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.

As you know, everything is mobile, connected, interactive, and immediate. This is exactly why organizations need a highly agile IT infrastructure in order to keep pace with extreme fluctuations in business demand. This book will help you understand why infrastructure convergence has been widely accepted as the optimal approach for simplifying and accelerating your IT to deliver services at the speed of business while also shifting significantly more IT resources from operations to innovation.

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.

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.

Given the complexity of their operations and their relatively sophisticated staffs, enterprise IT departments were the first computing customers to broadly embrace data center virtualization. Small to medium businesses (SMBs) soon followed suit, attracted by the same IT and business benefits that virtualization offers to larger firms. A recent IDG Research Services survey of SMB IT managers reveals that data center virtualization has become a high-priority investment for them.

Server virtualization is a transformative technology offering a myriad of benefits to companies of all sizes. By consolidating hardware and placing multiple virtual machines on a single server, organizations can decrease both capital and operational expenses while boosting server utilization rates and easing management. This paper explores how the right processor platform can maximize virtualization benefits for mid-sized companies.

Mid-market corporations increasingly rely on technology to serve as the enablers and accelerators of the business-not just to reduce costs but also to empower new business initiatives and increase the top line. This means that IT leaders are under intense pressure to reduce costs, while making services increasingly functional and reliable. Mid-Market companies must move quickly to capture competitive advantages. Read on and see what Nemertes Research found out and recommends to IT leaders for making their infrastructure agile.

When it comes to desktop virtualization, most IT pros focus on the hypervisor. But the underlying hardware, particularly the server CPUs, plays a critical role. This paper details how to enhance VDI implementation with quick access to real memory and the highest - 12 cores per processor available today.
