HP, the world's second-largest technology firm by revenue, is betting big on the government, banking and telecom sectors in India. HP India managing director Neelam Dhawan said the company's business in India grew more than 30% for the quarter ended January 2010. New offerings such as 'converged infrastructure' have received good responses. Converged infrastructure combines storage, servers, network, power and cooling, as well as management software."I see a lot of work happening in the state data centres, meant to host e-governance applications. I also see power roll out applications happening," Dhawan said.The firm would bid for participation in the unique ID project, but is unsure of the technology that could get deployed. "The authority is still looking at what should be the blueprint and design of the solution, what should be the architecture for it. It is an important application area and we are certainly keen to participate as it develops. As of now, it is still at the drawing board stage," she said. Government projects might take a couple of years to start. In terms of transaction value, telecom and banking were on its crosshairs. "3G will increase transaction volumes, which means more capacity needs to be managed. In banking, there are 300 million account holders now and financial inclusion targets 700 million accounts," the MD said."Our portfolio of services has gone up from before the acquisition. We never did application management services before. We have introduced that whole stack. We have introduced new offerings in managed services and infrastructure outsoucing," Dhawan said. EDS is helping the firm address segments such as transportation and healthcare, areas not addressed before.Last week, the firm announced the 'biggest launch in 10 years' in mission critical computing - server blades that can be scaled up as per demand, a consolidation platform upgrade and a scalable rack server among others. The scalability of the architecture will protect investment for customers, executives said. They need not replace "boxes" in the years ahead - just "field upgrade" them.
