HP and VMware = higher virtual machine density

VM Density as a measure of successful virtualization
What is VM density?
The number of virtual machines which you can fit in a server without impacting applications.
More VMs per server = Higher VM density
Higher VM density = More consolidation
More consolidation = Greater ROI
Not all VMs are created equal
Different applications have different IO profiles

A virtual infrastructure is only as strong as its weakest link. More often than not, that weakest link is storage. Legacy storage systems, and even some modern arrays, are not architecturally equipped to deliver the storage performance, capacity and management efficiencies required to match those on the compute side of the house, and to make a virtual infrastructure shine.
Taneja Group Solution Profile, Doubling VM Density with HP 3PAR February, 2012

HP 3PAR technologies eliminate storage bottlenecks
System-wide striping VM datastores striped across all system resources for
maximum performance without large capacity purchases
Mesh-active controller design All controllers active on each datastore - entire array is
powering each VM
Mixed workload optimization Sequential I/O does not impact transactional I/O with 4th
generation ASIC

HP and VMware = higher application availability

VMware virtualization reduces business risk
Minimize planned downtime
VMware vMotion & Distributed Resource Scheduler (DRS)
Migrate running VMs to other servers in the pool
Automatically distribute workloads for optimal performance
Protect against unplanned downtime
VMware High Availability (HA) - automatic restart of virtual
machines on other servers in the pool
VMware Fault Tolerance (FT) - creates a live shadow instance of a
VM for instantaneous failover

Matching VMware high availability
An IT system is only as strong as its weakest link. IT departments must understand that server virtualization in high-availability (HA) environments requires HA storage.
