The “dirty little secret” of virtualization
• Reduced server investments
• Reduced power • Reduce floor space
Capital expenditures Management challenges (OpEx)
• Increased storage management (90% of VM’s SAN connected*)
• 30-50% storage underutilization**
• 26% VM Sprawl***
• 6 mins to provision server, 6+ days to provision server, storage, network ****
• 40% of services non-compliant*****
* Vmware; ** Many storage analyts; *** HP study; **** HP customer; ***** HP study

1. OO flow prompts user to select the environment: QA, Staging, Production
2. OO flow prompts user for a list of target servers
3. Based on environment OO retrieves the following from SA Applications to be
deployed to the target server(s)
Compliance policies to be applied to the target server(s)
4. OO copies the application to the target server(s)
5. OO applies the SA compliance policies to the target server(s) – in parallel
Application Deployment Automation

Customer Success:Improved provisioning
• Needed 350 Linux servers built in one week
• Would have needed 3 weeks to do the job• Four severs per day per
person• Throw bodies at it until
there are no more bodies• Assembly line approach
Before automation
• Two people working for two days to provision 350 Linux servers
• Servers are fully compliant with corporate standards
