In just three years, the HP Converged Infrastructure portfolio has outpaced the competition with substantial benefits delivered to business and government customers around the world.

Officials with HP said the company pioneered the converged infrastructure category in 2009 and since then, has invested in the development of leading technologies that deliver modern architectures optimally integrated across servers, storage, networking, security, power and cooling—all administered through a common management platform.

“In 2009, HP identified the unique customer benefits of a converged infrastructure and the requirements placed on every aspect of the data center,” said Stephen DeWitt, senior vice president, enterprise group, HP.

DeWitt said that HP offers the most complete portfolio of converged technologies and integrated systems on the market today.

“We have all of the critical engineering teams under one roof teaming up to drive solutions for both today and tomorrow. We take an open and heterogeneous approach to driving innovation, which is why customers choose HP over incomplete alternatives from competitors such as VCE or Dell (News - Alert),” he said.

HP Converged Infrastructure enables customers to shift resources from IT to innovation, with a modern data center that eliminates complexities and is less expensive to operate, regardless of customer industry, size or unique requirements.

Derek Chan, head of Technology Global Operations at DreamWorks Animation SKG, said HP Converged Infrastructure technologies are increasing the company’s capacity to produce state-of-the-art CG animation—great storytelling combined with stunning visuals. And that’s what audiences expect.

“T-Mobile wanted to accelerate the timing and precision of our marketing campaigns to increase customer and shareholder value. We selected SAP (News - Alert) HANA running on HP Converged Infrastructure to achieve this result,” said Erez Yarkoni, chief information officer, T-Mobile USA, Inc.

“Our decision was easy because there is no other product in the market comparable to HP CloudSystem. Also because it is based on the leading HP Converged Infrastructure approach, this gave us a single vendor solution to simplify implementation and support,” said Lubomir Pinkava, chief technology officer, Casablanca INT.

Hermann Grabner, vice president, IT, Fischer Advanced Composite Components (FACC) said HP was the only vendor able to deliver a complete converged infrastructure with the services the company needed to ensure business continuity for the operations.
