Has your small business been making use of cloud computing in Boston? Your Boston area small business could certainly stand to benefit from making use of HP’s new Peer Motion. This is a new cloud computing feature that will allow you to move work between different systems in cloud computing formats as well as others. You may be interested to apply this to your business if you are frequently on the go, or using different machines throughout your work day.
HP has announced new federated storage software, Peer Motion, which enables admins to transparently move application workloads between disk systems in virtualised and cloud computing environments.
HP also unveiled a new storage array line, the P10000 3PAR Storage System, which is aimed at supporting public and private clouds with twice the capacity and port count of previous HP products.

The Peer Motion software allows applications and data to be moved between any HP-branded storage systems as well as systems from its subsidiaries: 3Par and LeftHand, according to Craig Nunes, director of marketing for HP Storage.
Similar to VMware’s vMotion software, Peer Motion allows live migration of data on storage systems supporting virtual machines with no application downtime.
Peer Motion is aimed at several data center needs, Nunes said, including the balancing of workloads where an application outgrows its forecasted requirements and must be redistributed across storage systems. The software can also be used in bringing new storage systems on line when older ones are retired, and for thin provisioning of storage in virtual environments.
