MANILA, Philippines – Hewlett-Packard (HP) introduced today its latest IT storage solutions that aim to solve current data storage problems of local companies in the Philippines.

Bayaborda said the solutions address the issues of the complex problems of managing data growth while streamlining operations and eliminating technology silos.

"Companies today need an infrastructure that delivers efficiency and simplicity of operations without having to duplicate data that wastes storage capacity," he said.

Bayaborda attributes present storage problems due to explosive data growth that is taking business performance to the breaking point, thus HP's mission is to transform storage infrastructure by implementing the "converged infrastructure" concept.
