In initial real-world customer testing, HP demonstrated the ability to provision an Oracle-based e-Shopping solution in 108 minutes with one administrator versus the standard process of 33 days involving multiple teams. We’re not talking about loading one application on one server, but bringing into service a complete multi-tier environment using virtual and physical servers, with storage and networking configuration.

This is just one example of the many ways that BladeSystem Matrix can transform the economics of your datacenter, from power and resource costs to improving productivity across multiple teams.
