Simplify your network connections with HP Virtual Connect
Advances in technology should make life easier and boost business, although not necessarily in that order! This is why at LETN we’re excited about HP Virtual Connect.
The IT giant, HP, has come up with a technology to simplify the connections between your blade servers and your local area network (LAN) and storage area network (SAN). With HP Virtual Connect, your life is easier, and you can save your business a lot of money.
Blade servers and HP Virtual Connect
A blade server is a server computer minus unwanted extras. It cuts back on space and power use compared to a conventional rack server.
Blade servers bring benefits to your business. But you still need cables, modules and switches for network connections. As a result, when you add or replace a server, someone has to coordinate work between network, server and storage administrators. This takes time and effort. HP Virtual Connect cuts back on both.
HP Virtual Connect allows you to make straightforward connections between your servers & storage and your LAN / SAN, it does this without requiring complex work from your administrators.
The modules of HP Virtual Connect make the job of managing servers flexible and simple. HP Virtual Connect reduces administrator workload, saves money and increases productivity.
HP Virtual Connect and failed servers
With HP Virtual Connect, you have a management console. The console lets yobacon figure protection for 16 server blades with just one standby server. And you can switch from the failed server to the hot spare with ease reducing recovery times and Adminstrator involvement.
Costs for networking virtual servers
You may already know how server virtualisation saves money. But the price of networking virtual servers is alarmingly high. HP Virtual Connect cuts these networking costs.
Thanks to HP Virtual Connect Flex-10, you can use more virtual servers on your network without the expense of replacing network equipment. Put another way, you can cut costs by up to 66%.
