HP Delivers Enterprise Agility with New Converged Infrastructure Solutions

HP announced several industry-first Converged Infrastructure solutions that improve enterprise agility by simplifying deployment and speeding IT delivery. HP Converged Infrastructure solutions are a key element in a client’s Instant-On Enterprise journey. These offerings break through IT sprawl and turn technology assets into interoperable, shared pools of resources with a common management platform. These new offerings include:

• — Converged Systems, a new portfolio of turnkey, optimized and converged hardware, software, tailored consulting and HP Solution Support services that enable clients to be up and running with new applications in hours vs. months.
• — Converged Storage architecture and portfolio, which integrates HP Store360 scale-out software with HP BladeSystem and HP ProLiant hardware to reduce storage administration, speed time to service delivery, increase energy efficiency and improve access for any data type or application workload. The offerings are complemented by new Storage Consulting services.
• — Converged Data Center, a new class of HP Performance Optimized Data Centers (PODs) that can be deployed faster than any competitive offering – just 12 weeks – and at a quarter of the cost when compared to a traditional brick-and-mortar data center. Extending HP’s leadership in modular data centers, the HP POD 240a, also referred to as the “HP EcoPOD,” uses 95 percent less facilities energy.
• — HP Server Automation 9.1 software seamlessly provisions physical and virtual application instances across the entire life cycle.
