Microsoft Windows Server 2012

Overview

Microsoft Windows Server 2012

HPE and Microsoft are teaming up to make the Microsoft Private Cloud work for you. Windows Server 2012 paired with Microsoft System Center 2012 enables customers to accelerate delivery of private clouds through pooling and efficient use of infrastructure resource, through dynamic resource migration in response to resource availability, through simplified service design and self-service service delivery, and through efficient ongoing management from infrastructure through applications.

But a great cloud operating system and systems management are not enough.

Our joint customers require infrastructure that delivers best-in-class performance and ensures that valuable, compute, storage, and networking resources are never wasted.
Customers need to be able to implement private clouds faster and with less risk by relying on HPE and Microsoft to conduct the up-front solution design work; remove the burden of time consuming racking, stacking, and cabling; and by ensuring that the private cloud environment is implemented correctly each time.
And, most importantly, customers expect to work with HPE to chart a path to the private cloud that allows them to realize the benefits of cloud computing incrementally, without disruption to existing IT services or massive cost over-runs.

Hewlett Packard Enterprise has partnered with Microsoft to make the private cloud work for you by delivering:

Converged infrastructure horsepower to get your organization "beyond virtualization" and running with unparalleled performance and scalability in the cloud.
Solutions such as HPE VirtualSystem that make it simple to deploy virtualization and private cloud infrastructure, from new two-node SMB and branch office solutions to enterprise data center solutions hosting thousands of VMs, without spending hours designing, racking, and deploying infrastructure.
And expertise to help you chart a non-disruptive path from your current IT infrastructure to private cloud based on HPE Converged Infrastructure, HPE Insight Management, Microsoft Windows Server 2012, and Microsoft System Center.

Whether you are an enterprise, a small or medium-sized business, or a hosting provider, HPE and Windows Server 2012 will help you cloud optimize your IT

Virtualization	Server virtualization technology has helped organizations of all sizes achieve considerable cost savings and operational efficiencies. As the technology continually evolves, many see the potential for going beyond basic virtualization features and benefits-such as consolidating server hardware-to create comprehensive platforms for private clouds. Hyper-V is a virtualization platform that can help transform your organization's data center and cloud computing. It is available as either a stand-alone server product or an integrated feature of Windows Server. With Windows Server® 2012 Hyper-V®, you can more efficiently run multiple operating systems in parallel, on a single server. Plus, you can use virtualization for almost any workload.
