2. HP converged infrastructure
The data center of the future will be built on a converged infrastructure
Coaching tips: Make sure you drive home that HP has been leading this path with real investments in customer environments today. Paint the big picture of convergence, more than HW, but process, tools all the way to facilities. It is the mega-trend and the right architectural strategy to take maximum advantage of virtualization, cloud/as-a-service, and Green IT and other strategic customer initiatives.

Industry inflection point – technologies are coming back together – converging. Transition: We call this HP Converged Infrastructure
NOTES;
And what we believe at HP is that we're at one of those inflection points where the technology is coming together to give people a way to build their data centers of the future. And that technology is converged infrastructure.
And what do we mean by converged infrastructure? Well if you look around what's really been happening for the last 15 or 20 years is all the major infrastructure technologies have really been building their own silos. For the companies, they even manage it this way; you had a network stack, a server stack, a storage stack, a management stack. They all had their own little worlds. They're all kind of built up in their own worlds. No one really talked to each other.
And what we see happening with this change which is really driven by need, the need of the sprawl, and driven by the way technology is now changing, is that it is going to come back together. And it's what was call at HP the HP converged infrastructure where you'll have an infrastructure that for the first time in a long time brings everything back together as one.
Now for some of the folks in the room who might be a little bit older, you might say, hey it's the mainframe, there are no new ideas, they all come back. In some ways yes but in a very important way, no.
And the no part goes like this: the mainframe was always built as a closed infrastructure where you really had to buy it all for one from somebody. The difference with converged infrastructure, it's all built to industry standards, it gives you choice so you can change parts in and out no matter how you like to do it. Okay. So you don't get locked in, very, very important part of our architecture and a very, very important part of what we believe in. It's not about lock-in; it's about building to industry standards and giving people choice.

3. Today’s data center networks are complex
Virtual Connect Sales Training
May 2011
Today’s data center networks are complex
Constraining application service delivery
Interconnect sprawl resulting from virtualization
Complex and costly networking infrastructure at the server edge
Unable to keep up with the rapid pace of business change; no automation
Over-provisioned power and cooling driving costly capacity expansion
Tomorrow
Simple Integrated Automated
Script
Today we will take a look at the networking portion of the data center’s challenges and concentrate on what is happening at the server edge, where it meets the network infrastructure.
Over time, customers have converged application workloads onto fewer servers. While virtual machines can trim your server requirements, they tend to bloat your network infrastructure – requiring more expansion cards, switches and cables.
Networking at the server edge tends to become complex, inflexible, and costly.
Customers want to get as close to “wire-once” as possible. The thing that stands in the way is that every time they fix, change, or add a new server, the LAN and SAN people need to get involved to help the Server Administrator. This due to the fact that when you add, fix, or change a server, you’re adding new connections to the networks and they have to be modified, changed or added to the LAN and SAN infrastructure.
This is all adding up to costly operational expense as more server and networking equipment requires additional provisioning of costly power and cooling. Scaling the data center to meet greater demands also demands that power and cooling system become stressed and over-utilized. Or you can have the negative effect of trying to account for the maximum power and cooling needs of the data center, but never really see those loads. The power and cooling systems are then under-utilized and not operating at maximum efficiency.
Hence the need for an integrated, simple, cost-effective, and automated interaction between the systems and the facilities infrastructure.

HP IMC is a next-generation management software which provides the data center operations team with a comprehensive platform that integrates network technologies and provides full fault, configuration, accounting, performance, and security management functionality.
Built from the ground up to support the Information Technology Infrastructure Library (ITIL) operational center of excellence IT practices model, IMC’s single-pane-of-glass management paradigm enables efficient end-to-end business management to address the stringent demands of today’s mission-critical enterprise IT operations.
Intelligent Resilient Framework (IRF), is a technology that enhances ordinary Ethernet switching designs, allowing substantial improvements in the way Ethernet switches communicate. HP IRF provides the ability to flatten data center and campus networks, eliminating the need for multiple tiers of aggregation switches and unutilized data paths. IRF provides a framework that enhances Ethernet and provides better link management, utilization, and redundancy.
Comware is HP Networking’s common operating system for blade, top of rack and core Ethernet switches. The use of a common OS means that today’s demanding datacenters can be managed and configured from edge to edge under a single stream of FW using common configuration scripts, troubleshooting procedures and upgrade policies.

The 6125G and 6125G/XG share a common hardware platform that provide cost savings to HP, allowing us to pass the cost savings on to the customer, and also allows for the use of common cables, optic modules, FW downloads and updates to keep customer cost of ownership to a minimum.
For the design of the 6120G and 6120G/XG, HP went to the latest version of the proven Broadcom switching Firebolt ASIC as well as adding FLASH and operating memory far more than what was previously available on competing Ethernet blade switches.
Additionally, customers can keep costs to a minimum by mixing and matching the two models to suit their needs. Examples would be using 6120Gb switches in the majority of the enclosures, putting perhaps a 6125G/XG at the top and bottom enclosures in a rack and tying them all together with IRF. All data can be aggregated using the 6125G/XG 10Gb uplinks with redundancy available through the IRF stack.,
And of course, the entire virtual switch, as well as all other elements within the network, can be managed using IMC (Intelligent Management Center) using a single interface regardless where the switches are located.
