The intelligent economy is here, and it is transforming the corporate, government, and consumer landscape. IT activities are no longer defined exclusively by back-office functions — rather, they increasingly support mission-critical, front-office, and customer-facing functions. Mobility, datacenter transformation and virtualization, and the increased desire for pervasive voice and video create unique opportunities for enterprise customers to become more competitive and agile and increase workforce productivity, but these technologies also increase the amount of complexity while changing traffic patterns in their networks.
By providing strategic guidance, third-party services firms — global systems integrators, service providers, and services divisions of networking suppliers — can play a critical role in helping enterprise customers improve network agility and performance and leverage the opportunities that newer technologies can provide. As networking-based solutions become more complex and have greater impact on business outcomes, the importance of consulting and integration services will increase. This Technology Spotlight discusses the business drivers to optimizing networks and examines the role that HP plays in providing network infrastructure consulting services.
