The HP Performance-Optimized Data Center (POD) is a modular data center. The HP Performance-Optimized Data Center delivers a fast, flexible, and efficient path to data center return on investment (ROI). It can be deployed within weeks and offers an advanced power and cooling infrastructure that is more cost effective, easier to deploy and energy efficient than typical data center build-outs.

The HP POD 240a delivers best-in-class technology that can ship fully integrated and tested with IT from an HP factory in as little as 10 weeks-slashing the time for data center build-out. It offers configurations optimized for power density, enabling you to quickly upgrade or extend the capacity of your physical infrastructure.

Provisions for power and communication connections are provided. Connections to your central utility or back up power infrastructure are required. HP will provide documentation for self installations and also provide a full suite of data center and IT services from HP Critical Facilities Services and HP Technology Services.
