By the end of the year, the major companies have to carry out year-end summary and financial liquidation, if the HP's 2014 inventory, Hewlett-Packard Global vice president, China Hewlett-Packard Company group general Manager Jian more willing to use eight words to summarize, namely "growth, innovation, cooperation and landing." That's right! HP in 2014 was the biggest year of change, and it was a fruitful year. In particular, the introduction of HP Fusion system, let us see the key business areas of the most luxurious star-class product lineup. Under the new IT environment, "unmatched user experience" becomes another label for a converged system. The formal pursuit of the ultimate quality, so that HP really realized the "in China, for China" business vision. Through the past year of carding, we will find that HP took every step, are solid sound, resounding.
Growth

HP's biggest change in 2014 was growth. On the hardware side, HP achieved its highest growth rate in the past 3-4 years, with industry-standard servers, storage, and business-critical servers improving. Today's HP has become the world's largest server manufacturer, which no one can deny. Some say HP is catching up with the global data center construction bandwagon. It is also said that the growth of HP server stems from the sale of IBM X86 server, HP took the opportunity to customer revenue in the bag. But in any case, HP is poised to sit on the top of the infrastructure services sector. There is no reason why HP has a unique fusion concept. The biggest driving force for converged applications is the market.
China HP Enterprise Group industry standard Server Product Marketing Director Liu Hongchen revealed: "2009 introduced the concept of integration infrastructure, to 2014 the introduction of a fusion system." The converged infrastructure grew 69% in a single quarter, with some quarters reaching more than 80%. ”
The fundamental, HP's quarterly and annual chain, year-on-year high growth, because the integration of infrastructure for customers to create great value. Regardless of user layout cloud, purchase large data solution, or the introduction of virtualization technology, its big trouble how to quickly expand the application to meet the requirements of internal business units. Therefore, the project controllability aspect and the time is the biggest challenge, the fusion system is easy to become the user first choice, can quickly satisfy the business growth demand.
Innovation
The HP Fusion system is the flagship of the 2014 innovation engine. The new HP converged BAE product portfolio supports the most important workloads for customers with infrastructure, such as services (IaaS), cloud, mobile, and large data, with unique features of high speed, simplicity, and efficiency. And the latest Super Fusion products in the portfolio, HP Helion Cloudsystem CS 200-HC provides customers with a simple, open path to a hybrid cloud delivery. Enterprise and service providers can now build and manage the cloud for legacy, cloud, and local workloads with simple deployment, management, and support.
To redefine the future of key business, HP has a series of foreshadowing actions. HP launched the Odyssey program in July 2014, which is a long-term strategic plan for HP's key business servers, unifying UNIX and x86 server architectures as a platform. The purpose of this is: on the one hand, the existing key business platform is constantly put into innovation, on the other hand, in the X86 architecture to lead the change, build a highly available business system.
Soon after, Hewlett-Packard released the HP Fusion system for SAP Hana CS900 (the largest and most advanced SAP-certified system), and said it was about to launch the 16-way high-end x86 server platform Dragonhawk, a symbol of the HP Odyssey program has achieved a phased outcome.
At the end of December 2014, HP new products, HP Superdome x (Dragonhawk) server and HP Nonstop x issued by the industry focused attention. The most advanced and the most available features for industrial change again subversive forces. The huge system hp Superdome X has a more powerful computing power, expanding to 32, and computing power can be doubled. and its small machine structure and open architecture, destined from a birth is a highly available computing system. Superdome x conforms to industry standard systems and supports mainstream operating systems. The HP Nonstop x server allows users to deploy mission-critical workloads in highly scalable and cost-effective x86 environments. The introduction of the advanced fault-tolerant machine based on X86 brings a more subversive user experience to the user.
Since then, HP's system from low-end to high-end products has been very complete. If a user wants their critical business system to continue to run, Hewlett-Packard has nonstop and nonstop x; If a user needs to reduce operational costs, gradually move to autonomous control and open, HP has Superdome x; If a user wants to continue to develop his business on a classic UNIX platform, Hewlett-Packard has a new generation of chips, can protect the user's investment, and users grow together; HP has CS900 if users need agile high availability and support for key business integrated systems; If the user needs all of the above features, At present only the HP family can do it.
The integrated infrastructure is more complete and can help users achieve extended requirements in a short period of time. Because the fusion system has included the server components, storage components and network components, can quickly expand, according to customer demand for configuration and deployment, fundamentally solve the user business rapid growth of the sore. At the same time, the fusion system is very simple to use, OneView management platform can be server, storage, network as a whole platform, with only one tool can achieve the full management goal. Compared with traditional project project management, the fusion system is obviously more advantageous, and the system application is not distributed server, storage and switch. The system is simpler to use, making up the short board that the user has no mature it construction ability.
HP has proven that key business systems will not die out. In the search for transformation, Hewlett-Packard with the latest technology to promote industrial change.
Cooperation
Create a fusion system application, to bring users the best user experience, Hewlett-Packard is also leveraging force. At the end of December, HP announced HP Convergedsystem's new HP Channel program, in order to grow with its partners. HP offers many services, including integration with Hana. Customers who have previously made high availability and disaster-recovery automation can also expand horizontally. In addition, HP, in collaboration with the strategic Systems integrator Tata Consulting Services (TCS), plans to build a center of excellence, showcasing joint products from both sides and being used as a validation (POC) environment.
HP and VMware have also collaborated to further integrate the technology into the application. HP has analyzed VMware's virtualization applications, culminating in an early-prediction process and a framework to balance IT resources. Different from most virtualization projects in the hardware and license matching methods, this integration of applications without performance short board, more concerned about the user on the virtualization platform to run applications, it architecture and it output capacity ratio. From the perspective of user applications, customer applications are fixed, which allows enterprises to have a higher IT infrastructure output capacity, for the entire IT hardware procurement costs is measurable, controllable, greatly reduce costs, and not waste of resources.

Not only that, but the future of HP's converged apps will also work with larger ISVs. Hewlett-Packard Co., Ltd. vice president of China Hewlett-Packard, Enterprise Group Storage Products division general Manager Qiang said that HP has developed a corresponding cooperation program to support ISVs to put their applications on HP's integrated storage, and fully effective. HP is building an ecosystem of storage systems.
Floor
With the development of recent years, HP's integrated infrastructure has a large number of landing plans. As a super Fusion product Helion has established the Chongqing Community Cloud, in addition large data also landed in Guiyang. In general, HP in China's Midwest, as well as some southern cities, especially the two or three-line cities are working closely with the government departments, through the production of city integration, to play a role in industrial chain aggregation benefits.
In addition to the Government, HP is also working with key industries. Like finance, telecoms, these industries want to use HP's innovative fusion platform to break through his traditional bottlenecks. In particular, the traditional banking industry, the impact of internet finance, competition pressure to become larger, the need for new information technology to break through.

So, whether from the point of view of technology application or from the angle of government and industry cooperation, HP is in deep integration with some upstream and downstream industry chain, embed deeply, even do more interface. "Information itself is an open world, autonomous control itself is to be independent, controllable also must have behavior." HP has been working together to promote the real landing of autonomous control and to promote the progress of the whole ecosystem. "China Hewlett-Packard Co., Ltd. Enterprise Group Technical Services Division, Industry strategy and solutions general manager," said ET.
