HP and Microsoft Corp. today announced a three-year agreement to invest $250 million to significantly simplify technology environments for businesses of all sizes.

The companies plan to deliver new solutions that will:

* be built on a next-generation infrastructure-to-application model;
* advance cloud computing by speeding application implementation; and
* eliminate complexities of IT management and automate existing manual processes to lower the overall costs.

This agreement represents the industry’s most comprehensive technology stack integration to date – from infrastructure to application – and is intended to substantially improve the customer experience for developing, deploying and managing IT environments.

An interesting announcement from HP and Microsoft, I wonder what future products and services we might see as a result of this three year agreement, anything we can do to improve the return on investment, reduce deployment times, and assist business leaders in getting empowerment from their technology has to be a good thing. I’m off to read up more, do check it out.
