In our series of blogs on virtualization our experts have been discussing industry challenges and how these are addressed by HP VirtualSystem.

 

In today's post we change gears and take a look  at the deep integration that HP and Microsoft bring to the HP VirtualSystem platform.

 

We'll cover two main areas - firstly management integration including how we deliver a complete management environment from infrastructure to applications, and secondly storage integration including the performance advantages delivered by HP 3PAR Storage.

 

Our experts are:

-  Jeff Kenyon - Head of R&D for HP VirtualSystem

-  Brad Kirby - Marketing Manager for HP Industry Standard Servers

-  Mike Koponen - Marketing Manager for HP Storage
