HP FlexNetwork Architecture

Innovation is driving unprecedented change. Mobility, virtualization, high-definition video, rich-media collaboration tools, and cloud computing are reinventing how businesses-and people-work. Enterprises that can harness these innovations will have new tools to drive business advantage and build new opportunities in the global marketplace.

At HP, we believe that proprietary protocols and non-standard protocol implementations limit organizations' freedom to choose, which ultimately restricts business agility and drives up costs.

With an open, standards-based solution, enterprises can migrate their networks from legacy architectures to advanced flexible architectures so they can meet contemporary business challenges, including cloud computing, federated or unified applications, virtual machine mobility, high-performance mobile access, unified communications multimedia, and video. Organizations can choose best-in-class solutions that will meet their business needs. Using open, industry- standard protocol implementations mitigate the risk and cost of change when the network needs to adapt to new business requirements. And using open networks will make it simpler for enterprises to move their applications to public and private cloud services.
