HP to Increase Presence in the Next-Generation Data Center Market

HP has recently announced the growth of its next-generation data centers customer base with the signing of contracts with over 60 customers to provide them with data center design services. Organizations across 12 industries in 27 countries which include companies such as Credit Suisse, UBS, Digital Realty Trust and Power Loft have signed up with HP’s subsidiary, EYP Mission Critical Facilities (EYP MCF), for its data infrastructure services.
EYP MCF provides strategic planning, design and operations support to help companies transform their data centers, optimize energy efficiency and enable business growth. Over 500 companies have worked with the company to design their data centers, command and control centers, trading floors, and supercomputing sites. Owing to increase in the demand for mission-critical services projects, HP plans to broaden its EYP MCF services availability to more countries.
“Companies from all over the world are turning to us to design and build the next-generation data centers required for high-density scalable computing,” said Peter Gross, Chief Executive Officer, EYP Mission Critical Facilities. “By offering customers the right solutions to complex energy-efficiency and optimization challenges, we are giving them the keys to adapt and transform to meet changing business needs,” added Gross.
HP’s recent EYP MCF agreements include the one with Power Loft to design a data center for the company which specializes in the development and ownership of high-density, high-security data centers. EYP MCF also designed and provided engineering consulting services on the company’s first data center, located in Virginia, U.S.A. Both the facilities will be LEED (Leadership in Environmental Design) certified and, upon completion, will operate using 52 percent less power than comparably sized data centers.

The company’s other EYP MCF projects include, designing a leading technology company’s energy-efficient technology infrastructure at its U.S. headquarters, providing mission-critical consulting services for a Tier IV data center master plan across a top U.S. university’s statewide, multi-campus data center environment, designing a high-profile, energy-efficient data center in Iceland, offering reliability levels from Tier I to IV and LEED Platinum certification and providing consultation services to global financial services firm UBS on its data center design
