A rental and leasing company is in the IT engineering and rental business, specializing in testing
and measurement products. As the company has expanded, so too has its IT procurement, with
the resulting infrastructure being both complex and wasteful. It is difficult to introduce new
applications, and IT is failing to effectively support the continued business growth. The current
AS/400 solution is getting old and very costly to maintain.
A decision has been made to overhaul the company’s IT infrastructure. As stated by the CIO, “we
want a system which contributes to operational efficiency”.
For the rental business, one of the company’s core divisions, improving value add has become a
major requirement. One identified value adds timeliness.
What would be the recommended solution to address the CIO concerns and improve the
timeliness value add?

A.
Implement an HP CloudSystem Enterprise solution with AS/400 as aback and solution.

B.
Implement an HP CloudSystem Matrix while maintaining the AS/400 systems for bursting.

C.

D.
Perform stack analysis, migrate AS/400 to Linux, and implement an HP CloudSystem Matrix.
