HP is driving the evolution of what we call the Instant-On Enterprise. It is an enterprise that embeds technology into everything it does to better serve citizens, partners, employees, and clients. We believe that today's Instant-On Enterprises need to think differently about how they source and deliver services that are enabled by technology. They need to take advantage of a hybrid delivery model-one that truly optimizes the mix between traditional IT, private cloud, and public cloud.Intel and the Intel logo are trademarks of Intel Corporation in the U.S. and/or other countries.

Solid-state drives (SSDs) typically have been used in situations in which applications required high data throughput or very high transaction rates between a server and the storage media. However, they are now being eyed for broader usage scenarios, because of their myriad of cost-saving benefits. To accomplish the objectives of making more-efficient use of IT resources, lowering power consumption, and reducing operating expenses, many companies are turning to server consolidation and virtualization efforts-endeavors that increase server CPU utilization and reduce the number of discrete servers in a datacenter.
