The IoD approach offers customers an individual charging model for IT infrastructures with a fixed price per month. This is invoiced to the customer using a price per GB, MB, Mailbox or User – depending on the respective IT environment.

     

Target market

The Infrastructure on Demand (IoD) solution is targeted at companies in any industry who have strong global presence and large need for high-quality information and communication infrastructure.

Customer benefits

This solution makes Information Technology infrastructure management easier and more cost-effective. Benefits include:

  • Easily upgradeable and expandable infrastructure via modular building blocks.
  • ‘Pay-as-you-grow’ approach means you never pay for more than you need.
  • Reliable infrastructure providing high availability and flexibility, enables fast time to market for all infrastructure projects.
  • Increase in transparency for internally offered IT services.
  • Cost reduction through best practice improvements in Technology, Processes and Human Resource Management.

Scope

Infrastructure on Demand is built on a financing model, which is based on service-charging that frees the customer from having hardware assets in the balance sheet and the associated financial depreciation factor. It also offers a high degree of transparency and predictability concerning arising costs in combination with the ‘pay-as-you-grow’ charging model.

Key components used in the solution

  • Servers: Intel based HP Proliant servers: HP ProLiant DL580 with 700MHz Intel Xeon processors.
  • Storage: HP Enterprise Modular Array EMA 12000 with SAN switches and HSG80 controllers.
  • Software: clustered Microsoft Windows 2000 Advanced Server.
  • HP Services (project management, consulting services to plan, design and deploy the new solution and migrate data).
