“To help SMB customers keep their businesses up and running with less capital and fewer employees and technology resources, HP has introduced infrastructure offerings including storage, virtualisation, remote access and consolidation solutions,” said HP vice president, worldwide small and medium business strategy, Kathy Chou.
“In today’s economic climate, SMBs need technology solutions that take out costs while helping drive even greater competitive advantage so they can survive and thrive,” said Chou. “Through our Total Care initiative, HP is helping customers achieve their business goals.”
Chou said that SMBs can better manage data growth through solutions such as HP StorageWorks X1000 and X3000 Network Storage Systems, which unify and simplify file and application storage infrastructures.
Simplify to survive
“With a single, unified system, SMBs do not need to invest in separate storage systems for file and database data,” she said. “The new network-attached storage solutions provide up to 35 per cent more usable capacity through file deduplication, while also increasing file serving performance by up to 30 per cent.”
“AMI has surveyed thousands of SMBs over the past 10 months and the results show that to survive in this economy, taking costs out of their business and improving data management are high on their agendas,” said Anil Miglani, senior vice president of strategy consulting firm AMI Partners. “SMBs need products and solutions designed from the ground up to help them meet these goals while also focusing on growing their business. HP is well-positioned to help SMB customers thrive in this economy because of its comprehensive Total Care portfolio.”
