NEW DELHI, INDIA: HP announced enhancements to its Insight software offerings.

HP Insight Dynamics–VSE with Insight Orchestration and Insight Recovery, are the first in a series of product announcements planned for 2009 that represent an increased focus by HP in the company’s Adaptive Infrastructure (AI) initiative and portfolio.

Together with the AI portfolio, the new software enables customers to reduce costs and improve data center management as they position their businesses for success.

With businesses cutting costs, reducing risk and leveraging IT resources to seize greater competitive advantage, HP’s AI initiative delivers the integrated products and services set needed for comprehensive management and 24x7 lights-out operations for next-generation technology environments.

HP AI’s proven methodology enables customers to move from high-cost IT to an agile technology infrastructure that delivers value to their businesses.

“Cost management and agility are top-of-the-mind for CEOs, yet significant portions of technology budgets are invested in maintenance instead of innovation,” said Aman Dokania, VP and GM—Infrastructure Software, HP Asia Pacific and Japan.

“HP is building on its AI initiative by delivering offerings to meet challenges customers face today as they scrutinize their technology choices, and to help them emerge strong when the economy improves.”

Over the past three years, the HP AI initiative has guided the company’s investment in the development of data center technologies.

As a result, customers have shifted large portions of their IT budgets from maintenance to supporting business innovation.

HP Adaptive Infrastructure Discovery Centers across the globe allow customers to explore next-generation data center technologies in-depth and first hand.

Four new centers located in Isle d’Abeau, France; Boeblingen, Germany; Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia; and Houston join the existing five HP centers around the world.
