3PAR Utility Computing with 3cV—3PAR, HP & VMware
With utility computing, organizations can create cost-effective virtualized IT infrastructures for flexible workload consolidation and powering hardware and software as a service. At the core of utility computing is server and storage virtualization. 3PAR® Utility Storage features a highly virtualized, tightly clustered, and dynamically tiered array purpose-built for utility computing.
In addition to combined server virtualization solutions featuring VMware vSphere™, Microsoft® Hyper-V, and Citrix XenServer™, 3PAR Utility Storage is also a part of 3cV, a proven blueprint for the virtual datacenter featuring the combination of 3PAR Utility Storage with HP® BladeSystem c-Class server blades and VMware vSphere. 3cV delivers transformative levels of agility and efficiency to today's most challenging IT environments.
Elements of the 3cV solution include:
- 3PAR InServ® Storage Servers—highly virtualized, tiered-storage arrays built for utility computing. Organizations creating virtualized IT infrastructures for workload consolidation use InServ arrays to reduce the cost of allocated storage capacity, storage administration, and SAN infrastructure.
- HP BladeSystem c-Class Server Blades—the leading blade server infrastructure on the market for datacenters of all sizes. HP BladeSystem c-Class server blades minimize energy and space requirements and increase administrative productivity through advantages in I/O virtualization, powering and cooling, and manageability.
- VMware vSphere—the leading virtualization platform for industry-standard servers. VMware vSphere helps customers reduce capital and operating expenses, improve agility, ensure business continuity, strengthen security, and go green.
3PAR, HP, and VMware work closely together to assure 3PAR Utility Storage, HP BladeSystem c-Class server blades, and VMware vSphere are certified for interoperability. 3PAR is a Premier-level member of the VMware Technology Alliance Partner (TAP) program. 3PAR is also a member of the HP BladeSystem Solution Builder Program.
