[Techtaffy Newsdesk]

HP has launched the HP Get Virtual Guarantee Program that the company says will enable clients to improve server virtualization return on investment by doubling physical server virtual machine performance when deploying HP 3PAR Storage in VMware environments.

The HP Get Virtual Guarantee Program promises qualified participants a minimum two times increase  in virtual server density by doubling the total virtual machine workload on existing physical servers. If a two times increase in virtual server density is not achieved, HP says it will provide participants with the disk capacity and related HP software and support necessary to achieve the guaranteed program results.

HP 3PAR Storage is integrated with VMware vStorage technologies and combined with built-in features such as the HP 3PAR Gen4 ASIC, automatic load balancing, wide striping and a Mesh-Active clustered architecture.

The HP Get Virtual Guarantee Program is available to clients globally through HP and HP-authorized channel partners. To participate in the program, qualified participants must purchase an HP 3PAR Storage System with HP 3PAR Optimization Suite Software for autonomic load balancing and HP 3PAR System Reporter Software. Clients also must be running VMware vSphere version 4.1 or higher.
