HP Converged Infrastructure Announcements
To help clients accelerate their goals, HP today announced new solutions that simplify the deployment of Converged Infrastructure through integrated and optimized solutions that accelerate application delivery, define the next-generation of converged storage and revolutionize how data centers are built in the future.
- Converged Systems – Extend the power of Converged Infrastructure into optimized solutions for virtualization, cloud and next-generation applications.
- Converged Storage - A new architecture for the next generation of storage built on modular building blocks that defines how storage will be delivered for cloud, big data and applications.
- Converged Data Centers - Introducing the world's most efficient data center – the HP POD 240a; the latest innovation of HP's modular data center technology.
Today, HP announced the industry's first portfolio of Converged Systems designed for rapid deployment, maximum performance, and advanced management of application environments. HP Converged Systems simplify and extend the deployment of HP Converged Infrastructure by integrating hardware, software and services into turnkey systems to help businesses harness the full potential of virtualization, cloud and next generation applications such as Real-Time Analytics.
The HP Converged System portfolio includes the HP VirtualSystem, HP CloudSystem, and HP AppSystems optimized for application delivery in virtualized, cloud and dedicated environments and can be delivered as turnkey appliances, built to order or hosted by HP.
HP Converged Storage is a new category of storage solution that fuses scale-out storage software with converged hardware and integrated management. HP Converged Storage is the industry's first common storage architecture to scale performance and capacity without disruption for any data type, storage workload, or capacity point.
The unique modular design of HP Converged Storage enables clients to deploy highly available and scalable storage on the same infrastructure that powers their business applications. To accelerate the introduction of the HP Converged Storage portfolio, HP announced a completely re-architected ecosystem of services, financing, and certification programs to help customers transform their storage infrastructure.
Ideal for data center expansion, new capacity and disaster recovery, or as temporary capacity during data center renovations, the HP POD 240a or 'EcoPOD' delivers maximum density with a no-compromise approach to serviceability. The HP POD 240a can be up and running in as little as 12 weeks–built, configured, tested and in production, compared with 2 years to build a traditional brick and mortar data center.
The modular, pre-engineered approach of HP PODs helps clients increase IT agility and accelerate time to business value from data center investments. With unique HP Adaptive Cooling technology developed in part by HP Labs, the HP POD 240a decrease facilities energy costs by up to 95 percent with a PUE of as low as 1.05 as compared to a 2.0 for a typical brick and mortar data center.
The world is instant. Your enterprise must be too. Industries and governments that capitalize on technology to take time out of the equation will be tomorrow's leaders in today's "Everybody On" era.
- your workers and customers demand a seamless, secure and context-aware experience at home, work or on the road
- IT needs to create an infrastructure that is agile enough to meet fast-changing business demands
- different applications have different functions in the business, there isn't one deployment model that suits them all
