Partner with HP and Data^#3 to enable, consume and offer cloud services

HP has been involved with the cloud even before it was formally defined throughout the industry. Together, Data^#3 and HP have developed deep shared services, virtualisation and service management expertise, and we understand the service-centric model at every phase – strategy, design, transition and operations. Rather than focus on pieces of cloud computing, we provide a comprehensive framework for you to work towards a cloud future that addresses people, processes and technology.

Through the HP Converged Infrastructure architecture and technologies we enable tight integration and synergy among previously siloed servers, storage, networks and management software – making the cloud infrastructure real.

The HP CloudStart Solution built on HP Converged Infrastructure and HP BladeSystem Matrix addresses the ‘speed of cloud implementation’ pain point head-on.

Over the years, we’ve executed complex cloud implementations for a range of industry sectors. This has helped us build an array of cloud solutions that feature an ‘everything-as-a-service’ capability – providing all the expertise you need to implement your chosen strategy.

Using these building blocks – foundational and enabling technologies and services – Data^#3 and HP can help your business realise the true potential of cloud computing.
