PALO ALTO, Calif., Nov. 30, 2009 – HP today announced new integrations of the recently introduced HP Converged Infrastructure architecture for Microsoft applications, enabling customers to simplify the management of their computing environments while increasing efficiency.

The proliferation of IT sprawl has created technology silos in data centers with maintenance and operations consuming approximately 70 percent of an organization’s technology budget.⁽¹⁾

HP and Microsoft collaborated to help customers address this problem by delivering HP solutions for Microsoft® Exchange Server 2010 and Windows® Server 2008 R2. These solutions simplify the data center environment and reduce costs by increasing infrastructure utilization, reducing power use and gaining efficiencies in application deployment and management.

With new HP BladeSystem Matrix templates, HP reference architectures and HP Services for Microsoft environments, customers can maximize the value of Microsoft applications by establishing a converged server, storage and network technology that is highly efficient, automated and virtualized.

“Customers are looking for solutions to transform unmanageable infrastructures so they can better address changing business demands,” said Paul Miller, vice president, marketing, Enterprise Storage, Servers and Networking, HP. “HP’s Converged Infrastructure provides a blueprint for unifying servers, storage, networks, power and cooling with facilities into a single environment, optimized for both physical and virtual workloads and perfectly suited for Microsoft applications.”

Continuing to extend the offerings of the Matrix concept brings further opportunities to the HP platform in terms of convergence and in reducing deployment times. The more barriers to success we can remove in terms of deployment and in doing so delivery, the more we can illustrate IT as an enabler to the business goals, create new opportunities for revenue and business improvement.
