HP introduced the HP Flexible Data Center (HP Flexible DC) that would cut the capital investment for designing and building data centers for clients, and would also decrease their carbon footprint.
The patent-pending HP Flexible DC offers a standardized, modular approach to designing and building data centers which allows customers to replace traditional data center designs with a flexible solution, according to a press release.
“Clients, such as financial service providers, government entities, and cloud and co-location hosts, will find the scalable and modular nature of HP Flexible DC a compelling option,” said Biswanath Bhattacharya, Director, Technology Services, HP India. “HP can help clients innovate the way they build and operate a Greenfield data center for greater savings over its life span.”
HP Flexible DC is based on a butterfly design which features four pre-fabricated quadrants, or modules, that stem off a central administrative section. The offering uses industrial components to improve cost efficiencies as well as a streamlined building process with a variety of options for power and cooling distribution.
Features of HP Flexible DC involve:
• Prefabricated, standardized components which would enable clients to shorten the time it takes to build and deploy a data center, finally resulting in investing lower capital costs and faster time to market
• The modular design would help the clients’ ability to increase scalable capacity while retaining specified levels of reliability and redundancy
• Specific configurations would optimize the use of power and cooling resources to lower energy and water use, enabling clients to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and a facility’s carbon footprint
HP Flexible DC is available through HP Critical Facilities Services. “The pressure to save on capital and operating expenditures is one of the most critical issues facing enterprises today,” said David J Cappuccio, Vice President and Chief of Research, Gartner. “When building new data centers, clients need to consider options that support business growth, while also saving time and costs.
