Stay competitive in a dynamic business
environment
No matter what the global business climate,
businesses are always looking to stay competitive.
The recommended route towards gaining a
competitive advantage is to improve the business cost
structure and enhance organizational efficiency. Many
organizations choose to consolidate branch offices
to cut capital and operational expenses and focus on
increasing productivity of frontline employees at these
offices. What’s more, as more employees take on the
responsibility of generating revenue and customer
relationships start to depend on a consolidated
IT infrastructure, reducing business disruption
becomes crucial.
How can your business cut costs, lower risk of
disruption, and enhance business productivity?
It’s simple. Implement branch office consolidation
solutions that integrate your technology infrastructure,
protect business-critical data, and empower your
employees to work smarter.
HP Branch Office Consolidation
Solutions for your business
HP Branch Office Consolidation Solutions for
midsize businesses have been designed to address
your specific business needs. At HP, we understand
that for a small or midsize business, IT efficiency
is critical. But so is delivering more business value.
Additionally, you have to factor in realities like
data growth and complexity, business disruptions,
communication breakdowns, increased competition,
consolidation, and acquisitions. With so much going
on and resources so stretched, it can be difficult to
tackle challenges both efficiently and strategically.
Regardless of what your business challenges are, one
imperative trumps them all: Do more with less.
Fortunately, it also echoes a revolution taking place
right now. Virtualization, cloud-based software and
services, and the convergence of new and existing
technologies are making it possible for us to get
more done with fewer resources. Costly IT silos are
being transformed into end-to-end infrastructures that
integrate technical components, automate processes,
and simplify technology from purchase to retirement.
At HP, we call this a “Converged Infrastructure.”
It’s all about delivering modular, standards-based
technologies designed for convergence. The result
is an infrastructure that simplifies, integrates, and
automates it all: storage, networking, servers,
management software, even power and cooling. And
the efficiency gains allow you to shift the bulk of your
IT budget from operations to business innovations.
The components of an HP Converged Infrastructure
deliver the value you need today by positioning you
to manage, protect, and grow your business through
each pain point and milestone.
It’s the future of IT—available today for your
business. HP is a recognized leader of the IT
convergence movement. With the world’s largest
technology portfolio, we have the building blocks
and the resources to pull it all together to provide
the Converged Infrastructure solution that meets
your specific needs. From your first virtualized
server to predefined solutions that target specific
business milestones, we can help you achieve the
benefits of convergence wherever you are on your
infrastructure journey.

a tightly integrated and streamlined Converged
Infrastructure to help manage, protect, and grow
business.
