Failover in FOUR SECONDS? HP's SAP-specific iron hits the streets

[Alfredia Alli]

HP has added two SAP-specific implementation to its ConvergedSystem product line: the CS900 for enterprise customers, and the CS500 for the smaller shop.

The pitch from HP is that with a configuration purpose-built for different application environments, it can get customers firing with new servers, without the sysadmin having to build and tune things for himself. Hence it's already rolled out ConvergedSystem variants for Citrix: the Vertica and Microsoft big data environments; and VMware virtualisation environments.
