In an interview with our reporters, HP’s Enterprise Servers, Storage and Networking (ESSN) country manager for South Africa, Manoj Bhoola, said in a world of continuous connectivity, the Instant-On Enterprise embeds technology that would do everything it does to better address the rapidly changing needs of customers and citizens.
He said HP also announced a foundational set of integrated solutions – based on the company’s broad portfolio of hardware, software services and intellectual property – that offers businesses and governments the tools they need to modernise, transform, secure, optimise and deliver the Instant-On Enterprise.
In order to help customers on their Instant-On journey, HP also announced two new HP Hybrid Delivery services which provide clients with a structured understanding of the programmes, projects and main activities required to move to, as well as manage, a hybrid delivery model.
“This offering provides clients with a patent-pending, model-driven framework to introduce hybrid delivery concepts into their existing environments.
“HP Hybrid Delivery Workload Analysis Service analyses an enterprise’s complement of workloads and applications to determine the best fit and their compatibility for hybrid environments,” said Bhoola.
He said with a unique portfolio of analysis software, HP experts would gather service usage and demand profile data, and then develop a set of recommendations on how to best characterise and combine workloads in hybrid environments.
“The Instant-On Enterprise means that organisations will be able to deliver differentiated competitive advantages, make products, services and information faster, more reliable and provides value to every touch point.
“This enables them to serve customers, employees, partners and citizens with whatever they want and need instantly,” said Bhoola.
Bhoola also siezed the opportunity to announce that HP was also focusing on addressing the CIOs challenges and offering solutions to solve clients’ problems.
“Faced with shifts in consumer/citizen expectations, we’ve shifted our strategy to better address the changing needs of customers and citizens.
“The Instant-On Enterprise zeroes in on people (customers, citizens, employees) and the radical shift in their expectations from businesses and governments. We start from the customer and the service requirements and work back to the solutions, technology, and delivery mode that can best achieve that,” he said.
He said the HP’s Instant-On Enterprise vision was much more thorough in addressing the most important considerations a CIO faces to survive and thrive today.
