The appendix contains a brief description of HP Virtual Connect technology for readers - HP BL680c | Introducing logical servers: Making data center infrastructures more - Page 3
describing entitlements such as power allocation, processor and memory requirements, PCI Express devices (local I/O), network connections (distributed I/O), and storage. The logical server is managed in software. This could be software local to the platform as firmware integrated into the hardware - HP BL680c | Introducing logical servers: Making data center infrastructures more - Page 4
machines are within a physical resource pool or on a discrete server, as shown in Figure 1. • HP Insight Dynamics - VSE software-software to assist with creating and managing logical servers. Insight Dynamics - VSE runs on a CMS and replaces the manual steps for creating and 3 Sharing may be done - HP BL680c | Introducing logical servers: Making data center infrastructures more - Page 5
business function rather than server technology • Accelerate time to production by quickly re-purposing test and development hardware without complicated re-installation or archiving test environments for re-use • Create affordable, easy-to-configure high-availability systems by using spare capacity - HP BL680c | Introducing logical servers: Making data center infrastructures more - Page 6
using physical resource pools. Certain environments that require higher security in the data center network have resisted using virtual machine environments because of an inability to lock down network addresses to specific ports on the data center network switch. With the physical-layer abstraction - HP BL680c | Introducing logical servers: Making data center infrastructures more - Page 7
by adding support for ProLiant and BladeSystem c-Class servers, adding new logical server management, and adding improved tools with linkages across the HP portfolio.

networks. More information about Virtual Connect Enterprise Manager is available at www.hp.com/go/vcem. Conclusion For years, HP and other companies have been promoting virtualization and the Adaptive Infrastructure as a means to provide flexibility in the data center. Logical servers are a powerful - HP BL680c | Introducing logical servers: Making data center infrastructures more - Page 9
