HP (NYSE:HPQ) today announced a new consulting service that addresses the complexities and reduces the risks associated with the strategic direction, design and building of data centers.
The HP Trusted Advisor service offers HP consulting experts who work closely with clients to consider all aspects of business operations, IT infrastructure and facilities, as well as the enablement of technologies, such as cloud and green computing. As a result, clients can establish an aligned data center and IT strategy that meets business goals and objectives.
“Our clients’ time and capital commitments can be staggeringly high and the margin for error extremely small when building or updating a data center,” said Rick Einhorn, worldwide director, Critical Facilities Services, HP. “HP’s professional data center consultants have the unique ability to provide a truly integrated delivery framework across all disciplines involved to guide clients through complex, pivotal decisions, while keeping the programs on schedule and within budget.”
HP Trusted Advisor, part of the HP Critical Facilities portfolio, works as a partner to clients through all phases of a data center program. The service, designed to work within a Converged Infrastructure strategy, takes a programmatic approach to maintain the life cycle of a data center facility. It includes analysis and recommendations for the business case approval process, planning, design and build, commissioning, and migration processes.
Steel ORCA LLC designs, builds and operates data centers powered by variable energy sources. By engaging with an HP Trusted Advisor, it is transforming a former industrial site into a high-performance, high-power facility ideal for the development of a data center co-location business.
The new facility, Steel ORCA Bucks County DC, will provide turnkey data center solutions that include co-location, managed hosting and professional services. It will run on resource-efficient, lower-cost power that will benefit Steel ORCA’s customers as well as the local community.
“We are able to fulfill our vision of building a data center that addresses concerns by many data center clients focused on mandates and incentives to reduce carbon footprint, yet provide optimal high-density and high-performance computing,” said David Crocker, chairman and chief executive officer, Steel ORCA LLC. “HP’s Trusted Advisor service guided us in developing a world-class data center program strategy and design. They are now in charge of the design and will oversee the building and commissioning of the facility.”
The HP Trusted Advisor service is available worldwide through HP Technology Consulting Services. Pricing varies according to location and implementation. More information is available in a Steel ORCA LLC HP case study.

HP (NYSE: HPQ) today announced HP Strategic IT Advisory Services designed to help chief information officers (CIOs) use IT as a key driver of innovation, growth and profitability.
HP Strategic IT Advisory Services help CIOs:
The success of CIOs is increasingly being evaluated against enterprise objectives.
Analyst firm Gartner Inc. indicates that most external assessments of enterprise value and viability will include explicit analysis of IT assets and capabilities. In addition, new revenue generated each year by IT will determine the annual compensation for most new Global 2000 CIOs.(1)
“Our research shows that by 2016, innovation accomplishments will be among the top three selection criteria for new CIOs,” said Ken McGee, vice president and fellow, Gartner. “This trend is indicative of the extent to which IT will be so closely aligned with enterprise goals that it is the key driver in growth and profitability. To get to this future state, IT must move from supporting to empowering the enterprise.”
“When CIOs are measured against enterprise objectives, they look for partners to help them craft and implement their technology strategy,” said Arthur Filip, vice president and general manager, Technology Consulting, HP. “HP Strategic IT Advisory Services fill the gap between business and technology consulting by putting clients on the path to deliver enterprise objectives through technology.”

HP Taps Technology Strategist Larry Irving to Lead Global Government Affairs
HP (NYSE:HPQ) today announced that Larry Irving, one of the nation’s leading thinkers on technology and innovation, will join the company as vice president of Global Government Affairs, effective Sept. 8.
Irving, a former White House technology adviser, will oversee HP’s global government affairs team from Washington, D.C. He will be responsible for shaping public policy and building relationships worldwide with government officials, community leaders, non-governmental organizations and business partners. He will report to Michael Holston, HP executive vice president and general counsel.
Irving currently serves as chief executive officer of the Irving Information Group, a consulting firm providing strategic planning and consulting services to domestic and international telecommunications and information technology companies, non-profit organizations and foundations. He is also the founder and co-chair of the Internet Innovation Alliance, which advocates broadband Internet access for all Americans.
“Larry’s commitment to using technology to improve lives is fully aligned with HP’s corporate philosophy,” said Mark Hurd, HP chairman and chief executive officer. “We are pleased to have him lead our global team in advancing government policies that promote innovation and extend the reach of information technology.”
Widely credited with coining the term “digital divide,” Irving has broad experience in virtually all aspects of information technology. His efforts to spread the benefits of technology throughout society prompted Newsweek magazine to call him “the ‘Net’s conscience.”
“I am delighted to have someone of Larry’s caliber join our team,” said Holston. “He has a deep understanding of the many issues at the intersection of business, technology, global markets and public policy.”
Irving, 54, founded his consulting firm in 1999 after serving as Assistant Secretary of Commerce for Communications and Information in the Clinton administration. He was a principal architect of administration policy on issues related to the Internet, e-commerce and telecommunications. Irving also initiated and was the principal author of the Clinton administration’s three “Falling Through the Net” reports, which highlighted the scope and the consequences of inequities in access to information technology.
After President Obama’s election, Irving worked with the Obama transition team on science and tech agencies.
U.S. Representative Edward Markey (MA-7) stated, “Larry Irving is one of the nation’s most experienced and knowledgeable experts on technology policy. I have known Larry for more than 25 years. He was a trusted adviser when he worked on my staff, he did an excellent job running the NTIA during the Clinton Administration, and I have always been impressed by his firm grasp of the issues, his outstanding political peripheral vision, and his intuitive understanding of where industry trends are heading. HP is very fortunate to have Larry onboard.”
U.S. Representative Joe Barton (TX-6) stated, “I am very pleased that Larry Irving is joining HP in this capacity, and I look forward to working with him on information technology issues that come before the House Energy and Commerce Committee. I have known and worked with Mr. Irving for many years. He is uniquely qualified for this important position with HP. His knowledge of IT issues and the ways of Washington, D.C., are almost unparalleled.”
Irving, a frequent media commentator on technology issues, has a bachelor’s degree in political science from Northwestern University in Chicago and a law degree from Stanford University in Palo Alto, Calif.
“I’m excited by this opportunity to apply my knowledge and experience in a new setting with the world’s leading technology company,” said Irving. “HP is constantly seeking new ways to use technology to solve problems and create opportunities. I want to be part of the policy discussion around that effort.”
