HP Announces FlexNetwork Architecture

HP has announced the HP FlexNetwork architecture, the unified architecture for the datacentre, campus and branch, which enables enterprises to fully harness the power of media-rich content, virtualisation, mobility and cloud computing.

The new architecture increases the flexibility of IT infrastructure by enabling clients to deploy solutions based on modular building blocks and open industry standards to focus on business innovation and avoid vendor lock-in.

The architecture unifies networks in the datacentre, campus and branch to ensure consistency, security and performance. In related news, HP announced several new solutions based on the HP FlexNetwork architecture.

A core component of the HP Converged Infrastructure, the HP FlexNetwork architecture converges network silos by ensuring protocols are implemented consistently across all networked devices throughout an enterprise. As a result, clients are able to simplify and speed service delivery across the datacentre, campus and branch, driving increased agility and innovation.

Single-vendor, proprietary approaches, such as Cisco’s, lock in customers while driving up cost and complexity with different architectures required at each point in the network, including datacentre, campus and branch. This lack of convergence and increased complexity make it difficult to roll out new applications and services.

The HP FlexNetwork architecture transforms legacy networks through convergence and simplification, enabling organisations to deliver innovation, speed and performance. The new level of flexibility from the HP FlexNetwork architecture enables clients to focus on preparing their organisations for the demands of the future.

“To ensure success and a competitive advantage, enterprises need to shift resources from maintenance of complex legacy networks to innovation,” said Subhodeep Bhattacharya, Director- India, HP Networking. “With the HP FlexNetwork architecture, we deliver standards-based solutions that allow clients to bring existing network investments forward, reducing total cost of ownership today while preparing organisations to embrace the future.”
