ProLiant Essentials Server Migration Pack - North America/Canada QuickSpecs

Overview

ProLiant Essentials Server Migration Pack

The ProLiant Essentials Server Migration Pack radically simplifies server consolidation projects. Server Migration Pack (SMP), a companion product to the Virtual Machine Management Pack, automates the manual processes required for a physical server to virtual machine (P2V) migration. SMP raises the bar on P2V automation, so that a typical migration process can be completed in a matter of minutes. The SMP's advanced migration technology also provides the ability to support virtual machine to virtual machine (V2V) conversions. V2V provides the ability to covert Virtual Machines between different underlying virtualization layers including: VMware ESX Server, VMware GSX Server, and Microsoft Virtual Server 2005.

Systems Insight Manager and the ProLiant Essentials management software provide a complete tool set for server consolidation projects. Using HP SIM and the Performance Management Pack, users can easily identify underutilized servers in the datacenter that are candidates for consolidation. Once these systems are identified, SIM and the Server Migration Pack provide an easy to use physical to virtual (P2V) migration capability.

Available Packs and Purchase Information
Licensing and Packaging	General Licensing Information One license is required for every physical server that is migrated into a virtual machine (P2V). One license is also required when a virtual machine is migrated from one virtualization layer to a different virtualization layer (V2V). The Server Migration Pack (SMP) licensing model is based on the concept that one license is consumed per migration. Since most server consolidation projects typically require migrations of multiple physical servers onto a single or multiple virtual host servers, companies may find it more convenient to purchase 25. 50 or 100 SMP license keys at once using the Multi-License pack options below. NOTE: it is not necessary to consume an SMP license in the case where a virtual machine is simply being moved between two virtual host servers having the same type of virtualization layers, such as VMware ESX. The ProLiant Essentials Virtual Machine Management Pack facilitates such virtual machine move operations.
	ProLiant Essentials Server Migration Pack, Single-Server License NOTE: This license allows 1 server to be migrated from a physical server to a virtual machine. Or this license can be used to migrate a virtual machine from one virtualization layer i.e. VMware GSX to a different virtualization layer such as VMware ESX or Microsoft Virtual Server 2005.	375345-B21
	ProLiant Essentials Server Migration Pack, 10-Server License NOTE: This license allows 10 servers to be migrated from a physical server to 10 virtual machines. Or this license can be used to migrate 10 virtual machines from one virtualization layer i.e. VMware GSX to a different virtualization layer such as VMware ESX or Microsoft Virtual Server 2005. This pack includes a single activation key that enables 10 such migrations.	390739-B21
	ProLiant Essentials Server Migration Pack, 25-Server License	391674-B21
	ProLiant Essentials Server Migration Pack, 50-Server License	391675-B21
