The Little Fuchsia Book of HPE Data Center Solutions

Introduction The data center has become a core focus of the digital economy. It s always been an important, though quiet, IT function, operating behind closed doors without much fanfare. But the data hub has emerged as an organization s lifeline, tying the hyperconnected world of e-commerce to a physical location a vital process that now completely controls the continuity of daily operations in most businesses. Things move so fast in the digital space that data centers must be capable of reflecting the changing times, using the latest technologies to help businesses meet the demands of the marketplace and gain a competitive edge. Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE) makes data centers more efficient, productive and secure, enabling fast, flexible responses to a rapidly changing competitive landscape. With a 75-year track record of innovation, global research and development capabilities, HPE is a leader in transforming the traditional technology platforms into the IT systems of the future. Let s look at four ways HPE data center solutions can help your business. Implement a hybrid infrastructure. Sometimes the key to the success of a product or service is the time it takes from idea to implementation. In our current economy, disruption is taking conventional ideas and changing the marketplace one well-executed idea at a time. Businesses need an infrastructure they can count on that moves at the speed of the market to help them achieve and maintain a competitive edge. There is no one-size-fits-all solution to an optimized IT environment. The right mix for your business can depend on your industry, region and business size, among other factors. It s about finding the right platform for each application, workload and service that will suit your current needs and scale to your future. The right solutions for you may mean implementing cloud agility without sacrificing security and reliability. HPE offers the HPE Helion Suite on a proven, open-source platform, and converged systems like the Hyper Converged 380 (HC380) to deliver all of the IT solutions your applications demand. The HPE hybrid infrastructure enables the CIO to become a revenue generator within the organization rather than a cost center, according to 451 Research.1 HPE delivers all of the infrastructure software and systems needed to leverage new and existing IT to reduce costs and improve storage and networking capabilities.

Empower your business with data. At this point in time, you likely: Have a website with an e-commerce function Are storing orders from various client types with seasonal highs and lows Have an app from which users can purchase or engage with your content And teammates are storing files and loading work applications on their devices, on the company server or in the public cloud. You re collecting data across multiple endpoints, and the more sophisticated the technology, the more data you re gathering. Are you prepared to interpret and store all of these insights that will only grow exponentially as teammates and clients become more connected? Gartner forecasts the number of connected things in use worldwide will reach 20.8 billion by 2020.2 The answer isn t to collect less data. This information, if used properly, can be your company s lifeblood. HPE will help you take the data demands of the digital age captive with actionable intelligence that works for your organization. HPE can help you assemble all of that unstructured data to build a road map for your company s success. Software like HPE Intelligent Data Operating Layer (IDOL) will help you gather and interpret your data in real time. You ll get better insights using your traditional IT and gain new endpoints as you grow. The results will be greater operational efficiencies and improved customer engagement, for a positive impact on your bottom line. Enable workplace productivity. From the CEO at your organization to the most junior employee, becoming more productive internally means providing accelerated service to your clients. In this scenario, everyone s happy: The sales team is hitting its numbers quickly. IT teammates are patting themselves on the back for quicker response times and fewer tickets. The CEO is bringing good news to the board. Marketing is happy because social scores are high and the press just presented the company with the annual Best Place to Work award. What if allowing your team seamless, instant access to information from anywhere and your customers the ability to more easily transact on every channel didn t have to be so difficult?

With the amount of data we collect and rely on for our daily business operations increasing, monitoring, risk management and security measures must become more proactive and sophisticated. According to a 2015 global study conducted by the Ponemon Institute, cybercrimes continue to be on the rise for organizations year over year, and all industries fall victim.3 The good news is a comprehensive security intelligence system can use your existing big data to help inform patterns and predict potential outcomes.
