HP has announced an extension of its BladeSystem Solution Builder programme to enable additional independent software vendors (ISVs) to build solutions that customers can quickly deploy and easily manage in a Converged Infrastructure.
HP is the first major technology vendor working with a broad set of application ISVs to directly link the Converged Infrastructure to the application workloads running on it. HP currently has a network of more than 5,000 industry-leading vertical and infrastructure ISV partners who are an integral part of providing solutions to customers.
“Customers today are grappling with silos of infrastructure and are looking to simplify their data centers, as well as maximize the value of their technology investments,” said Santanu Ghose, Country Head, Infrastructure Software and Blades, HP India. “With solutions such as HP BladeSystem Matrix, customers can align business initiatives with technology, creating a business-ready infrastructure that automatically adapts as market and business conditions change.”
The HP Converged Infrastructure portfolio now includes new solutions capabilities developed with leading software vendors. New application infrastructure templates for HP BladeSystem Matrix (Matrix) represent best practice implementation and enable fast provisioning of complex infrastructures in minutes instead of months.
HP is currently including Matrix in its Partner Technology Access Centers (PTAC) as well as developing new integration testing services to help HP ISV partners integrate, test and optimize their unique capabilities for a converged infrastructure.
