HP Delivers the Instant-on Enterprise for Business and Government
Integrated solutions help enterprises turn on new
ways to serve customers and citizens
PALO ALTO, Calif., Nov. 2, 2010 - HP today unveiled its vision for the "Instant-On
Enterprise" - organizations that embed technology into everything they do in order
to better address the rapidly changing needs of customers and citizens.
HP also announced new integrated solutions that help businesses and governments
create their own Instant-On Enterprise.
With the adoption of mobile and cloud computing, everything is becoming
connected and immediate. As a result, customers and citizens expect responses in
seconds and "instants," instead of weeks and days.
New research conducted on behalf of HP reveals the role of IT is shifting from
chiefly being the administrator of the enterprise, to becoming one and the same
with the enterprise.(1)
o 86 percent of senior business and government executives believe that to better
serve customers and citizens they must rapidly adapt the enterprise to meet
changes in consumer expectations.
o 78 percent believe that technology is the key to business and government
innovation.
o 85 percent indicated that in order to be successful, technology needs to be
embedded in the business or government service.
With its new integrated solutions, HP is helping organizations reinvent their use of
technology to deliver innovation at every point in the value chain within the
enterprise. This includes the services that are delivered, the mobile devices that
provide the access, and the global data centers required to power the Instant-On
Enterprise.
"It takes a special kind of enterprise to close the expectation gap between what
customers and citizens expect and what the enterprise can deliver," said Thomas E.
Hogan, executive vice president, Enterprise Sales, Marketing and Strategy, HP.
"The Instant-On Enterprise delivers differentiated competitive advantage, serving
customers, employees, partners and citizens with whatever they want and need,
instantly - only HP has the solutions to help organizations become Instant-On
Enterprises."
HP's new foundational set of integrated solutions - based on the company's broad
portfolio of hardware, software, services and intellectual property - offers
businesses and governments the tools they need to modernize, transform, secure,
optimize and deliver the Instant-On Enterprise.
o HP Application Transformation solutions: HP transforms applications and
processes designed for another era. HP helps enterprises gain control over
aging applications and inflexible processes that challenge innovation and
agility by governing their responsiveness and pace of change.
o HP Converged Infrastructure solutions: HP breaks through traditional, rigid IT
silos with a converged infrastructure specifically engineered to drive out costs
and provide the foundation for agile service delivery. Through the integration of
server, storage, networking and management resources, HP delivers the data
center of the future.
o HP Enterprise Security solutions: HP secures the entire IT infrastructure by
addressing all aspects of security - people, processes, technology and content.
HP's portfolio of products and services aligns security to meet ever-changing
business and government demands without losing flexibility.
o HP Information Optimization solutions: HP helps organizations rethink how
information is gathered, stored and used - harnessing the power of information
and ensuring its integrity and protection while delivering it in the context of the
enterprise.
In an Instant-On Enterprise, value is designed, built and delivered in the form of
technology-enabled services. Leading enterprises recognize there is no "one"
singular model of delivery that can be optimized to meet all core service needs.
Enterprises will continue to operate in environments containing traditional
outsourced and cloud services for the foreseeable future. HP Hybrid Delivery helps
clients develop a delivery strategy for their services. It also helps clients to build,
manage and consume services using the right delivery model for them.
To help customers on their Instant-On journey, HP also announced two new HP
Hybrid Delivery services.
o HP Hybrid Delivery Strategy Service provides clients with a structured
understanding of the programs, projects and main activities required to move
to, as well as manage, a hybrid delivery model. This offering provides clients
with a patent-pending, model-driven framework to introduce hybrid delivery
concepts into their existing environments.
o HP Hybrid Delivery Workload Analysis Service analyzes an enterprise's
complement of workloads and applications to determine the best fit and
compatibility for hybrid environments. With a unique portfolio of analysis
software, HP experts gather service usage and demand profile data, and then
develop a set of recommendations on how to best characterize and combine
workloads in hybrid environments.
