the technology brief titled: "Server virtualization technology for the x86-based HP BladeSystem and ProLiant servers," available at http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bc/docs/support/SupportManual/c01067846/c01067846.pdf. The appendix contains a brief description of HP Virtual Connect technology for readers - HP ProLiant ML310e | Introducing logical servers: Making data center infrastruct - 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 ProLiant ML310e | Introducing logical servers: Making data center infrastruct - 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.

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 ProLiant ML310e | Introducing logical servers: Making data center infrastruct - 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 ProLiant ML310e | Introducing logical servers: Making data center infrastruct - 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.
