Enterprise applications such as Microsoft Exchange Server and SAP solutions – and the infrastructure they run on – are the heart of your business. But running outdated or multiple versions of critical applications on older technologies can hold your business back.

HP Adaptive Infrastructure as a Service offers you a pre-built application infrastructure – with a design based on HP's Adaptive Infrastructure innovations and delivered through highly automated processes and procedures.

You purchase technology as a service, with no capital outlay, enabling you to take a rapid path to infrastructure and application modernisation at reduced risk and cost.

HP Adaptive Infrastructure as a Service builds on HP Flexible Computing Services that provide you with access to additional infrastructure in a matter of hours for your compute-intensive needs. With HP Adaptive Infrastructure as a Service, we deliver new capabilities that allow you to modernise business-critical applications faster on a pre-defined infrastructure delivered from high-density global data centres. The initial solutions include infrastructure services for Microsoft Exchange Server, SAP and other critical business applications with:

• Application staging and on-boarding
• Application operations management
• Infrastructure operations management
• Provisioning with predefined hardware and operating system software

What you do: You maintain ownership and management of your application, while offloading application operations and infrastructure management to HP. As you realise cost-savings that come from converting a capital expenditure into an ongoing operating expense, you free up capital resources – allowing you to redirect investments into key business initiatives.

With HP Adaptive Infrastructure as a Service, you can modernise your infrastructure and business applications and reap benefits that come from:

• Greater financial flexibility
• Reduced business risk based on best practices
• Business innovation through rapid transformation to next-generation infrastructure
• Cost reductions from improved asset utilisation, automated processes and reduced transition and transformation time
