Enhanced efficiency and manageability from virtualized networks that lead you to the Next Generation Data Center

Networking storage greatly enhances storage efficiency and manageability. The HP StorageWorks Storage Area Network (SAN) is a key component of HP Virtualized Infrastructure Solutions for SAP Business Suite and thus of the HP Adaptive Infrastructure for SAP. It is the network element of the entire storage architecture, providing the infrastructure platform for complete, open network storage solutions.

HP provides highly available, flexible enterprise network solutions that use virtualization to link and allocate IT resources automatically according to demand helping you to build an adaptive infrastructure. Unlike other vendors, who simply resell third-party network technology, the ProCurve Networking technology by HP gives customers 100% HP technology with full choice and flexibility, perfectly synchronized to achieve increased performance and adaptability.
