Converged Infrastructure Architecture

The Blueprint behind the Data Center of the future

Accelerate your move to a Converged Infrastructure

HP Converged Infrastructure delivers a systematic approach to accelerate time-to-business value by helping you overcome the inflexibility and high costs created by data center, application, and IT sprawl and shift more resources to innovation.

This is achieved through a blueprint for the data center of the future that accelerates the provisioning of IT services and applications by integrating servers, storage, networking, security, power, cooling and facilities into shared pools of interoperable resources – all managed through a common management platform. This unique approach helps your business accelerate application delivery in a predictable, repeatable way that makes the most efficient use of IT, facility and staff resources to drive business innovation.


Deploy the data center of the future, today

When you look at the underlying architecture, there are four key pillars that need to converge in the most optimal way. These pillars represent the Converged Infrastructure architectural framework for delivering infrastructure convergence either all at once, or through modular, standards-based building blocks. The result is an environment that is virtualized to increase utilization; resilient to enable the availability needed by mission-critical applications; open to provide choice; orchestrated to speed change and reduce operations cost; and, modular for deployment at your own pace and preference.
