HP underwent a large-scale data center transformation project to consolidate over 85 global data centers into six new next-generation data centers located in three zones across the US. This consolidation aimed to standardize HP's technology environment, retire legacy applications, build state-of-the-art infrastructure, automate monitoring and control, improve business continuity, and significantly reduce IT costs. The new data centers employ technologies like Dynamic Smart Cooling and are designed for high availability, disaster recovery, and rapid service delivery.

Co- ordinated Unified
Many companies are currently diversified benefiting from
High
synergies between Divisions who are free to pursue their
strategies, whilst not having fully standardised or integrated
business processes across business units.

Is Infrastructure transformation staying within a diversified operating
model or part of changing it?
