PARIS, June 29, 2012
HP today announced that French automaker Renault S.A. has selected an HP Utility Services solution to support the development of innovative new telematics services for its electric cars.
Through its alliance with Nissan, Renault is the world’s
fourth-largest automotive group and a leader in zero emission
transportation. Together, Renault and Nissan have made huge investments
in the development of electric cars, Lithium-ion batteries and
advanced telematics services.
Connected electronic vehicle telematics help drivers to check
the car’s battery, its charge rate and the location of the nearest
charging station, as well as provide live traffic updates and cloud
computing based applications like pay-as-you-drive insurance.
Renault selected HP Enterprise Cloud Services – Utility Services
to host its European IT infrastructure and manage its technical
applications, delivering just the right computing capacity and giving
the company greater flexibility to meet its business needs at minimum
cost.
A preconfigured and tested HP Converged Infrastructure
hosted in HP’s highly secure Tier 3 data center in Grenoble, France,
gives Renault fast access to the latest HP server, storage, networking,
power and cooling technologies.
This economical solution offers highly automated processes that
cut the time, cost and complexity of getting Renault’s business-critical
new applications into production. Built-in technology refreshes and
flexible capacity provisioning ensure that Renault’s IT infrastructure
is powerful and flexible enough to accommodate future demands.
The pay-as-you-go financial model reduces Renault’s capital
investment and ensures predictable ongoing costs. The flexible model
allows for frequent adjustments to support projected growth, and aligns
with the service level agreements and high levels of security expected
by Renault.
“The combination of HP’s technology and cloud computing services
helps us create the innovative, integrated, end-to-end solutions that
customers like Renault need to more effectively achieve market, cost and
environmental objectives,“ said Gerald Karsenti, president and
managing director, HP France.
