3PAR(R) /quotes/comstock/13*!par/quotes/nls/par (PAR 9.46, +0.10, +1.07%) , the leading global provider of utility storage, announced today that Intercept, a leading UK provider of IT services and hosting, has deployed both 3PAR InServ(R) T-Class and InServ F-Class Storage Server models to support its online and virtualization offerings. Intercept replaced an inefficient, poorly performing network of six devices with these two resilient, high-performance 3PAR Utility Storage arrays. In doing so, the cloud computing service provider has simplified storage administration, reduced its storage footprint by 67%, and halved storage-related power consumption across its virtual server and desktop infrastructure. In addition, by choosing 3PAR, Intercept’s storage environment now delivers 40% faster performance.
“It was really important for us to see how 3PAR and our virtualized environments worked together, because virtual servers and virtual desktops tend to tax storage performance to the extreme,” said Gary Collins, Chief Information Officer at Intercept. “We wanted to see whether the 3PAR arrays could live up to their reputation. We were amazed to find that the 3PAR arrays performed flawlessly, far exceeding our expectations.”
Intercept is well-known for developing robust, scalable, and cost-effective virtualized and cloud computing solutions for client companies. A contributing factor to its success is that the hosting provider carefully assesses client needs and works with a variety of best-of-breed hardware and software vendors. This enables Intercept to develop individualized IT solutions that improve performance and increase business process agility while reducing costs and environmental impact.
Prior to deploying 3PAR Utility Storage, Intercept was burdened by poorly performing, inefficient legacy storage. Intercept realized that it required a robust and secure storage environment that could offer built-in backup and recovery capabilities and high performance levels. In addition, to support existing and planned virtualization services, Intercept needed a storage architecture proven to work well with virtualization technologies.
“We’ve deployed a few different storage platforms since our inception and have found that our options were either high performance at the cost of resilience, or a resilient architecture at the cost of performance,” said Collins. “With 3PAR, we no longer have to make this trade-off.”
In choosing to replace its legacy storage with 3PAR InServ arrays, Intercept has built a highly consolidated environment that has been much simpler to manage and that offers superior flexibility — giving Intercept improved agility to meet customer needs more quickly and efficiently. In addition, Intercept has deployed 3PAR System Reporter software for efficient monitoring of performance and capacity usage across storage servers, 3PAR Dynamic Optimization software for non-disruptively converting data service levels across storage tiers, and 3PAR Thin Provisioning software to reduce up-front storage capacity purchases. In addition, Intercept added rapid data recovery capabilities with 3PAR Virtual Copy and 3PAR Recovery Manager for Microsoft(R) SQL Server(R), which it uses to protect critical applications.
“With the rise of virtualization and cloud computing, the hosting business has become all about efficiency, agility, and reliability,” said David Scott, President and CEO of 3PAR. “Intercept has built its business by catering to individual customer needs with highly adaptable, cost-efficient service offerings, and 3PAR Utility Storage offers the ideal foundation for flexible, secure, and cost-efficient cloud-based services tailored to individual customers and their specific requirements.”
About Intercept As award winning specialists, Intercept focuses on helping companies of all sizes reap the rewards of virtualized IT and cloud computing. Based in the City of London, the business collaborates with clients to get the most out of their IT investment to reduce costs, improve user performance and increase business agility.
The company has years of real world experience designing innovative solutions to fit client needs, all delivered with exceptional tailored support. Intercept has virtualized over 5,000 servers, over 100,000 desktop and more than 2,000 different applications in 30 languages, realizing millions of pounds worth of savings to its customers. What’s more, some 60,000 users rely upon Intercept’s managed and online services.
As specialists in delivering virtual IT infrastructure, Intercept consultants are different. Using the most resilient, scalable and high-performing technology available today, Intercept’s solutions empower client teams to get the very most out of their IT investment. www.intercept-it.com
About 3PAR 3PAR(R) /quotes/comstock/13*!par/quotes/nls/par (PAR 9.46, +0.10, +1.07%) is the leading global provider of utility storage, a category of highly virtualized, dynamically tiered, multi-tenant storage arrays built for public and private cloud computing. Our virtualized storage platform was built from the ground up to be agile and efficient and to eliminate the limitations of traditional storage arrays for utility infrastructures. As a pioneer of thin provisioning and other storage virtualization technologies, we design our products to reduce power consumption to help companies meet their green computing initiatives and to cut storage total cost of ownership. 3PAR customers have used our self-managing, efficient, and adaptable utility storage systems to reduce administration time and provisioning complexity, to improve server and storage utilization, and to scale and adapt flexibly in response to continuous growth and changing business needs.

HP /quotes/comstock/13*!hpq/quotes/nls/hpq (HPQ 46.01, -0.93, -1.98%) today expanded its client virtualization offerings for businesses to help reduce the costs and complexity of client virtualization while improving the user experience.
The new offerings, announced at Citrix Synergy 2010, include:
– The HP 4320t Mobile Thin Client is designed to meet the security and reliability needs of remote and mobile workers.
– HP’s desk-based thin client line now features expanded multimedia capabilities.
– HP has worked with Citrix to develop new virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI) reference architectures for XenDesktop and XenServer that help reduce the threat of potential data loss or theft, lower the complexity and cost of desktop management, and provide end-users with the functionality of a stand-alone desktop.
– The HP Compaq Elite 8000 Business Desktop and HP EliteBook 8440p Notebook PC are the first Citrix Ready platforms expected to support the recently announced Citrix XenClient hypervisor technology. Citrix XenClient support provides the power to deliver the most demanding business applications, while offering the protection of a secure, centrally managed virtual machine for business customers.
“HP’s comprehensive client virtualization portfolio allows customers to choose the ideal components for their infrastructure and user base,” said Jeff Groudan, director, Thin Computing Solutions, HP. “We are providing our customers with proven technology to fit their unique environments — from innovative desktop or mobile thin clients and traditional rich PCs that enable client virtualization, to our preconfigured and tested reference architectures that help customers design the right combination of hardware, software and services for their business.”
More secure and manageable mobility
As desktop virtualization adoption accelerates, there is an increasing demand for reliable mobile thin clients for remote users. The new HP 4320t Mobile Thin Client enables secure access to server-based virtual or blade PC computing solutions while providing the mobility of a reliable notebook PC. Users store data on a secure, centralized server — rather than on an internal hard drive — ensuring data is protected in the event a thin client is lost or stolen.
Adding to HP’s broad client virtualization portfolio of thin clients, VDI and blade client hardware, the 4.3-pound(1) HP 4320t features a brushed-aluminum metal finish for refined simplicity and durability with a clean appearance. Its sleek design includes a spill-resistant keyboard and integrated touchpad. Additional features include:
– Low-profile, 13.3-inch diagonal LED-backlit 16:9 high-definition (HD)(2) display for improved brightness, contrast and clarity
– HDMI port for connections directly to HD displays
– Flexible battery options include 6-cell Li-Ion battery for lighter weight or the HP 9-cell Li-Ion Primary Battery for extended battery life
– Preinstalled Windows(R) Embedded Standard, File Based Write Filter and Enhanced Write Filter, and HP Virtual Client Essentials deliver greater ease of use for IT staff and mobile professionals
– Enhanced Write Filter (EWF) helps prevent undesired writes to solid-state modules such as application installations and downloads
– USB storage security options provide automated administrator control over USB attached memory device read/write access
The HP 4320t helps reduce the workload of IT staff with manageability features such as HP ThinState tools, HP Device Manager and preinstalled Altiris Deployment Solution software. Extensive integrated wireless technologies, such as WLAN and LAN, help mobile workers stay productive with ease.
Enhanced thin client multimedia experiences at the desktop
From corporate training to YouTube, Adobe(R) Flash-based video is abundant in business today. Yet Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) 6, one of the most common VDI protocols used by VMware View and Microsoft(R) Remote Desktop Services environments, does not natively support Flash. The new HP RDP Enhancements for Adobe Flash Redirection decodes and plays embedded Flash, enabling customers to enjoy enhanced productivity and communication benefits.
Available for HP Flexible and Performance series thin clients, HP RDP Enhancements for Adobe Flash Redirection decodes Flash media by taking advantage of client processors rather than server processors, thereby lowering the CPU load on the server. This also increases scalability by allowing customers to add more users per server, and lowers the total cost of ownership.
Reducing the complexity of designing a VDI environment
The new HP and Citrix VDI reference architectures provide the functionality of a stand-alone desktop, while enabling unified management of both physical and virtual infrastructures from the same centralized console.
HP’s comprehensive reference architectures are built using the company’s extensive experience testing and simulating real-world workloads to reduce risk, deliver predictable results and accelerate time to deployment for new VDI environments.
The VDI solution developed by HP and Citrix supports more than 1,000 users of XenDesktop 4.0, XenServer 5.5 or Provisioning Server 5.1. It includes HP BladeSystem c-Class or HP ProLiant servers along with Flex-10 virtual connect technology, HP storage and networking, and a choice of HP t5740 or HP t5325 thin clients, depending upon end-user experience requirements.
Each reference architecture can be scaled to meet changing business needs and can be complemented by a full portfolio of HP services including planning, implementation, support and hosting.
Pricing and availability(3)
The HP 4320t Mobile Thin Client is expected to be available in the United States this month.
The HP 4320t Mobile Thin Client will be on display at Citrix Synergy 2010. A hands-on demo of HP’s industry-leading thin clients and software, the new XenClient architecture and other HP client virtualization solutions is available in HP booth 204.
HP RDP Enhancements for Flash Redirection is available today as a downloadable add-on at HP.com for $15.
