Operating Systems

Do you need to dynamically reduce, expand, or reconfigure your storage to meet changing data, performance, and availability needs?

HPE Logical Volume Manager (LVM) Mirrordisk/UX is a subsystem for managing your disk space. It offers value-added features that enhance availability and performance, including mirroring, high-availability (with optional HPE Serviceguard) and striping, all designed to meet your changing needs.

Do you need to increase your server utilization while increasing flexibility to get the most out of your existing servers?

Deploy HP-UX vPars and Integrity VM v6 to consolidate multiple workloads onto a single HPE Integrity server or hard partition (nPartition). Enhance your resource utilization and isolate workloads with unique operating systems, applications, resources and users. Use vPar guests for workloads requiring high performance, scalability, predictable resourcing and dynamic resource migration. Use Integrity VM guests for shared CPU, dynamic resource optimization and online mobility.

Could your business stay alive and profitable with lengthy interruptions to your IT?

Protect your business from downtime in the event of a fault, failure or disaster with HPE Serviceguard Metrocluster. This Serviceguard solution can be implemented and put to optimal use with a variety of HPE storage solutions that best fit your data center needs, and has features that can help reduce your planned day to day downtime by migrating workloads during maintenance.

Would your business find it difficult to operate for a few hours or an entire day without access to core IT services?

HPE Serviceguard clustering software is the foundation of every Serviceguard business continuity solution. Serviceguard packages a critical service, an application or a database with its associated resources and monitors the entire package for faults in hardware, software, operating systems, virtualization layers, network, and storage. During a fault, Serviceguard gracefully shuts down the application, restarts it on an available server in the cluster, connects it to the appropriate storage device, and resumes normal operations, all in mere seconds. Serviceguard clusters remove single points of failure and deliver high availability with redundant hardware.

Do you need to ensure that your business keeps running even in the event of a natural disaster?
