Make your life easier with HP Factory Express.

Factory Express is a robust portfolio of flexible, pre-priced, configured, customised and integrated factory solutions and deployment services for CTO solutions.

Factory Express reduces the amount of work needed to deploy hardware by configuring/integrating your hardware at the time of assembly resulting in faster time to solution by fully configuring the rack servers and storage before shipment each with complete with state-of-the-art cable management and asset tags. All of the configuration/integration are done in ISO 9000: 2000 environments, providing quality processes that lead to consistent and more stable configurations.

For example, here is a picture of a delivery of servers and rack components to a customer site which has not used a Factory express option. A lot of time would be taken doing a inventory count and the opening of the many boxes not to mention the removal and disposal of the shipping materials on top of all this as well.Then after all the kit has been accounted for you would need to install all the components for each server and rack - Very time consuming.

In this example you can see the same solution but using the Factory express options, as you can see there are a lot less boxes as everything is already installed into the racks.

This would save you or your customer a lot of time and effort in not only the time it takes to unbox everything but to install all the options into the relevant servers etc.

There are many different options you can have for Factory Express, to see these different options and what they involve then please go to http://h71028.www7.hp.com/enterprise/cache/99364-0-0-225-121.html

The Westcoast Training Bus is back by popular demand

Westcoast Training Bus

Following the huge success of last year’s Windows 8 Bus Tour, Westcoast announced that the training bus is back on the road and will be touring the UK throughout April, May and June.

During the next few weeks, a Double Decker bus will be transformed into a training lab on wheels showcasing new technologies from HP & Microsoft. Westcoast is taking the Microsoft Customer Immersion Experience (CIE) on the road and the bus will also be packed with the latest HP kit, including convertible computers, tablet hardware, wireless printers and servers.

“The recent months have seen several exciting product launches from our key vendors. We understand that it’s not easy for our resellers and their sales force to find time and attend every training event and product launch, so yet again we are bringing the training facility to them. To educate our customers on how to implement the latest technology, we are offering sales and product demonstrations by our specialist trainers and a hands-on experience with the HP & Microsoft products. We strongly believe that training is the key to growth for Westcoast partners, while at the same time helping end-user customers to increase efficiency and productivity in a variety of ways,” commented Phil Bell, Marketing Manager; Westcoast.

As of today resellers can request the bus for an on site reseller training and end-user product demonstration. There are various training modules to choose from, covering the latest product ranges from Microsoft and HP, including Microsoft CIE, wireless and large format print, PCs as well as some of the most talked about solutions from the Enterprise Group, such as BYOD and Gen8 Server Systems. Resellers interested in training, can find more information about the modules available on Westcoast’s microsite.

“We are very excited to be hosting the Westcoast Training Bus and look forward to uncovering many new opportunities for our partners, helping them to start the new financial year off strong,” Phil Bell.

Double Points on QLogic EMEA Rewards

While today’s servers have more ‘built-in’ capability than those of just a few years ago, the reality is that a significant number just don’t have the connectivity options required to work in the user’s environment.

• 20% of the servers deployed today require some kind of add-on adaptors to provide additional LAN or SAN connectivity.
• 50% of these add-on adaptors are not sold at the point of server sale. Don’t you think this is a missed opportunity? 

If you're not selling HP QLogic adaptors as part of your server solutions, you're missing out on a great opportunity to increase deal size and margins.

To claim your rewards please go to www.qlogicrewards-emea.com

If you need help with any additional details or need solution using QLogic Switches, Adaptors etc. then please contact us and we will be happy to help you.

HP Introduces Industry's Only Complete Unified BYOD Solution

New unified wired and wireless solutions that deliver a simple, scalable and secure network supporting BYOD initiatives are now available from HP.

More and more enterprises are seeing significant benefits from allowing employees to choose the device they use to get their jobs done, and are adopting bring your own device (BYOD) initiatives. In fact, a CIO survey conducted at Gartner Summits in the United States and Europe indicated that, by 2014, 80 percent of the global workforce will be eligible to participate in a BYOD program. While the BYOD trend increases flexibility and productivity, it introduces a host of new challenges for your IT administrators.

A key concern for IT is how to effectively secure and manage the network and application access for personally-owned devices. User‑owned devices cannot easily be identified, and therefore managed by your IT department. Malware infected clients can compromise your network security when allowed access to the network or vital business applications and information Security is not the only challenge. You might still rely on traditional separate wired and wireless networks and management tools that increase maintenance overhead and can’t provide the flexible access policies that personally-owned devices require. Your enterprise needs to think beyond essential BYOD access and consider the critical need for unified wired and wireless visibility and management to streamline your overall network management

What are the advantages of a HP BYOD solution?
The HP BYOD solution solves challenges holistically with the following approaches:

• Provides comprehensive user access management that delivers device onboarding, provisioning, and monitoringSupports multivendor environment with in-depth policy management
• Meets the growing demand for wireless access with enterprise-scale wireless infrastructure
• Allows for a continuous, optimized wireless experience for users

If you need help with any additional details regarding a HP BYOD solution then please read the Press Release or contact us and we will be happy to help you.
