Utility Computing with 3PAR & Egenera

The ChallengeWhen highly virtualized 3PAR^® Utility Storage is combined with robust server virtualization, the result is a complete utility computing solution. Server and storage consolidation promises to deliver cost savings and operational efficiency in the datacenter. But consolidation using traditional architecture may not produce the desired results.

With traditional storage architectures, applications are tied to physical servers and capacity allocation is tied to physical disk drives, resulting in:

• Poor provisioning
• Poor asset utilization
• Management complexity

Unique Solution BenefitsEgenera^® and 3PAR deliver utility computing for datacenters. The combination of the Egenera BladeFrame and 3PAR Utility Storage delivers advanced server and storage virtualization, overcoming the limitations of traditional architectures by allowing customers to fluidly align IT resources with business initiatives. The result is lower cost, improved responsiveness, and unique competitive advantageg.

Unique benefits of this combined solution include the following:

• Automated provisioning—Substantially improve IT service levels to meet business needs.
•  
• Simplified management—Reduce the time, cost, and expertise for IT management, planning, and training from weeks to minutes.
•  
• Dynamic assignment of resources and only as needed—Cut IT capital costs in half. Drive IT asset utilization closer to 100%.
•  
• Minimized floor space consumption—Use the Egenera BladeFrame and 3PAR Utility Storage to reclaim half of your datacenter floor space. Deploy scalable utility computing in just two floor tiles!

3PAR is a member of the Egenera Accelerate Alliance Program. 3PAR and Egenera work closely together to assure 3PAR Utility Storage and Egenera BladeFrame systems are certified for interoperability. Learn more »
