The Key to managing the converged infrestructure

HP Extends Converged Infrastructure Solutions through Alliances

Content starts here

Our goal was to make the BladeSystem Matrix simple to deploy and expand so you focus on the job at hand, not dealing with all the moving parts. Matrix is a converged infrastructure consisting of pools of compute, storage, virtual fabrics, and power and cooling that can be purchased and delivered as “chunks” of capacity as large as racks at a time. That means you’re up and operating fast only days after your Matrix arrives.  

You can start as small as 1 blade enclosure (chassis) and tackle that nagging consolidation project in days versus months, or you can go big, and transform your data center starting this year, on time and on budget.

Although situations vary depending on the size of your environment, pricing for an initial BladeSystem Matrix environment with SAN, software and services is approximately $150,000 to $200,000US.
