“Additional resources” below).
Practical benefits
Ongoing lab work contributes to the HP knowledge base, providing practical benefits to partners, customers, and resellers, as
well as HP services personnel and server development engineers. According to Al Jimenez, solutions engineering manager,
"We look out for our customers by testing real-world customer scenarios on HP ProLiant (and other) servers using Microsoft
technologies.” Visitors are welcome in the lab if they want to see the process for themselves.
Current lab projects
Currently, the lab’s documentation projects include developing a number of technical white papers:
•
Microsoft Windows Server 2008 IIS 7.0 Web Server
•
Microsoft Windows Server 2008 Hyper-V Server virtualization on HP BladeSystem and ProLiant Servers
In addition, the lab is busy with the following activities:
•
characterizing Active Directory for an HP customer
•
hosting a virtualized lab infrastructure for the HP Services organization
•
providing an environment to test applications with the HP BladeSystem c7000 enclosure
Summary
The HP Microsoft Solutions Lab, one of HP’s many labs, has the key function of testing Microsoft products and solutions in
