The HP Converged Infrastructure Road Show – Thursday, August 26th, 2010
Hosted at the Westin - Edina Galleria, MN
From Green IT and virtualization to cloud computing, today's mega-trends demand a new approach to infrastructure—an infrastructure that matches the supply of IT resources with the demand for business applications. Attendees:
- Learned how to rebalance your IT budget with less on operations and more on innovation with an HP Converged Infrastructure
- Saw how HP is helping businesses like yours reduce expenses by $48,380 USD per 100 users*
- Saw how businesses are implementing a comprehensive solution to rebalance budget and realigning today’s traditional technology silos into adaptive pools that can be shared by any application, optimized and managed as a service.
- Learned that by transitioning away from a product-centric approach that has created unyielding IT sprawl to a shared-service management model, you can accelerate standardization, reduce operational costs and accelerate business results:
- Deliver any application, anywhere, on the fly
- Flex resources on demand in an optimized way
- Unleash productivity of administrators and systems
- Provide predictable, continuity of service
- Accelerate time to business value from IT investments
