STOCKHOLM, 18 oktober 2011 – HP lanserar idag nya tjänster och lösningar baserade på HP Converged Infrastructure. Lösningarna möjliggör för tjänsteleverantörer och företag att snabbt leverera molntjänster och samtidigt optimera befintliga investeringar, minimera risker samt sänka kostnader.
Organisationer är under allt större press att leverera it-resurser som möter kundernas varierande krav och förväntningar. Traditionella datacenter, strikta it-arkitekturer och teknisk spretighet identifieras som barriärer för införande av nya leveransmodeller som tjänstebaserad it och molnlösningar. Att använda en molnstrategi som passar kundens organisation är avgörande för framgång.
”Informationstillgänglighet är en drivande faktor att öka effektiviteten och i förlängningen affärsnyttan i organisationer. HP hjälper företag att anpassa sin molnstruktur efter sin verksamhet, för att på bästa sätt kunna dra nytta av de möjligheter molnbaserad it innebär”, säger Kristina Wiktander, Affärsområdeschef Tjänster, HP Sverige.
HPs nya lösningar innefattar:
-  HP Technology Consulting Services reducerar tiden för planering, formgivning och byggande av molnrelaterad datacenter-strategi, drift och kontinuitet med upp till 40 procent.(1) 
-  Utökad HP CloudSystem-portfölj som inkluderar finansiering, service och utvecklingsresurser samt 100 nya HP Cloud Centers of Excellence över hela världen. Dessa center bidrar till att kunderna kan uppleva HP CloudSystem – branschens mest kompletta, integrerade och öppna plattform för att bygga och hantera tjänster inom privata, offentliga och hybrida molnmiljöer.
-  HP VirtualSystem for Microsoft® och HP VirtualSystem for Superdome 2/HP-UX är nyckelfärdiga hård- och mjukvarulösningar för snabb implementering av optimerade och testade virtuella applikationsmiljöer. Genom kundanpassade konsulttjänster och HP Support kan kunderna rulla ut standardiserade block av applikationer för tusentals användare inom loppet av timmar istället för månader. (2)

”Clients want our help in speeding their transition to cloud computing with proven methodologies and solutions based on HP Converged Infrastructure so they can increase innovation in their markets and better serve their customers,” said Dave Donatelli, executive vice president and general manager, Enterprise Servers, Storage, Networking and Technology Services, HP. ”Our new offerings clearly reflect the best of HP’s skills and technology in driving this evolution for clients, while reducing complexity, costs and risk.”
Transforming the data center for the cloud era
Legacy data centers need a critical transformation to prepare for cloud computing. They must be architected with shorter planning cycles to deliver services instantly, while optimizing operations and improving reliability of those services. This requires better alignment, communications and planning across the organization.
HP services address data center strategy, operations and continuity with the expertise, guidance and proven methodologies clients need to succeed.
-  Data center strategy services reduce time-to-transformation by 40 percent by allowing planning, design and build processes to run concurrently.(1) As a result, clients can accelerate decision making and investment strategies by broadening program communications with executives.
-  Data center operations services lower a facility’s lifetime costs up to 37 percent with design-build improvements for infrastructure integration and facility planning that increase operational efficiency.(2)
-  Data center continuity services allow service providers to easily predict facility and IT infrastructure failures before they occur. With the modular services portfolio, clients can choose the HP Continuous Improvement Program to address availability gaps and reduce unplanned downtime, the HP Reliability Assurance Program to improve continuity, or the HP Disaster Recovery Readiness assessment to identify planning gaps.
Expanding the HP CloudSystem platform
HP CloudSystem is ideal for enterprises and service providers who want to deliver private and public cloud services ranging from compute to Software as a Service. With HP CloudSystem, clients can deploy a new cloud service in minutes or hours, not the weeks or months that a manual method requires. New financing, services and developer resources further extend the value of HP CloudSystem.
-  With HP CloudSystem Financing,(3) part of the company’s program to provide up to $2 billion in financing for cloud projects, qualified customers have easy options to make the move to cloud affordable. First, they can choose a payment plan that can allow them to build their cloud environments without large upfront capital expenditures.  This is critical for chief financial officers (CFOs) and chief information officers (CIOs) looking for a level of predictability with the IT investments they make. Additionally, as part of the HP CloudAgile program for qualified service providers, HP can offer a step payment plan, where payments start small and increase over six to 12 months, so those service providers can ramp their business and better align expenditures with revenue growth.
-  HP CloudSystem Enablement Services offer predefined consulting and integration services that accelerate the build out of a client’s first set of cloud services. The new HP AllianceONE resource center for CloudSystem empowers independent software vendors (ISVs), systems integrators and service providers with a quick-start toolkit that includes sample code, video demonstrations and expert tips.
-  New HP Cloud Centers of Excellence allow key HP channel partners to provide clients with fast, convenient access to live demonstrations of HP cloud solutions based on HP CloudSystem. The centers allow clients to more easily evaluate, test and deploy cloud-based solutions while evaluating their optimal path to the cloud.
Optimizing application service deployment and management
Virtualization is often a foundation for building a cloud infrastructure. With HP VirtualSystems, enterprises and service providers can quickly deploy blocks of applications and capacity to support thousands of users. Running major applications in virtualized environments drives greater flexibility, improved efficiency and lower costs.
-  HP VirtualSystem for Microsoft speeds the virtualization and delivery of diverse, business-critical workloads such as Microsoft SharePoint, Exchange and SQL Server. Through a single console, clients can track application services and pinpoint and resolve issues without downtime across hardware infrastructure, operating system, hypervisor and Microsoft applications.
-  HP Virtual System for Superdome 2/HP-UX accelerates the path to virtualized mission-critical workloads including customer relationship management (CRM), enterprise resource planning (ERP) and core financial applications on HP Integrity systems. The combination of HP-UX 11i v3 and HP Integrity Superdome 2 is tuned for mission-critical applications, delivering the highest levels of resiliency, scalability and virtualization performance.  
In a world of continuous connectivity, the HP Converged Infrastructure is a key element to delivering the Instant-On Enterprise. The Instant-On Enterprise embeds technology in everything it does to serve customers, employees, partners and citizens with whatever they need, instantly.
HP’s premier client event, HP DISCOVER, takes place Nov. 29 – Dec. 1 in Vienna, Austria. The event showcases how organizations can get started on their Instant-On Enterprise journeys.
