HP
today announced it has signed a seven-year global services agreement
with PepsiCo, Inc., to provide data center management
services and infrastructure consolidation for the company’s
PepsiCo International division October
4, 2006
HP will consolidate PepsiCo International’s
technology infrastructure into three HP data centers located
in Mexico, Singapore and the
United Kingdom. These data centers will support PepsiCo business
operations in more than 60 countries outside the United States
and Canada.
This initiative will migrate PepsiCo International
to a standardized storage and server architecture that provides
capability upgrades
in the areas of application management, network security, disaster
recovery, asset management and operations support. HP will use
a variety of storage and server systems, tools and software to
manage PepsiCo International’s new data center environment.
In addition, with PepsiCo International choosing BT as its network
provider, there will be more opportunities for the HP and BT alliance
to help increase service integration and innovation for PepsiCo
International.
“We have closely collaborated with PepsiCo International
to build an IT environment that will help them become more adaptive,” said
John E. Evers Jr., vice president and general manager, Managed
Services – Americas, HP. “By standardizing and optimizing
its server environment, PepsiCo International can better flex to
meet its changing business needs and in turn provide better service
to customers anywhere in the world.”
