• Consolidation – IT Consolidation solutions  and services can help you use virtualization to centralize your servers, storage or desktops and optimize IT to increase business value.

• Shared application infrastructure – The HP Virtual Server Environment Reference Architectures  help you reduce your investment in duplicate development infrastructures. Share resources between production and development for applications like SAP, Oracle or BEA.

• Test and development infrastructure – The HP Shared Infrastructure Utility for Development and Test  can help you create a shared test and development environment to drive efficiencies and agility across more of your organization.
