  • HRG Assessment: Comparing IBM Puresystems and HP Converged Systems
    HRG Assessment: Comparing IBM PureSystems and HP Converged Systems Today customers and employees have increasingly more bi-directional interactions with companies than at any previous time and all of these transactions have to be served up and supported by Information Technology. Business applications and services have to be developed and assimilated into the business quicker, faster, and without room for mistakes. CXOs and IT professionals are struggling to reconcile the increased complexity of business environments with an increase in both the complexity and cost of operations. The available IT budget is increasingly consumed not by hardware costs but by management, administration, and other indirect non-technology costs. The current business environment is dynamic, highly competitive, increasingly fast paced, and global. Consumers of Information Technology products and services have higher expectations than ever before, placing increasing demands on business IT capabilities which are measured on the ability to quickly deliver new and improved services. Large-scale projects cost millions, take months to plan and execute with no guarantee of success. Time, budget, skilled resources, organizational experience and expertise are critical constraints. Customers are increasingly turning to Integrated Systems to help tackle these challenges. On April 11, 2012 IBM introduced a family of Expert Integrated Systems called IBM PureSystemsTM. This is a unique solution that combines IBM‟s significant software, hardware, networking, security, and management experience, expertise, and capabilities into a single easy to order and implement solution. IBM PureSystems are architected and designed to help customers keep pace with unscheduled and unanticipated increases in demand by simplifying the selection, purchase, installation, configuration, and implementation of IT solutions for business.
