With growing business demands and challenges, you want to get the most utilization out of the servers you have. You also want the flexibility to move your resources and workloads around as needed, to meet your fluctuating business requirements. Consolidating your IT resources from smaller, dedicated servers to a streamlined environment of fewer, larger serverseach capable of hosting multiple applications and workloadscan help you: save money, increase service levels, and reduce complexity. Which vendor can best help you achieve your utilization and consolidation goals? Which company brings a technological advantage to the table that can turn a great idea into a real difference to your bottom line? Before consolidating your IT resources, you need to consider a lot of factors. Without an expert to help you, consolidation can become a complex task. HP expertise and experience, proven by its own IT consolidation, can help you achieve your goals. Lets look at one of the basic enablers of consolidation: server virtualization. The right combination of isolation and flexibility, along with a solid understanding of how virtualization can impact server utilization, is critical to success.
The HP Matrix Operating Environment1 lets us stretch our resources and tailor them to the computing workloads we have at a specific time. Margarida Machado, information system manager, Sociedade Central de Cervejas

Isolation
Flexibility
separate hard partitions from each other, so hard failures are confined to the nPartition in which they occur. For reboots and most hardware upgrades, require only the affected nPartition(s) to be brought down. For resourcing flexibility, dynamically migrate processor core and memory usage rights between nPartitions. Utilize hard partitioning to provide the highest degree of isolation within a server. This keeps IT processes running to support your businessthe key to a mission-critical converged infrastructure.
With HP Matrix OE for HP-UX, your server environment can balance supply and demand based on your business requirements effortlessly, helping your organization reduce costs and increase service levels.
Virtualize with high performance and scalability: With HP-UX Virtual Partitions (vPars), a soft partitioning technology within HP Matrix OE for HP-UX (or HP-UX 11i VSE OE) add finer, core granularity to nPartitions, as well as the flexibility of dynamic resource migration. Run multiple workloads within an nPar or server, isolated within separate virtual partitions, each with their own: operating system, applications and resources. Assign processor core and memory resources to different vPars, and with vPars v6, share I/O resources. Deploy this simple methodology for high performance, high scalability, and predictable resourcing. For flexibility, dynamically move resources between vPars. Virtualize with shared resourcing and mobility: Utilize Integrity VM, a software virtualization technology, to create multiple virtual servers, with shared resourcing and mobility, on HP Integrity servers or nPartitions. Isolate workloads within a VM, each with its own: operating system, applications, virtual resources and users. With Integrity VM, enjoy the flexibility of dynamically sharing processor cores and I/O between virtual machines. Utilize dynamic memory reallocation to easily increase/decrease VM memory, especially useful for disaster recovery. With the virtual network switch, connect multiple virtual machines through a single physical network connection. By putting the VM Host and guests in different Integrity privilege levels, provide a high level of software and security isolation between the VM Host and the virtual machines. With Online VM Migration, move a running Integrity VM, its guest OS, and applications to a different server or hard partition, without an OS reboot or application restart. Reduce management overhead and licensing costs with shared O/S virtualization: Consolidate multiple workloads within a single HP-UX 11i v3 operating system image with the dynamic, shared resourcing of HP-UX Containers. Manage processor core and memory allocations with either a dedicated or minimum share model. Utilize granular resource control to enable applications to run in as little as one percent of a processor core, as with Integrity VM. In addition, this type of shared O/S
virtualization can be configured to provide highly granular security properties. Choose the type of container that best meets your workload requirements, either: workload containers (for easiest ongoing manageability), system containers (for easiest setup and sharing of system resources), and HP 9000 Containers (to consolidate older HP 9000 workloads onto HP Integrity servers.)
