Quotes

“Cost management and agility are top of mind for chief information officers, yet significant portions of technology budgets are invested in maintenance instead of innovation,” said Duncan Campbell, vice president, Adaptive Infrastructure, HP. “HP is building on our AI initiative by delivering offerings to meet challenges customers face today as they scrutinize their technology choices, and to help them emerge strong when the economy improves.”

“Customers are eagerly prioritizing their datacenter investments. They need to improve their infrastructure, both now and for the future, without requiring a complete overhaul, said Jonathan Eunice, principal IT advisor, Illuminata. “HP management solutions like Insight Dynamics – VSE fit this requirement well by helping to streamline datacenter operations and flexibly dial IT resources up or down as conditions change.”
