Bangkok--12 Oct--Aziam Burson-Marsteller
HP led by executives from the HP Enterprise Business: Mr. Rungroj Mateedulsatit Product Manager, Business Critical Systems (BCS) and Ms. Kanchana Chokchaitragoolpho Product Manager, Industry Standard Servers (ISS) has reinforced its IT industry leadership with the debut of a set of powerful new products including HP Serviceguard Solutions 11.20 software and HP-UX 11i v3 Update 7 in order to expand upon the industry’s first mission-critical Converged Infrastructure. HP also introduced today, the HP Performance Optimized Datacenter (POD.) and the new HP ProLiant SL6500 Scalable System that enable service providers to scale, speed and simplify the delivery of applications in order to gain a competitive business advantage.
Enhanced HP Serviceguard Solutions 11.20 software, combined with the recent release of HP-UX 11i v3 Update 7, enables clients to:
— Reduce manual configuration efforts by approximately 93 percent(1) with the new HP Serviceguard Extension for Oracle e-Business Suite. It provides automated configuration services for more than 200 tightly integrated applications, including financial services, customer relationship management applications and interrelated components such as storage and networking.
— Achieve improved database manageability with the new HP Serviceguard Toolkit for Oracle Data Guard. This solution is intended to provide robust high availability for Data Guard with zero custom coding given the need of Oracle database administrators for uninterrupted access to this critical application-management tool.
— Simplify clustering with new graphical wizards in Serviceguard Manager. These graphical wizards can enable the creation of a complete cluster, including storage and networking, in about a minute. Additionally, the new Cluster Verification for HP Serviceguard provides confirmation that clusters are configured properly.
— Restart multi-instance applications such as Oracle Real Application Clusters (RAC) and SAP up to 90 percent(2) faster with enhanced Serviceguard performance. In particular, Serviceguard has been designed to load cluster packages simultaneously on all nodes instead of sequentially for rapid start up of the entire Oracle RAC stack, helping to ensuring critical applications are back up and running as quickly as possible.
HP also introduced the world’s first assembly line for rapid deployment of the HP Performance Optimized Datacenter (POD.) (3) for service providers that often need to scale capacity on demand. Available in 20 or 40-foot modules, the HP POD enables service providers and other clients with a limited space to quickly expand their data center capacity. HP PODs are self-contained IT environments that can be customized to the specific needs of service providers and other hyper-scale environments. HP PODs deliver 37 percent more efficiency and cost 45 percent less than a traditional brick-and-mortar data center. (4)
The HP ProLiant SL6500 scalable system features a common modular architecture that can scale from 1 to thousands of nodes while increasing scalability and performance. Accommodating as many as eight servers, or up to four servers with 12 graphic processing units (GPGPU) in a single 4 rack unit enclosure, the system increases energy efficiency, flexibility and serviceability. The solution includes the HP ProLiant s6500 chassis, the HP ProLiant SL390s G7 server and the HP ProLiant SL170s G6 server.
