Define your data center. Don’t be defined by your data center constraints.

Data centers around the world are reaching limits in power, cooling and space. At the same time, capital constraints are requiring a rethinking of data center strategy. These limits become especially painful when they cap the amount of IT that can be deployed, thus slowing business growth.

The HP Performance-Optimized Data center (POD) is more than a data center container; it is a part of a complete data center portfolio from HP, from data center strategy and planning, to innovative products and comprehensive global support. This means best-in-class technology to provide flexible, dense and energy-efficient data centers that can be deployed in weeks rather than months or years.

    

HP POD benefits:
Build an IT strategy where you can deploy capacity within weeks – where you want it, when you want it, anywhere in the world. The HP POD slashes the time required for data center build out and reduces your current and future capital expenses by allowing you to add capacity as you need it. Whether you need the equivalent of 4,000 square feet of traditional data center capacity shipped inside of six weeks, or want to blend next generation, modular and container data centers into a flexible strategy – or both - turn to HP for your fully integrated customized solution, with the expertise of HP Critical Facilities Services and the IT and data center skills of HP Technology and Enterprise Services.

  • Industry-Standard Flexibility: Don’t sacrifice your data center flexibility; the HP POD is designed to support almost all of the technology found in the typical data center environment. Using standard 19” racks, front-to-back cooling and design flexibility, you can deploy your HP and/or competitive technology with minimal constraints. Your HP POD can arrive fully integrated for your heterogeneous IT environment.
  • Built-in Redundancy: Cut costs, not your uptime – N+1 capacity for the blower fans and heat exchangers combined with dual active power distribution paths provide a level of redundancy you are familiar with in your brick-and-mortar datacenters.
  • A new data center design alternative: A strategy that includes the HP POD delivers the fastest, most flexible, and most efficient path to data center ROI. The HP POD allows customers to develop a flexible environment that better meets their needs. Combining brick-and-mortar best-practices with the flexibility and advantages of containers delivers the freedom to quickly place resources when and where they are needed.
