Introducing Logical Servers: Making Data Center Infrastructures More Adaptive

This paper describes the HP strategy and long-term vision for logical servers to make a data center infrastructure more adaptive. Products based on logical server technology will be implemented in stages and released at the right time for the market. Logical servers are a new class of abstracted servers that allows administrators to manage physical machines and virtual machines using the same management construct. The logical server approach enables administrators to plan, deploy, move, adjust, and manage server instances in their environments regardless of how the logical server is created.
