To understand that, it’s helpful to look at the challenges IT departments are facing: -High levels of unpredictability -Need for new ways of planning growth and development -Demand for increased flexibility to meet changing service level agreements -Reliance on innovation to fuel success -Belief that technology can unlock new opportunities for educating students In the face of these demands, schools are clamoring for IT to increase its value to the organization. We believe that IT has the resources to do so. But because of sprawl, those resources are tangled up in legacy architectures and inflexible stacks. Consider the critical needs IT has: -Control skyrocketing operating and management costs -Transform IT infrastructure and processes -implement ITSM and/or shared services -Limit datacenter space -implement server consolidation or virtualization -Improve business continuity and accelerate disaster recovery -Move off of legacy servers and cut costs with an industry-standard platform At HP, we’re in datacenters every day. We see good technology wasted by being chronically underutilized and smart people whose skills are wasted dealing with issues and complexities that are easily addressed. Because of complexity and sprawl, HP estimates that up to 70 percent of the typical IT budget is spent on operations and maintenance. That leaves 30 percent for business innovation that will generate growth, such as deployment of new applications and services that make the school more efficient. Ultimately, the school suffers. As datacenters become more complex, the time, risk, and cost to deliver IT projects increases. What schools need are solutions that maximize the value of existing equipment and reduce time and resources needed to manage operations. They need access to a broad product portfolio and the assurance that what they deploy today has a long, innovative and stable road map to support future demands. The challenge is unleashing existing potential. HP has the solution and believe our partner resellers are in position to help deliver it. subjectarea: Servers, storage and networking copresenters: William Holiman, Central Region Solution Sales Manager Local Government, Education and Public Healthcare Sectors Enterprise Servers, Storage, and Networking. -- Syya Yasotornrat Network Sales Specialist, N.TX, AR & OK HP ProCurve Networking Additionalcomments:
