HP today unveiled new solutions within its Adaptive Infrastructure (AI) portfolio that fundamentally change the way technology is used to deliver business services, while also reducing overall infrastructure costs and data center complexity.(1)

HP BladeSystem Matrix (Matrix) is the industry’s first converged software, server, storage and networking platform that automates service delivery for the data center. HP Matrix Orchestration Environment provides a unified management interface to rapidly design, deploy and optimize the application infrastructure.

Together, these offerings create an integrated pool of resources that operate in both physical and virtual environments, creating the first truly business-ready infrastructure.

This does sound cool, an all in one solution for managing your infrastructure including the storage, network and server could bring real savings in the time to deploy new systems, and enable delivery through on-demand provisioning of infrastructure using user pre-defined templates. For that Citrix farm, I could deploy another server, network connection and storage as the application brought on new users to meet existing levels of availability or service. Simply handing over elements of the provisioning to ‘the business’ can transform the perception of the IT teams, and allow more focus on upgrading the legacy platform, pro-active monitoring and evolution of the infrastructure through capactiy planning. Interestingly, HP BladeSystem Matrix supports virtual and physical servers on multiple operating systems, it will be interesting to see what people think about this new announcement.
