AMSTELVEEN, 27 juni 2008 – HP introduceert nieuwe software waarmee klanten het beheer van heterogene omgevingen eenvoudig kunnen automatiseren. Door nieuwe toevoegingen van HP’s business technology optimization (BTO) portfolio aan het VMware virtualisatieplatform kunnen bedrijven naadloos zowel fysieke als virtuele omgevingen beheren. De oplossingen komen voort uit een nauwere strategische samenwerking met VMware. De nieuwe software omvat:
- HP Business Service Management – monitoren van fysieke en virtuele omgevingen, door middel van HP Business Availability Center, HP Operations Center and HP Network Management Center.
- HP Discovery and Dependency Mapping en HP Universal CMDB – ontdekken van virtuele omgevingen en nauwkeurig in de gaten houden en rapporteren van veranderingen.
- HP Business Service Automation – automatiseren van veranderingsprocessen in virtuele en fysieke omgevingen, door middel van HP Server Automation Center, HP Client Automation en HP Operations Orchestration.
Daarnaast heeft HP met Vmware samengewerkt aan de ontwikkeling van softwarepakketten die de VMware Infrastructure 3 software suite en aanvullende automatiseringsproducten met
HP Insight Control Environment bevatten. Deze pakketten bieden klanten uitgebreid en naadloos management van fysieke en virtuele platformen.
