HP introduces network infra optimisation solution

BANGALORE, INDIa: HP launched its Network Infrastructure Optimization Services portfolio designed to help customers evaluate and improve network flow and infrastructure.

The HP Network Infrastructure Optimization Services portfolio spans network topology - from within the data centre and between data centres to wide area networks (WAN) and local area networks (LAN) - to identify and eliminate inefficiencies, while optimizing infrastructure to make applications run faster, says the company in a release.

“With a dispersed workforce and growing connectivity demands, enterprises can no longer revert to traditional singular quick fixes, such as adding bandwidth, to address network issues,” said Uday Birje, country manager, Network Consulting and Services, HP India. “HP’s new services pinpoint inefficiencies that can be removed for a greater end-user experience.”

The HP Network Infrastructure Optimization Assessment lets companies work with HP consultants who analyze traffic across network topology to identify application delays, jitter and bandwidth issues.

HP is using F5’s BIG-IP platform. HP services based on F5’s BIG-IP platform include:

HP Network Application Delivery Controller Services enable clients to optimize network traffic within the data centre. The services also include the HP Network Application Delivery Controller Service for Microsoft to optimize the performance of Microsoft Exchange, Lync or SharePoint 2010.

HP Data Center to Data Center Network Optimization Service helps improve application delivery in an environment with multiple data centres.

The HP Network Infrastructure Optimization Assessment and the HP Network Application Delivery Controller Service for Microsoft are now available globally. All other services will be available globally in July 2012. Pricing varies according to location and implementation.
