HP Virtual Server Environment (HP VSE)

The HP Virtual Server Environment (HP VSE) is a server virtualization product developed by Hewlett-Packard (HP) to optimize resource utilization in their HP Integrity and HP 9000 servers.

The HP VSE integrates planning, management and automation, making it convenient for server administrators to:

• Consolidate multiple application programs on a single server.
• Create virtual servers that can automatically adjust their capacity based on changing requirements for each hosted application.
• Manage server farms without a negative impact on performance.
• Utilize all available server capacity while providing critical applications with additional resources during peak periods.
• Enable streamlined migration of virtual machines in a server farm.
• Maintain service levels in the event of downtime and pay for spare capacity on an as-needed basis.
