HP and Microsoft announced a three-year agreement to pursue a new integrated technology stack that would significantly simplify technology environments for businesses. The companies will collaborate on an engineering roadmap for data management machines; converged, prepackaged application solutions; comprehensive virtualization offerings; and integrated management tools.
Specifically, HP and Microsoft plan to deliver new solutions that will:
- be built on a next-generation infrastructure-to-application model;
- advance cloud computing by speeding application implementation; and
- eliminate complexities of IT management and automate existing manual processes to lower the overall costs.
The new infrastructure-to-application model from HP and Microsoft will be delivered as integrated offerings for large, heterogeneous data center environments as well as through solutions designed for small and midsize businesses.
