Overview
Delivered out of the box as a pre-integrated platform, the BladeSystem Matrix creates pools of server, network, and storage capacity to be dynamically provisioned to run your applications on up to 1000 physical or virtual servers; all managed as one environment. Ideal for simplifying consolidation initiatives, high availability protection and rapid deployment to production environments, the BladeSystem Matrix unites the tools, processes and architecture of your physical and virtual worlds to speed time to service delivery without chaos, take costs out today and keep them out tomorrow.
Optimized, continuous consolidation
- Unified tools to freely move and balance workloads across physical and virtual servers
- Built-in capacity planning for all servers and Smart Solver technology gives best-fit advice for utilization of capacity
- Accelerate and standardize your process for migration from rack servers to blades
- Provide affordable N+M high availability and disaster recovery-ready protection to all applications
Implementing internal cloud hosting or shared services models
- Enforce your best-practice architectural designs and processes
- Simplify service and application delivery to lines of business
- Free time for consultation to the business versus focus on infrastructure integration and maintenance
Outsource service providers
- Provide streamlined service delivery with self-service portals for dedicated customers
- Improve forecasting and capacity planning to your customers
- Expand with virtualization infrastructure and cloud-like solutions
Key Benefits
The key benefits of Matrix are three-fold. Less cost to buy from a converged and consolidated infrastructure with virtualized network, storage and compute. It accelerate delivery of services to your business with template-based provisioning and automation. It helps you continuously optimize the use of resources with tools like capacity planning and Thermal Logic technologies that apply intelligence to the problem of datacenter power and cooling.
Bring predictability to infrastructure service delivery with orchestration that turns best practice design into best practice operations
- Create a catalog of templates for all your application infrastructures: Remove risk and guesswork related to application infrastructure planning and provisioning based on your defined operational processes
- Self-service portal for push-button provisioning of infrastructure: Reduce time to service delivery to line of business from weeks and months to days and hours while enforcing your architectural standards
- Application mobility for physical and virtual infrastructure: Deliver and affordable N+M failover and disaster recovery protection to your applications
- Easy to buy building blocks of infrastructure: Simple and predictable standard building blocks of infrastructure means you can scale your environment when needed
Harvest untapped resources, improve utilization of existing capacity and gain a better understanding of ongoing infrastructure costs
- Consolidate all resources into a single Matrix environment: Align infrastructure capacity for your applications on the fly, then adapt resources to deliver better costs, availability and quality of service
- Built-in capacity planning of infrastructure resources: Simplify planning and forecasting with deep insight into compute and storage usage, power, network bandwidth.
- Just-in-time allocation of resources: Gain fast and accurate recommendations to know where best to host workloads and what to do when complex workloads need to move
- Converged, virtualized network: Consolidate network equipment costs 4 to 1 and dynamically allocate network bandwidth where needed most
- Sophisticated power management: Triple power capacity of your infrastructure with dynamic power capping and capture historical power usage for more accurate planning
Simplify the deployment, integration and expansion of an adaptive infrastructure out of the box.
- Matrix Starter Kit: Includes all management, networking, implementation services, and infrastructure for up to 16 server blades to work with a supported SAN -- or add the option of a StorageWorks EVA4400 SAN. Ideal for starting your BladeSystem Matrix environment.
- Easy Matrix Expansion Kits: Add to your Starter Kit environment to scale capacity up to 1000 blades or virtual servers in a single managed domain
- Factory integration combined with expert end to end implementation services included: Project-managed configuration, implementation and orientation.
- Flexible, Instant Capacity delivery and financing: Simplifies capacity forecasting and provides just-in-time delivery of ready-to-run infrastructure that you only pay for as you grow with 0% lease, buy-back and trade-in programs available (programs vary by region).
- Supported by HP Solution Builder partner program: Ensures integration with third-party applications, networks and storage of your preferred partners and brands.
