Overview According to most industry observers, increasingly adaptive enterprises will require IT infrastructures that are more like utilities services we really notice only when they are missing. Focus will shift to utility computing, where the service itself not how it's provided is the most important factor in decisions about computing acquisitions. HP's vision for the adaptive enterprise is one in which IT service levels match the flow of real-time business activities where low-cost, dependable, reliable, and scalable services are available and dynamically tapped. HP fundamental to such an enterprise is an infrastructure foundation for continuous, secure computing services that are protected and optimized by the use of automated, intelligent management solutions as well as the capability to discover, allocate, optimize, and deallocate computing resources such as servers, networking components, storage elements, and application services from predefined pools of such components. This infrastructure capability is enabled by HP virtualization technologies.
