3 ways to speed up your business

July 2016

Remember how thrilled you were to get your first mobile phone? And as technology progressed,
not only could you call anyone from anywhere, but texting provided a whole new way of
communicating. Texting was a matter of clicking one of the 10 phone key numbers repeatedly to
get to the letter you needed, and texts were limited to 160 characters. Maybe you didn’t find
these things annoying until you upgraded to your first smart phone. But when you did, remember
how great it felt to have a full keyboard, no length limits on texting, and pain-free fingers?

Now fast forward to something similar that may be happening with your server today. Servers
used to deploy a certain workload more than 3 years ago may seem to work well enough. But
let’s look at the performance of your most important business functions.

 Is your email overloaded?

 Do you have a line of employees in your office with complaints about the server not quite
working the way they need it to?
 Is there too much idle time while your computer boots up?

We become used to declining performance because it happens slowly over time. Maybe it is
time to consider the advantages of upgrading your technology to make your business run faster.

What’s new in servers?

1. Performance, performance, performance

If you still have an ageing server running in the corner, then you may not be aware of
improvements in chip and memory technologies to make today’s servers run FAST! With needs
changing, your performance needs to change to — for better user experience such as:

 Videos that run smoothly and do not hang (no latency)

 Consistent performance with UCC applications such as IM and VOIP voice/video conferencing
 Rapid and efficient analysis of huge amounts of data resulting in invaluable Business Intelligence

This ability to fully support today’s business applications and their features comes from rapid
advances in CPU, memory, and options performance in the server. For example, HPE ProLiant
Gen 9 servers offer up to 25% performance increase of HPE ProLiant Gen 8 servers.

2. Simple, less complex system management

Today’s servers include more automation of manual tasks, the ability to create profiles,
provision, and replicate and go with fewer steps, and most importantly, can share server status
across multiple systems to proactively manage workload distribution. This takes what can be a
complex management environment and makes IT really simple!

3. Affordable, flexible agile technology right sized for your business

Most growing businesses demand flexibility to take on new projects or opportunities or to react
quickly to changes in the market. When your IT is based on the most current server technology,
you can do the following:

 Easily consolidate and virtualise resources.

 Minimise sprawl and silos of technology that drive complexity and under utilisation
 Increase operating efficiency, improve operating costs

Focus on your business, not technology. Update your infrastructure so you can be confident that
your business is ready for whatever comes next. With HPE Just Right IT ProLiant servers, you
get high performance servers that are right sized for your business with built-in system
management and flexibility you need to drive your business.
