What if accessing the computing power of the planet was as easy
as turning on the tap for a glass of water?
In HP's Internet Systems and Storage Lab, we're working to make
that happen by inventing a global information infrastructure that
provides anytime anywhere access to applications and data.
Our vision - More people, places and things are connecting
to each other and to useful services via the Internet. This evolving
world will require an enormous amount of processing power and storage
capacity -- a vast information infrastructure. We believe data
centers could become 10 times larger as they are today, containing
as many 50,000 servers and a comparable amount of storage capacity.
Our work - We're designing a whole new model of computing
to handle this vast infrastructure. We call it Planetary
Computing
. This new model will allow us to harness computing power from
around the world, allocating IT resources where ever and whenever
they're needed most. Supporting the computing utility will be a
worldwide storage utility that will deliver data securely to where
ever it's needed.
Our lab - Our lab has a global presence with researchers
working in Palo Alto, California and Bristol, England. This allows
us to uniquely address global Internet markets, technologies and
issues. We are an inventive lab that is application- and systems-focused. |
