What’s the first thing that comes to mind when you hear ‘Occupy Wall Street’ and ‘European Debt Crisis’? I doubt that it is anything close to a picture of stability. It seems that risk (specifically financial risk) has reached a fever pitch over the last year and tends to dominate most conversations. Wall Street along with other global financial institutions spent millions on developing algorithms designed to calculate and eliminate risk, but if we’ve learned anything it is that you cannot eliminate risk. However, we can take steps to reduce risk.
Both HP and Red Hat have reduced virtualization risk. Red Hat has engineered security into Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization with sVirt and SELinux. Both were developed in conjunction with the U.S. Department of Defense and National Security Agency, and vendors including HP, to ensure isolation between virtual machines and between each machine and the Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization Hypervisor, providing unmatched enterprise virtualization security.
HP has also developed a RHEV services and support portfolio specifically designed to reduce risk. In this portfolio you can choose from a combination of hardware and software services (including critical services) up to the level of risk you are willing to accept for your IT environment. And HP is driving toward adding Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization as part of HP’s enterprise virtualization consulting services portfolio.
In addition, HP is working with Red Hat to provide ProLiant customers what they have asked for, a single point of management for hardware and software that further reduces the risk and complexity associated with creating and maintaining a dynamic virtualization environment.
HP is excited to work with Red Hat to build Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization solutions that reduce risk, increase performance, simplify management, and improve reliability. We look forward to the year to come.
