Accenture
"Clearly the number one priority for our clients is lowering cost, reducing risk, and increasing service levels. As more and more companies are shifting to on demand utility compute platforms, HP is answering the call with technologies that enable an integrated way to help deliver consolidated networking, storage and servers. Technologies such as HP's BladeSystem Matrix can help IT to deliver resources and services to clients more efficiently and responsively as companies around the globe move to service based cloud compute platforms"

- Rockwell Bonecutter, Managing Partner

Capgemini
"It is a challenging time for our clients, who have to continue to find cost savings as well as supporting new types of small, high-business impact, front-office activities often based on SOA. At the same time there is the question of when and where to use virtualization and adopt cloud computing. HP BladeSystem Matrix does a really good job of addressing these issues by providing a tactical, modular approach that suits budgets within a genuine strategic path through virtualization into a private cloud within the data center."

- Andy Mulholland, Global Chief Technology Officer

Nth Generation
"We’re moving beyond the racked, stacked and wired approach to building our infrastructure toward standardization and consistency. BladeSystem Matrix gives us a simple way to deploy a block of infrastructure capacity that we can carve up and optimize for most of our workloads."

- Leigh Carpenter, Senior Consultant

Leading Global Financial Services Firm
"HP Insight Dynamics - VSE gives us the confidence to plan aggressive consolidations; up to 18:1 in certain cases. Other vendors’ recommendations lacked credible data, giving us less assurance."

- Global MIS Director
