Summary
Today’s businesses face a common set of infrastructure challenges. With
too many applications, too much customization, and underutilized server
capacity, operations costs are spiraling upward.

Infrastructure by helping you better optimize and manage your IT
infrastructure and improve automation of IT service delivery. We work
with you to select the best approach based on your business priorities
and current IT environment.

software, and services from HP and our partners to provide the building

Manager, HP SIM, and HP SMH functional areas can help you lower
cost and simplify management with single-console control over server,
storage and network resources.
