Connect with HP Converged Systems at VMware PEX
HP and VMware have a long history of collaboration and one of the most exciting ways this partnership is being leveraged is through HP OneView<http://www8.hp.com/us/en/business-solutions/converged-systems/oneview.html?jumpid=hpr_r1002_usen_link1> integration with VMware vCenter and Operations Management suite. HP OneView allows businesses to drive out costs and reduce risks through the use of software-defined templates<http://h17007.www1.hp.com/us/en/enterprise/servers/products/infrastructure-management/index.aspx#.UxpM4fldV8E> that automate the task of making changes and replicating them across their datacenter infrastructure. And HP OneView management interface allows you use the VMware tools you already know, simplifying operations and reducing risk and errors.
Visit HP Converged Systems at VMware Partner Exchange booth #501
HP Converged Systems will have a few different ways you can connect with us while at VMware Partner Exchange 2015. Come visit us to see and hear about our latest innovations and solutions.
* HP will host an all-day boot camp where attendees will get an up-close look at HP and VMware management solutions via live demonstrations, get to hear the latest from HP and VMware regarding HP ConvergedSystem 200-HC EVO:RAIL<http://www8.hp.com/h20195/V2/GetDocument.aspx?docname=4AA5-5881ENW&cc=us&lc=en> and much more.
* Join the HP breakout session with Jeff Carlat, Director, Product Management – HP Converged Systems, and Rob Strechay – HP Storage, who will show how easy it can be to transition to a software-define data center with the HP Hyper-Converged Systems<http://www8.hp.com/us/en/products/cs-solutions/product-detail.html?oid=7563527#!tab=features> portfolio.
* Visit the HP booth (#501) to chat with product experts and see live demonstrations of our latest innovations and solutions like HP OneView with VMware integrations.
* HP will be in the VMware EVO:RAIL Zone showcasing HP ConvergedSystem 200-HC EVO:RAIL and Paul Gavin, Product Manager, will be on hand to answer questions.

Keep it vReal son....
VMware had a document to help decipher its new vRealize naming convention and some information of why they changed it… I’m going to miss saying “vCOPS” which might have been the best acronym ever for a product, VMware vRealize Operations just doesn’t have the same ring to it…
The VMware Guide to New Product and Services Names can be found at:

VMware vSAN Sizing Tool
The purpose of this tool is to help determine the hardware specifications for hosts in a Virtual SAN cluster required to run a set of virtual machines defined by a set of input characteristics. These important assumptions should be understood before using this tool:
· All hosts in the cluster are assumed to have an identical hardware profile, i.e. numbers of hard drives and flash devices, amount of physical RAM, and number of CPU cores
· All virtual machines are assumed to be identical in storage characteristics, i.e. number of VMDKs, size of VMDKs (assumed identical for all disks), number of snapshots, and virtual memory size
· All virtual machines are assumed to have the same Virtual SAN policy, i.e. number of failures to tolerate and number of disk stripes per object
The tool is designed so that you can easily vary inputs to see the impact on the sizing output, thus allowing you to iterate manually for more sophisticated analyses.
