perspective on future data center architectures Solving the data center problems described above requires a flexible, business-ready data center all physical resources.5 Support for server virtualization can take many forms, from building servers that efficiently support the latest hypervisors to - Compaq BL10e | Delivering an Adaptive Infrastructure with the HP BladeSystem c-C - Page 6
center infrastructure. In an ideal world, virtual and physical servers would be viewed as equivalent objects, with identical behavior, physical devices to be composed into "templates" and then assembled into specific solutions. While energy-aware optimization for workload placement on both physical - Compaq BL10e | Delivering an Adaptive Infrastructure with the HP BladeSystem c-C - Page 7

For example, IT specialists could design specific application solutions and then allow other administrators of entire applications or services which span a distributed suite of server, storage, and network remote site.

Like all HP ProLiant servers, the BladeSystem c-Class architecture enclosure - An HP BladeSystem c-Class enclosure accommodates server blades, storage blades, I/O option blades - Compaq BL10e | Delivering an Adaptive Infrastructure with the HP BladeSystem c-C - Page 9
• Server blades - BladeSystem c-Class supports ProLiant server blades using AMD or Intel x86 processors, Integrity IA-64 server blades, and StorageWorks storage blades. The portfolio of server blades range from extreme density-optimized blades to mainstream enterprise blades and specialized - Compaq BL10e | Delivering an Adaptive Infrastructure with the HP BladeSystem c-C - Page 10
blades such as the ProLiant BL2x220c, up to 32 server blades - each with 2 processors and up to 32 GB of memory for the G5 product - can be housed in a c7000 enclosure and high reliability. Figure 5.

server blade enclosure is going to use and more accurately allocate that capacity within the datacenter. HP ProLiant c-Class server blades include the unique Virtual Connect technology that abstracts and partitions the server-to-network I/O connections, and some server blades have been specifically - Compaq BL10e | Delivering an Adaptive Infrastructure with the HP BladeSystem c-C - Page 15
and mobility. Just as hypervisor software abstracts physical servers into virtual machines, HP Virtual Connect technology abstracts groups of physical servers within a VC domain into an anonymous physical machine.

goal of the HP Adaptive Infrastructure has been to integrate virtual and physical server management into a specific data, such as MAC addresses, WWNs, and global IDs. A template can be deployed as either a virtual machine or a ProLiant c-Class server blade. Because the physical and virtual servers - Compaq BL10e | Delivering an Adaptive Infrastructure with the HP BladeSystem c-C - Page 18
of either physical or virtual servers, presented in a convenient one-to-five star rating system with supporting details. The objective function separate self-service provisoning portal for deployment. The HP Insight Orchestration utility allows administrators to integrate logical server planning, - Compaq BL10e | Delivering an Adaptive Infrastructure with the HP BladeSystem c-C - Page 19
, it can be easily placed into the deployment portal for activation by authorized users (Figure 10). Upon activation, the service is assigned instance-specific information, and the deployment can be connected to a workflow engine to guarantee necessary approvals or to further automate the process - Compaq BL10e | Delivering an Adaptive Infrastructure with the HP BladeSystem c-C - Page 20
