announce the HP BladeSystem Matrix, a cornerstone of HP's
CloudSystem offerings, is now available for demonstration within

distributor hosted a training and education event for HP Converged
Infrastructure solutions April 5-6 in Buffalo.
The HP BladeSystem Matrix solution is supported by Ingram
Micro's Advanced Computing Division and available to authorized HP
channel partners in the U.S. and Canada. In addition to using

co-branded marketing collateral are also offered as part of the
Division's partner value-add.

infrastructure solution that brings the benefits of shared services
to life and makes it easier for channel partners to establish a
private cloud for small and mid-sized businesses, as well as
enterprise players," says Fran Murello, senior manager and
engineer, Ingram Micro's Buffalo-based Solution Center. "It's a
great conversation starter for discussing the business value of
converged infrastructure and cloud computing and now that it's
available for demo within the Ingram Micro Solution Center, channel
partners can show their customers and prospects the technology in
action first-hand."
As the market's first truly converged infrastructure solution,

applications in minutes rather than months, and helps channel
partners reduce customers' total cost of ownership by up to 56
percent versus traditional infrastructure reports HP.
