HP Enhances BSA Software To Reduce Cost of Managing Virtualisation

HP has announced new enhancements to its Business Service Automation (BSA) software suite to help customers better manage and reduce operational costs associated with virtualised data centres.

Enhancements within the HP BSA software suite include updated versions of:

• HP Storage Essentials, a standards-based storage resource management software that helps customers manage the increased storage requirements of virtualised data centres by optimising capacity allocation and utilisation.

• HP Operations Orchestration, a run book automation software that automates incident resolution, change orchestration and routine maintenance tasks in the data centre. This new release allows customers to reduce operational costs by better provisioning and repurposing servers and storage without service downtime.

HP has also launched HP BSA Essentials, an online community and subscription services offering that helps customers maximise the value of their HP BSA software investments. The new offerings are designed to help customers address these challenges so they can fully realise the benefits of the virtualisation technology.
