Grow by enabling new capabilities and scalability

 
The ability to grow—as fast and as far as you want—is the real test of an IT organization. Scaling IT capabilities to meet emerging needs and create new capabilities is a new imperative. Industry leaders Intel, HP, and Oracle are working together to enable you and your IT capabilities to become a catalyst for business growth. Scale up with virtualization and scale out with grid computing! Explore the multiple options that exist to scale your impact even further.

Scale up with Virtualization

Virtualization is a key mechanism to extend IT scalability and fuel growth. To move from vertical silos of infrastructure to horizontal pools of resources, enterprises need to virtualize their IT infrastructure. Only then will IT be able to supply what business requires. The HP Virtual Server Environment (VSE) provides simplified management—potentially doubling resource utilization across the board. New HP Integrity Essentials software enhances the HP Virtual Server Environment, delivering the industry's first integrated software family for planning, managing, and automating virtual servers. The HP Network Consolidation Solution optimizes data center interconnectivity, LAN/WAN infrastructure, and network security, laying the foundation for a secure, virtualized network. Dual-Core Itanium® 2-based servers provide scalable performance for mission-critical applications by doubling performance, delivering high-end virtualization features, and improving energy efficiency to reduce costs and provide headroom for growth. HP's methodology brings a unifying architectural framework to modularize the network into manageable, easily reconfigurable units enterprise-wide, regardless of physical location. In short, the HP Integrity server based on the Intel® Itanium® 2 processor is growth-ready embracing systems that range from one and two-way entry-level servers up to the 64-processor HP Integrity Superdome server.

Scale out with Grid Computing

Oracle Grid computing helps delivers scalability, by providing workload distribution software that can shift computing capacity throughout a set of clustered databases as your business needs change—allowing you to run larger clusters of low-cost servers, such as server blades, to create enterprise grids. And Grid Computing means you can reallocate workloads based on the peaks and valleys of your business cycle- helping you get the maximum from your IT investments while measuring up to the highest service-level requirements.

So grow! With the right technology, it's only natural. Learn more about the resources provided by HP, Intel, and Oracle:
