Early adopters have already deployed major solutions, and it has become a standard objective for mainstream Information Technology (IT) architects and planners. HP has adopted the term \u201cConverged Infrastructure\u201d to describe how HP products and services can address this approach. <a title=\"HP Converged Infrastructure Reference Architecture Design Guide\" href=\"http:\/\/ads.madisonlogic.com\/clk?pub=81&amp;pgr=68&amp;src=4712&amp;ctg=1&amp;tstamp=20130306T145057&amp;ast=25540&amp;cmp=7821&amp;crv=0&amp;frm=293&amp;yld=0\" >This Reference Architecture<\/a> guide provides a business and technical view of the adoption process.<\/p>\n<p>Today\u2019s IT demands span the data center, from capacity to technology, processes, people, and governance.

For example:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><b>Simplification<\/b>: Collapse siloed, hierarchical, point-to-point infrastructure into an easily managed, energy-efficient, and re-usable set of resources.<\/li>\n<li><b>Enabling growth<\/b>: Efficiently deploy new applications and services, with optimum utilization across servers, storage, networking, and power.<\/li>\n<li><b>On-demand delivery<\/b>: Deliver applications and services through a common framework that can leverage on-premise, private cloud, and off-premise resources.<\/li>\n<li><b>Employee productivity<\/b>: Move resources from operations to innovation by increasing automation of application, infrastructure, and facility management.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>HP Converged Infrastructure enables organizations to achieve these goals while getting ahead of the growth curve and the cost curve. In working with data centers today, administrators must design environments capable of high density and efficient scalability.<\/p>\n<p><b><a href=\"http:\/\/www.datacenterknowledge.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/04\/hpconverged2.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-95085\" alt=\"hpconverged2\" src=\"http:\/\/www.datacenterknowledge.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/04\/hpconverged2-300x210.jpg\" width=\"300\" height=\"210\" \/><\/a><\/b><\/p>\n<p><i>[Image source: HP: The transformation to HP Converged Infrastructure]<\/i><\/p>\n<p><a title=\"HP Converged Infrastructure Reference Architecture Design Guide\" href=\"http:\/\/ads.madisonlogic.com\/clk?pub=81&amp;pgr=68&amp;src=4712&amp;ctg=1&amp;tstamp=20130306T145057&amp;ast=25540&amp;cmp=7821&amp;crv=0&amp;frm=293&amp;yld=0\" >This Reference Architecture Design Guide<\/a> will outline all of the major components which fall into the HP Converged Infrastructure design.
