Dropping unplanned downtime by 10 percent
Another benefit of HP Virtual Connect is increased
uptime. “The less we need to modify and configure
when deploying a server, the fewer opportunities there
are for errors,” says Fisher. “Simplified, consistent
connections can reduce unplanned downtime by
perhaps 10 percent.”

Cutting 30-minute management tasks to 30 seconds
Another key benefit of the HP BladeSystem is
improved remote management. “Because of the
HP Insight Control Environment, we’re able to have all
of our servers easily accessible remotely, so we have
most of our IT staff here in our main data center and
need only a small staff in our DR data center,” says
Fisher.

Time spent in the data center is also reduced. “It takes
me 30 seconds to connect and manage every aspect
of an HP server blade through HP Insight Control
Environment, vs. the 30 minutes it might take me to
walk to the data center and hook something directly
to that server. That’s helping us achieve an important
objective: minimize or eliminate most employee access
to the data center.”

Better service levels for less money
The most important benefit of the HP BladeSystem
and HP Virtual Connect at Premera is that they help
the IT team increase services while minimizing space
and costs. “We’ve evaluated blade offerings from
other vendors,” Fisher sums up. “But for us, HP comes
through with very good hardware and software.
Especially with HP Virtual Connect—they give us the
tools that we need to get the job done.”
