HP has unveiled new and enhanced information optimisation solutions, which it says will help enterprises manage, understand and act on the variety, velocity and volume of they receive to drive maximum benefit from that information.

HP uses the term 'return on information' to describe the value that organisations generate from their investments in information solutions, services and resources, by gaining insight from their data to make better and quicker decisions.

HP expanded its HP AppSystems portfolio to offer improved capabilities of its converged infrastructure with Apache Hadoop, HP Vertica Analytics Platform and Autonomy eDiscovery environments.

Says HP, the Autonomy Legal and Compliance Performance Suite is an end-to-end solution that allows businesses to detect and act on new signals of risk; understand, protect, govern and collaborate on information; and maintain with local, federal and international regulations.

The company says the suite is powered by the Autonomy Intelligent Data Operating Layer, a unique pattern-recognition engine that understands concepts in all forms of information, and includes offerings for archiving, data protection, enterprise content management (ECM), eDiscovery and records management.

In addition, the newly introduced HP Vertica Analytics Platform 6.1 is a next-generation platform, purpose-built to optimise big data. It enables enterprises to optimise and monetise big data with analytics packs, performance enhancements, enhanced integration with Hadoop, and simplified Amazon EC2 cloud deployments, all at hyper-speed and massive scale, says HP.

Also unveiled today, HP Telco Big Data and Analytics solutions enable communication service providers (CSPs) to transform data from a variety of sources, including subscribers' experiences and preferences, into actionable intelligence.

The company said the volume of the world's data is expected to reach eight zettabytes by 2015, which will pose massive challenges in terms of storage and management of data.

HP cited research it recently commissioned, which revealed that almost 60% of business executives report that their organisations are not equipped with the right solutions to gain insight from big data, and only 10% said their businesses currently incorporate unstructured data into their enterprise insights, processes and strategies.

Today, the company introduced solutions from Autonomy and HP Vertica, and said these, coupled with new HP Converged Infrastructure solutions and services expertise, will allow businesses and governments to extract value from 100% of their structured, semi-structured and unstructured information.

"Over the next several years, return on information will become the single most important measure of success for organisations," said George Kadifa, executive VP, Software, HP. "HP will continue to invest in and develop solutions and services that harness the volume, diversity and unpredictability of information to deliver real value to our clients."
