In a mobile, connected and immediate world, organizations need to prepare for rapid market changes and speed delivery of services. Many organizations want to move toward a more efficient, service-oriented, cloud-based service delivery model but they must overcome the inflexibility and high costs created by IT sprawl, while ensuring people and processes are aligned.
HP expanded portfolio of services helps Asia Pacific and Japan (APJ) organizations optimize their current IT infrastructure while laying the groundwork for cloud-based approaches. Organizations are adopting a HP Converged Cloud portfolio which includes:
