• IT environment is too expensive to manage and maintain.

• Too many applications, too much customization and too many underutilized servers.

• Energy needs for power and cooling under scrutiny.

• Struggle to meet service level agreements for critical workloads.

• Can’t implement new projects fast enough.

• Need to reduce headcount every year but the work never seems to go away.

• Compliance demands are increasing.

• Infrastructure is at risk to viruses and security breaches.

software design

• Asset management• Event and fault management• Monitoring and reporting • Role-based security• Management of distributed tasks• Instant Support Enterprise Edition

Functionality Benefits

In the IDC survey, IT labor optimization accounted for the greatest cost savings from deploying the HP software.

On average, the surveyed companies reduced their annual IT labor costs for server administration from $15,636 per 100 users to $10,242 after deploying HP SIM.

The companies also reduced their annual IT labor costs for user support from $12,015 per 100 users to $11,170.

“Gaining Business Value and ROIwith HP Systems Insight Manager “

IDC study on HP SIM customer benefitsCosts per 100 users declined by 29% with a payback of <6 months

• On average, the surveyed companies were able to achieve savings of $35,533 per 100 users over a three-year period

• IT labor optimization accounted for just over one-half of these cost savings

• Customers were able to nearly double the sever-to-administrator increasing the ratio by an average of 98%

• After deploying HP SIM, the amount of downtime dropped by an average of 77% declining from 2.1 hours to 0.6 hours per month

• Collects multiple samples of performance data from HP Insight agents− Eliminates need for additional agents to

be maintained and the possibility of additional overheard incurred by performance management

− Avoids spurious alerting caused by momentary spikes in usage or demand

• Individualized profile for each and every HP BladeSystem− Minimizes false alarms caused by

inaccurate or too-generalized metrics− Specific parameters identify exactly when

a problem exists and makes recommendations about corrective action

• Performance alerts and advice are based on multiple & correlated hardware measurements− Addresses the core cause of the problem

rather than an effect which surfaces through software performance metrics that must be tracked back to the root cause

Tackling the toughest IT projects

Dynamic test and developmentQuickly repurpose infrastructure without re-installation

Continuous consolidationTransform long-term projects into ongoing efforts

Everyday high availabilityFast and affordable recovery and maintenance

Energy-aware planningConsolidate workloads for maximum power efficiency

80 5 June 2008

Use Case: Continuous Consolidation

HP Solution

1. Create a consolidation scenario

2. Search for a way to stack virtual machines on as few servers as possible

3. Periodically re-balance workloads across existing servers

4. Easily see where to place a new workload based on a 5-star rating system

Benefits1. Lower cost of IT operations: fewer systems,

smaller footprint, fewer software licenses, lower power requirements, etc.

2. Maintain higher service levels throughout the life of the applications.

3. 5% – 40% savings in capacity planning efforts

Problem: Trial and error consolidation

Use Case: Dynamic Test and Development Infrastructure

1. Tune and configure the test server stack as usual

2. “Template-ize” it as a logical server – the OS, applications, configuration information

3. Or, import an existing logical server that has already been created

4. Deploy the logical servers on physical blades or virtual machines as needed (using 5-star rating to ensure a good fit)

5. Re-deploy, replicate, and retire the test ‘systems’ easily as test cycles dictate

Benefits1. Accelerate time to production by quickly

repurposing test and development infrastructure

2. Up to 20-30% increase in productivity for provisioning and change tasks.

HP Solution

Problem: Inefficient, inflexible test and dev environments

Use Case: Everyday High Availability

1. “Template-ize” logical servers –their OS, applications, and configuration information

2. Identify a spare blade in another enclosure within the VC domain

3. During unplanned downtime, redeploy the logical server on a spare blade, requiring only a reboot to be back on line

4. Or, set the move to happen automatically based on a SIM event alert

5. During planned downtime, easily move a logical server from one blade to another and back again upon completion

Benefits1. Higher quality of service with lower risk

2. Fast and affordable HA for non-mission-critical applications

3. Shorter maintenance windows resulting in higher application up-time

HP Solution

Problem: Unprotected applications, due to cost and complexity of traditional HA

83 5 June 2008

Use Case: Energy Aware Planning

1. Collect utilization and power data using capacity planning

2. Test combinations to see which ones result in the lowest power utilization

3. Double check that performance is not being compromised

4. Build out an environment that makes the most efficient use of power while maintaining service levels

Benefits1. Reduced energy consumption and cost.

2. Analyze power needs more efficiently.

HP Solution

Problem: Power consumption is unmanaged and growing rapidly
