virtual environments
from a single pane of glass.
This means that they won't have to use one set of tools to manage their
physical infrastructure
and another set to manage the virtual environment.
HP Insight Control for Microsoft System Center
extends the best managed ProLiant experience
for customers
who have standardized on a Microsoft System Center management platform.
Insight Control from Microsoft System Center is included with HP Insight
Control,
so there is no additional software purchase.
That's another reason to include Insight Control licenses in every ProLiant
server sale you make today.
These HP components integrate directly into Microsoft System Center consoles
so customers don't have to spend time and effort to learn new tools,
and they help with the entire system life cycle management
including things like proactive monitoring and management
quick and reliable deployment,
and simplified driver and firmware updates.
With HP Insight Control for Microsoft System Center,
you not only respond to business needs, you also
free up valuable resources to help drive your business.
By integrating the server management features of HP ProLiant and
BladeSystem into Microsoft System Center consoles,
server administrators can gain greater control of their infrastructure,
take advantage of the deep insight and precise control provided by the
extensions
to Microsoft System Center.
This will provide consistency for software deployment and updates, and it'll
enable a faster response in the event of a server failure, reducing the risk
of down time.
Overall, this results in increased IT staff efficiency and additional cost
saving,
leaving more time for those innovative IT projects
that always seem to fall under your cutline.
But remember that the whole thing is tied together with the management tools.
So if a customer is using Microsoft Hyper-V virtualization on ProLiant,
the logical management tool set is Microsoft System Center combined with HP
Insight Control.
A virtualized environment by itself can't provide the benefits to the customers
without the proper management tools.
Including Insight Control licenses with each ProLiant sale provides not only
Insight Control for Microsoft System Center integrations,
but also provides a full suite of essential server management that unleashes the
management capabilities
built into every ProLiant Server.
HP and Microsoft have been closely collaborating
for over twenty five years as part of the HP Microsoft Frontline Partnership.
The strength of this work is evident in the strong management tool integration
that both extends and compliments Microsoft System Center and HP.
Working together with HP and Microsoft,
we can help customers like yourself
realize the tangible benefits of virtualization.
