HP brings agility to data centers with Infrastructure Automation | #HPDiscover
Seamus Dunne, Vice President of Datacenter Services at HP, talked about the some of the latest developments of HP Datacenter Care in his live interview with theCUBE at HP Discover Barcelona.
“What we focused on is helping you better operate what you have today,” said Dunne. “We’re going to help take you on the journey to whatever stage of the new style of the IT you want to be on.”
Dunne explained that over the last two years, HP has noticed that “IT is not as agile as it needs to be, and it’s holding back business.”
To make IT more agile, HP has been working on Datacenter Care – Infrastructure Automation, which “puts together a set of advisory services, processes, and tools” to create a “programmable”data center.
“The key is to get more out of the IT that you have today,” Dunne said. “Adding Infrastructure Automation is going to allow you to automate and really software-control your data center.”
Dunne explains that the majority of enterprise customers want hybrid solutions for data centers, taking advantage of both on-premise IT and cloud-based solutions.
“The security, the compliance, the latency, the performance–they need an on-premise value proposition,” Dunne said. “But their expectations for their data center – in terms of the agility, the flexibility, the economics – are being set by the public cloud experience.”
