HP today expanded its Total Care initiative for small and midsize businesses (SMBs) with several new products, solutions and services that reduce costs, improve productivity and enhance efficiency.⁽¹⁾

To help SMB customers keep their businesses up and running with less capital and fewer employees and technology resources, HP has introduced infrastructure offerings including storage, virtualization, remote access and consolidation solutions.

“In today’s economic climate, SMBs need technology solutions that take out costs while helping drive even greater competitive advantage so they can survive and thrive,” said Kathy Chou, vice president, Worldwide Small and Medium Business Strategy, HP. “Through our Total Care initiative, HP is helping customers achieve their business goals.”

I attended their Small Business Meeting and it was great to meet different members of the HP team and see what innovations they were announcing in order to meet the SMB sector, interestingly the topics seemed to be around reducing costs, coping with extra demand as well as environmental sustainability.  There were a range of technologies announced/discussed including:

• HP StorageWorks X1000 and X3000 Network Storage Systems – this brings storage in a box, including file deduplication, increased useable capacity and file serving performance.
• HP StorageWorks 2000i and 2000sa G2 Modualr Smart Arrays – this brings further storage opportunities to scale in line with business need, now offering iSCSI and Fibre Channel connecitvity.
• HP Virtualization Bundle – a range of solutions to help businesses with their virtualization projects and requirements through a range of software and hardware.
