Technology is playing a central role in the unstable business environment as it provides companies with the tools to be more flexible, innovative and intelligent, an independent study commissioned by HP revealed recently.

At least 90% of business executives surveyed said the economy will continue to be unpredictable in the next few years, leading to a significant 80% who realize the need for more flexibility in terms of technology investment.

Because of this, innovation will play a key role in driving business results (84%), leading to more technology investments from the enterprise side (71%).

It is because of these realities that HP is aligning its strategy for next year, focusing on establishing a converged infrastructure for businesses. ”Technology is a fundamental contributor to business innovation,” said Ann Livermore, executive vice president, HP Enterprise Business. “With HP’s portfolio of products, services and solutions, organizations can build technology environments that deliver the outcomes that matter today and tomorrow.”

HP’s converged infrastructure architecture, which forms from a host of products, solutions and services, hopes to address IT sprawl, which is the main cause of maintenance-focused IT spend.

Its Infrastructure Operating Environment, for example, consolidates application-specific processes and tools into a shared environment which speeds up business processes.

Increasing needs to virtualize networks, servers and desktops, meanwhile, can be addressed through HP’s Virtual Resource Pools, enabling I T administrators to call up specific applications or services as the need arises, the company said.

HP’s Enterprise Services, on the other hand, allow companies to outsource all or a part of their infrastructure to HP, depending on their business needs.

All of HP’s recent rollouts can be funded using its flexible financing solutions for customers deploying HP Converged Infrastructure, through HP Financial Services, it added. – John Mark V. Tuazon
