To Accelerate Application Service Delivery And Advancing Service Provider Business
HP introduced the world’s first assembly line for rapid deployment of the HP Performance Optimized Datacenter (POD.) (1) for IT service providers that often need to scale capacity on demand.
Capacity on demand with new data center assembly line
HP POD-Works is a 10,000-sq.-ft. facility that contains an assembly line for accelerating the delivery of modular HP PODs. HP PODs are self-contained IT environments that can be customized to the specific needs of service providers and other hyper-scale environments.
Designed to build multiple PODs simultaneously, HP POD-Works features seven staging bays with 3 megawatts of power and network connections that are set up to perform customized assembly, testing and shipping of the HP POD. With HP POD-Works, PODs can be assembled, tested and shipped in as little as six weeks, compared with one year or longer, to build a traditional brick-and-mortar data center.
Available in 20 or 40-foot modules, the HP POD enables service providers and other clients with a limited space to quickly expand their data center capacity. HP PODs deliver 37 percent more efficiency and cost 45 percent less than a traditional brick-and-mortar data center. (2)
The HP POD-Works offers the following benefits:
— Reduced data center implementation time by up to 88 percent when compared to traditional build out processes.(3)
— Accelerated deployment of multiple PODs or a POD farm to support large hosting operations, web-based or compute-intensive applications.
