Chapter 4: HP VSE Reference Architectures
HP VSE Reference Architectures (RAs) are documented best practices for solutions based on the VSE
components and key industry applications. The VSE RAs may provide blueprints or guidelines for
doing just what you are intending to do. HP VSE RAs are based on proven, real-world IT
deployments, and might help reduce the time it takes you to implement similar solutions. They can
also help you optimize your design time by providing examples of proven designs that you can apply
or customize to fit your specific requirements. Some of the VSE RAs that currently exist are:
• Shared IT: Shared Database Infrastructure and Shared Application Server Infrastructure
• Databases: Oracle® , and Oracle RAC
• Enterprise resource planning applications: SAP R/3 and mySAP Business Suite
• Application Servers: BEA Weblogic Server, Oracle Application Server, Oracle GRID
and IBM Websphere
• Business Intelligence: SAP Enterprise BI Server
Note:
For information about how to access the HP VSE RAs, see the last page of
