In this difficult economic environment, large capital projects are being put on the back burner as customers face challenging demands. Data center downtime, capacity constraints and increased operating costs directly impact revenue, as well as customers’ ability to support business growth.

To tackle these challenges, HP Critical Facilities Services now offer new standardized assessment services that enable companies to improve efficiency and lower costs, without having to wait for large budget approvals. These services include:
• HP Energy Efficiency Analysis helps customers improve the energy efficiency of their data center. This comprehensive study benchmarks a customer’s data center against industry best practices for power usage and infrastructure efficiency. It provides scenarios and cost benefits along with detailed plans for energy-efficiency improvements, investment payback and facility reliability.
• HP Basic Capacity Survey provides quantitative capacity and availability information to help customers more effectively prioritize and allocate infrastructure resources.
• HP Infrastructure Condition and Capacity Analysis enables customers to improve the reliability of their facility by providing a system-by-system evaluation of their critical technologies. It also evaluates the power and cooling capacity of the facility infrastructure in comparison with current power and cooling loads, providing customers with quantitative information for capacity planning or future expansion.
• HP Comprehensive Assessment allows customers to optimize data center cooling to reduce operating costs, boost capacity, and improve reliability. Comprehensive Assessment utilizes Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) modeling of the entire supply and return air flow to provide recommendations for improving cooling effectiveness.

These cost-effective assessments identify ways to immediately increase capacity, lower operating costs, and increase availability.
“Many customers are facing challenges as a result of capital budgets and lower operating costs,” said Ed Ansett, director of critical facility services, Technology Services – EMEA, HP. “This suite of standardized assessments provides a comprehensive framework and roadmap to increase efficiency and generate increased economic returns.”

HP Standardized Assessment Services are now available in EMEA as pre-packaged and pre-priced offerings.
