Finding the right cloud solutions for your organization

If you manage technology today, you know the story: everything is mobile, connected, interactive, immediate, and fluid. Expectations are high. On any given day, it's all about service delivery. You need to provide technology-enabled services to your people whenever and wherever they need them-and you need to do it cost-effectively, securely, and quickly. This is one of the driving forces behind the rise in cloud computing. Cloud computing can provide new levels of collaboration, agility, speed, and cost savings for enterprises of any size and type.

HP is driving the evolution of what we call the Instant-On Enterprise. It is an enterprise that embeds technology into everything it does to better serve citizens, partners, employees, and clients. We believe that today's Instant-On Enterprises need to think differently about how they source and deliver services that are enabled by technology. They need to take advantage of a hybrid delivery model-one that truly optimizes the mix between traditional IT, private cloud, and public cloud.

Measuring the Business Value of CI in the Data Center

One of the key strategies that IT teams are pursuing to reduce capital costs while boosting asset utilization and employee productivity is the transition to highly virtualized data centers. However, IDC finds that expectations for further boosts in IT asset use and operational efficiency often surpass the actual results for a variety of reasons. These problems can quickly overwhelm any hoped-for benefits as the scope of virtual server deployment expands.

HP, a global provider of IT solutions and an early innovator in converged infrastructure systems, provides a complete portfolio of hardware, software, and services for enabling greater/faster deployment of converged infrastructure solutions in data center environments. More important, HP is also delivering the advanced orchestration management software that will make it possible for IT organizations to effectively obtain the maximum business value from these investments.

Building Cloud-Optimized Data Center Networks white paper

Enterprises are turning to the Cloud to improve business agility, reduce expenses and accelerate business innovation. Cloud computing redefines the way IT assets are deployed and consumed and dramatically affects the way data center networks are architected and managed. Conventional hierarchical data center networks built to support traditional IT architectures can't meet the security, agility and price/performance requirements of virtualized cloud computing environments. This white paper reviews the impact of cloud computing on data center networks and describes HP's approach to building simpler, more secure and automated networks that fully meet the stringent performance, security, reliability and agility demands of the new data center in the Cloud.

Defining Tier One Storage in the Modern Data Center

This report defines "tier-1" storage in the modern IT world and in the data centers and services that support it. What was a simple environment just a few years ago with mainframes or a few large servers to be supported has evolved into a complex web of virtual machines, clouds, and expanding user expectations -- factors which demand and create flexibility, but do so in a way that pushes a lack of predictability upon the storage infrastructure. Learn what your criteria should be for tier-1 storage.

Gartner: Magic Quadrant for Midrange and High-End Modular Disk Arrays

This Magic Quadrant represents vendors that sell into the end-user market with branded midrange and high-end modular disk array storage systems that support block-access protocols. Despite rather gloomy macroeconomic conditions worldwide and ongoing geopolitical unrest in the Middle East, the midrange and high-end modular disk array storage market grew 8.2% from 3Q10 through 2Q11, compared with the same period the year before. Propelled by technological innovation and enhanced scalability, this continued growth in vendor revenue supports the observation that IT executives are willing to invest in modern midrange and high-end modular disk storage systems to improve operational efficiency, to support deployments of virtualized IT infrastructures, and to address the impact of unabated terabyte growth.

IDG Tech Dossier: Converged Storage ~ A Next Gen Virtualized Architecture

Organizations need a strategy for rearchitecting storage so that it enables, rather than constricts, the delivery of IT services. According to HP, it's all about Converged Storage, which breaks through the barriers, reducing complexity so that IT can expand storage on a "pay as you grow" basis. It involves the creation a pool of storage based on modular building blocks that can be moved and reconfigured on the fly to support a range of needs. In fact, HP's approach to Converged Storage incorporates several core capabilities - read this tech dossier sponsored by HP + Intel to learn more.

IDG Tech Dossier: Converged Storage ~ A Next Gen Storage Strategy for Big Data

Implementing Converged Storage is an evolution and does not require immediate wholesale replacement of current systems. But by putting a plan into place now, enterprises can optimize their current storage investments while building toward a converged future and accruing concomitant benefits along the way. Virtualization and cloud computing can help corporate IT meet these demands by helping it become more flexible and agile. But the ultimate solution is to transform the way IT is delivered. Many enterprises have already started on the journey toward a full IT as a service (ITaaS) model, which HP and Intel aptly call the Instant-On Enterprise.
