HP Delivers New Technology and Services Portfolio Designed for Growing Service Provider Market

According to IDC, a majority of organizations will stop managing their own infrastructure over the next five years. Instead, these organizations will make greater use of dedicated and shared cloud offerings in service provider data centers.1 To capitalize on these changes, service providers – software-as-a-service, infrastructure-as-a-service, telco/communication service providers, managed hosters, and consumer service providers – need an efficient infrastructure that is highly scalable and supports business growth.  They also need flexible business models that better align costs to revenue.  Additionally, they need to be able to address customer’s increasing expectations for service level agreements.

Addressing the needs of today’s enterprises, HP announced a new portfolio designed specifically for the needs of service providers to create differentiated services that includes servers, networking and Service Provider Ready solutions for increased speed and agility, and drive business growth.

HP’s new workload-optimized solutions, flexible business models and partnerships help service providers launch differentiated services faster in the market and stay competitive.

“Service providers must adjust to meet ever-increasing customer demands for simplicity, security and availability – they can no longer compete on cost alone,” said Vikram K, Director, Servers, HP India. “HP is delivering systems, built on open-design principles, combined with services and solutions that allow service providers to move fast, launch new services and grow their business in a sustainable way.”

“The industries we serve – including regulated industries like financial services and life sciences – require secure collaboration solutions that make it safe and easy to share valuable information anywhere, on any device,” said Ron Hovsepian, Intralinks CEO. “HP’s leadership in cloud with HP Helion and service provider ready solutions gives us yet another strategic advantage in delivering world-class, secure content collaboration solutions to enterprises worldwide.”

Increase speed and agility

To increase speed and agility, HP provides flexible business models for “pay-as-you-grow” financing and tailored support and services.

HP Datacenter Care for Service Providers is a flexible, comprehensive, relationship-based approach to personalized support and management of heterogeneous data centers. It includes tested and globally available services in areas such as reactive support, proactive support and consulting services. With these services, HP helps service providers reduce complexity and risk, save time and costs, improve availability and performance, and free staff to concentrate on innovation.

Additionally, HP Flexible Capacity’s “pay-as-you-grow” model offers immediate access to storage, server and networking resources located on-site so service providers can scale quickly and pay only for the capacity used.

Grow the business

Through the HP PartnerOne Service Provider program, service providers around the world deliver hosting, managed and cloud-based services that meet the most stringent business needs. HP and partners share product roadmaps, jointly plan solutions, collaborate on a technical level, and implement joint go-to-market plans. As a result, they can offer more streamlined and integrated offerings to help grow the business.
