HP Converged Infrastructure (CI) Foundation for the Converged Data Center

What is it?

HP Converged Infrastructure (CI)

is a blue print for the data center of

the future that accelerates the

provisioning of IT services and

applications by integrating servers,

storage, networking, security, power

and cooling into shared pools of

interoperable resources – all

managed through a common

management platform, delivered via

world-class services.

Source: Forrester Foresights Hardware Surveys Q3 2012, Q3 2013

“As of Q3 2013, 56% of IT

hardware decision-makers

have implemented or are

planning to implement

converged infrastructure

solutions, compared to only

34% in 2012.


Benefits of Converged Infrastructure

What is a “Converged Data Center” ?

Enables the converged cloud and hybrid delivery model for IT

• Combines Facilities, IT infrastructure, Operations and the Delivery

Models

• Software defined

• Modular, highly flexible

• Green & highly sustainable

• Self regulating, totally secure, resilient

• Highly efficient, workload optimised converged systems

• Converged management across facilities, IT infrastructure and

operations

• Business and IT will be completely aligned.


Software defined data center

All infrastructure is virtualized

and delivered as a service,

and the control of the data

center is entirely automated

by software.


Scope of the Converged Data Center


Components

Converged Data Center & SDDC

Converged Data Center encompasses the principles of Software Defined Data Center, but goes

much further in its scope, building on converged infrastructure and including additional elements

which recognise the fact that the IT infrastructure does not exist in isolation and if addressed will

increase the likelihood of a successful solution.

IDC Survey – Business Value of Convergence Methodology

Survey to evaluate the business value increase that enterprises achieve as they advance

their convergence maturity.

• “Work”: Throughput the data center

pushes through - by assessing the network

capacity to / from the data center.

• “Converged-ness”: The percentage of the

data center resources that administrators can

deploy from a pooled collection.

• “Cost”: Annual budget for equipment

hardware, infrastructure software and

IT infrastructure administration staff.

• Results are presented in three categories:

• IT labor costs per GB throughput –

total data center throughput divided

by the IT labor to manage all data center

operations

• Mean time to deploy new services

such as a new application

• Infrastructure and application availability
