• HP Data Center Consolidation services – These include design, transition and support services to help customers reduce the number of their facilities. As a result, customers reduce energy and operating costs while maintaining the ability to support business growth with a robust, flexible infrastructure.
• HP Data Center Virtualization services – The HP virtualization portfolio has been enhanced with new design, support and education services that help customers create a virtual infrastructure from their physical technology assets. This includes virtualization across servers, storage, networks and applications.

As more and more companies reach capacity in their data center, or struggle with upscaling their infrastructure to meet the business needs, HP announces these new services with a focus on helping companies with their consolidation or virtualization projects.

Very cool, and a great way of raising revenue whilst gaining exposure to new markets, and showing how technolog can be an enabler to your business if it’s deployed in the right way.

I wonder if we will see any announcements or advice in terms of best practice or strategy for your virtualization or consolidation project. We’ll need to wait and see.
