Business Drivers
Ageing x86 infrastructures cost more to run and support than many organisations realise – with server sprawl, rising power and cooling costs and increasing management overheads. According to IDC, the purchase price of a server only accounts for 25% of the overall cost of running the system over 3 years. The other 75% is related to keeping it running – managing, powering and keeping it cool. As much as 80% of current x86 servers have reached a mature lifecycle and are ready for refresh. HP is uniquely positioned to deliver leading ROI with solutions optimised to work together and adapt to future technology and business change.
Opportunity Spotting
