Data center transformation - support business growth - HP

Overcoming these obstacles is likely to take more than localized fixes. While resolving point problems as they emerge remains important, a vital need now is for more holistic, transformative initiatives that address multiple issues in parallel. These strategic initiatives accelerate the transition to a simpler, smarter “next-generation data center” that forms the foundation for continuing business growth.

Within HP, we’re facing these challenges in our own company-wide transformation program. We’ve consolidated 85 data centers into just 6. And we’re driving key initiatives in areas such as energy efficiency, capacity utilization, 24x7 resiliency and service automation.

Drawing on this experience and our work at enterprises worldwide, we’ve broadened the scope of HP’s data center transformation services to encompass every major domain: facilities, infrastructure, applications, operations and processes. And we’ve extended our reach across the lifecycle from strategy and design through transition and ongoing management.

What is the right number of data centers? What are the best locations? The most efficient power and cooling approaches? Should you renovate or rebuild?

Whether your goal is creating a new data center, updating an existing one, consolidating infrastructure or improving ROI, HP Critical Facilities Services — Critical Facilities Consulting, Critical Facilities Design, and Critical Facilities Assurance — can help.

Our experienced professionals integrate facilities-level strategic planning, design and operations services with infrastructure optimization to create data centers that enhance business continuity, energy and space utilization and overall performance and availability.

Better asset utilization. Lower costs. Smaller footprints. Greater agility. Virtualization is a proven transformation enabler.

HP’s Data Center Virtualization Services can help you explore a virtualization strategy or target specific technology sprawl, management or scalability issues. We assess the impact of virtualization on servers, clients, storage and applications. We work with you to define a virtualization strategy and select the right technology. We assist in capacity planning, solution design, transition and staff education. We can even help develop appropriate governance and shared services solutions for your virtualized environment.

Imagine leapfrogging to standardized, consolidated applications such as Microsoft Exchange Server and SAP running on systems optimized for availability, performance and security. All without the major capital outlays that application modernization would typically require.

HP Adaptive Infrastructure as a Service offers a cost-effective way to jump-start your transformation initiative. It helps you achieve your business objectives faster with automated provisioning of expertly managed business-critical infrastructure. We manage your transition and host your applications at one of our global data centers — while you access the latest technology and reduce ownership and operations costs.
