Ordering HP CloudSystem Matrix

The method for purchasing HP CloudSystem Matrix is simple. Start by ordering a HP CloudSystem Matrix Starter Kit, which contains the infrastructure needed for a fully-working environment supporting up to 16 HP ProLiant half-height server blades or 8 HP Integrity full-height server blades (or a mix of any of these blades). Add Expansion Kits now or in the future to expand your HP CloudSystem Matrix infrastructure with additional infrastructure and blades. The central management server (CMS) host implemented in the Starter Kit simply extends its domain to manage additional infrastructure that might be added by adding Expansion Kits.

NOTE: The Expansion Kit may also be purchased separately. Expansion Kits ordered separately will come with the Matrix Expansion Kit Integration Implementation Service.
NOTE: Expansion Kits purchased must be co-located with the Starter Kit to which they are connecting to.
NOTE: For detailed ordering information please see the Configuration Information Factory Integrated Models section of this QuickSpecs.
NOTE: Cloud Service Automation for Matrix software (CSA for Matrix) is an optional component and is not included with the base package CloudSystem Matrix.

With all HP CloudSystem Matrix Starter and Expansion Kit orders, the following services are included:

• Factory services to default configure, rack, and cable the infrastructure in a rack,
• Verify and update firmware for the entire solution being purchased (the CloudSystem Matrix kits and the supported blades and options purchased with those kits) to the latest current CloudSystem Matrix firmware release set. This ensures that the CloudSystem Matrix solution will leave the factory with the right levels of firmware needed for the end to end solution to be successful. (For specific version numbers supported and required, please refer to the HP CloudSystem Matrix Compatibility Chart on http://www.hp.com/go/matrixcompatibility)
• Coordinate hand-off to Technology Services (TS) or authorized partner. A TS or partner project manager is assigned for managing pre-engagement and assigning a team of engineers to perform the implementation service at the customer's site.

Factory Express custom configuration services should be added to the order if an EVA configuration is also purchased in the same rack with the Starter (or Expansion) Kits, or if any other custom factory services are needed. Factory Express uses its standard processes for capturing customer intent and requirements, as well as providing order verification services.

While Factory Integration/Factory Express are building the CloudSystem Matrix environment for a given customer, an assigned project manager from Technology Services (TS) will start managing a team of TS engineers to begin planning the rollout of the implementation service, including engaging with the customer on environmental requirements and related details. TS engineers will start the actual implementation on the Matrix equipment as soon as possible after its arrival date at the customer site.

NOTE: The account team must initiate contact with a Factory Express Engagement Project Manager (EPM) to initiate the Factory Express processes, including communication of the Customer Intent Document (CID).

NOTE: Considerations for Central Management Server (CMS) - choice of rack-mount or blade server: HP offers a choice of rack-mounted ProLiant server (DL or ML) as central management server host for HP CloudSystem Matrix. HP recommends the rack-mounted ProLiant DL360 G7 as the CMS host (see configuration below) for those customers who desire to use all available and licensed enclosure blade bays for managed target blades and workloads. When multiple management server hosts are required for scalability and high availability or hosting partner management software, multiple ProLiant DL/ML servers or server blades (or even a combination of blade or rack-mounted servers) can be installed and configured to work together to manage the CloudSystem Matrix environment.

This CMS will be devoted to running the CloudSystem Matrix management software; other management software such as VMware vCenter Server should be installed on a separate server.

NOTE: Larger environments may warrant having multiple CMS servers for these reasons: scalability, high availability of the management server and data, and separation of database or management components for performance or security access reasons.

NOTE: If the recommended HP ProLiant DL360 G7 configuration above is not purchased, the customer agrees to supply or purchase other HP ProLiant rack-mount server(s) or HP ProLiant server blade(s) that meet the requirements. See also the CMS requirements in this Insight Software 6.3 Support Matrix Chapter 2 "Central Management Server Requirements" for more information: http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bc/docs/support/SupportManual/c02537423/
c02537423.pdf

NOTE: This CMS should be implemented on a 64-bit Windows operating system.
