Consider the Business Impact

At Computacenter, we focus on the real-world impact of IT. Really improving your server-based infrastructure could be regarded as a big incentive for change. So if you would like to demonstrate tangible benefits to business users, budget holders and fellow IT colleagues alike, then read on to assess the advantage of buying HP ProLiant and BladeSystem solutions from Computacenter.

Reduce Energy Bills: with HP ProLiant Servers, you can save up to 69% on energy costs – HP have an holistic approach to solve the power and cooling problem by focussing on three key areas; efficient systems to reduce power consumption, flexible designs to increase power density and energy aware provisioning to optimise power utilisation by employing tools such as HP's unique power regulator and thermal logic solutions.

Commonality: no other server brand provides more commonality, which helps cut costs. HP provide commonality across many areas including cable management, rail systems, fan assemblies, switches and fasteners. This consistency greatly simplifies the set-up, operations and service of Proliant Servers. From processors to memory, SATA to SCSI disks and more, HP ProLiant gives you freedom through Universal Options interchangeability. °

Performance: real world system performance is important. HP has a ProLiant server to match any requirement and meet your exact needs. HP ProLiants servers lead benchmarks in SAP® Oracle®, Exchange®, Domino® and SQL Server®. HP also offers a choice between AMD™ and Intel®, so you've got the best processor for the job and support from a suite of advanced management software.

Management: HP ProLiant servers are all about manageability. Built from the ground up, HP delivers the widest, most consistent manageability tools through HP Systems Insight Manager (SIM), a single window into your entire server infrastructure.

Essentials: through HP ProLiant Essentials (of which SIM is a key part), you can short cut all kinds of labour intensive tasks. For example, you can deploy multiple servers in minutes with HP Rapid Deployment Pack. It lets you use the same server image across many different HP ProLiant server types and operating systems.

HP ProLiant is the world’s best selling server brand, having shipped more than 10 million units. It’s easy to migrate too. With the unique Physical to HP ProLiant (P2P) feature, you can simply drag-and-drop a server image from any make of server to a new HP ProLiant server. It really is that simple. HP ProLiant servers are the market leaders in removing complexity from managing hardware and software.
