Cyber security has become a topic of severe concern to executives and boards in recent years. Part of this is driven by the numerous high-profile cyber incidents that have struck Australia and around the world.
The underlying reason for this is clear. Data might be the “new oil,” but as its value to the organisation has grown, so too has the risk attached to it, and the CEO and the board that they report to needs to be risk adverse.
This creates headaches for the technology leaders in the organisation. The opportunity for using the data is huge, but too often they feel like they need to “work around” the data protection concerns of the executives, and their inclination to try to lock technology environment down to “secure” it.
Of course, robust security is non-optional. But it also can’t obstruct and disrupt the productivity of the enterprise. IT solutions need to adopt a best-of-breed approach to IT, data protection and security. When there is confidence in the resilience of the IT environment, it then becomes possible to better leverage data and align the IT with the broader business objectives.
Delivering this is where HPE, Intel® and Metropolitan Computers & Supplies come in.
What Confidence in IT Looks Like
HPE’s answer to the data protection and security challenge is HPE GreenLake powered by Intel®, and with decades of experience in building enterprise technology, this solution cuts to the core of what modern security should look like.

Data was already a critical area of investment that cuts to the core of modern business success. Data is essential for connecting with customers, supporting decision-making, and embracing innovation.
Things are only set to accelerate from here. AI is on the horizon, and AI success comes down entirely to the quality of the data sitting behind it. As noted by Gartner, for all the hype, enterprises haven’t quite started spending on AI solutions just yet, but that is coming.
AI is “top of mind for many business and IT leaders, [but] it is not yet significantly impacting IT spending levels,” John-David Lovelock, distinguished VP analyst at Gartner, said.
When it does start to impact, and enterprises start looking to push into AI and making even greater use of their data, the existing challenges that many face are going to accelerate.
This is why having a partner like Metropolitan Computers & Supplies, and access to technology from a leader in the space, like Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE) and Intel®, is going to be so critical for interpreting the data opportunity into real business outcomes.
Where Do Data Headaches Come From?
Data is demanding, and when poorly managed or architected, can become very expensive, very quickly. Where organisations can most benefit from the support of experience and expertise in data include:
1) Current Ongoing Data Management Costs
It’s actually getting cheaper to store and manage data. The problem is that the amount of data being generated outpaces the lowering cost of storage services. Now, organisations face some real challenges: traditional data storage solutions are inefficient and costly to scale. Cloud storage, however, can quickly lead to “bill shock” if organisations are not aware of just how much data and licenses they have running through their services.
As a gold partner to HPE, Metropolitan Computers & Supplies can assist with designing storage environments all the way to large datacentres, and delivering end-to-end hardware-as-a-service solutions. Furthermore, our deep knowledge in financing solutions can assist you with preparing and executing a strategy to manage the costs of data.
2) Risk from Aging Equipment and Storage
As storage equipment ages, data availability becomes less certain, and lost data becomes more likely. Outdated infrastructure is more susceptible to failures, security breaches, and downtime. This can have severe implications for a company’s productivity and, in extreme cases, its ability to remain compliant by maintaining copies of critical data.
Organisations are often hesitant to plan upgrades to storage environments for fear of disruption, but Metropolitan Computers & Supplies maintains its own warehouses and can hold inventory for customers, meaning that hardware refreshes and upgrades can be carefully orchestrated. With more than 25 years experience with HPE, it’s possible to modernise a storage environment within budget and keep the data environment fully optimised.
3) The Need to Upgrade the Server Hardware to Support Future vSphere Versions
As technology evolves, so does the need for updated server hardware. Older hardware becomes a security liability and lacks features and support, as it can’t run more modern versions of vSphere.
Metropolitan Computers & Supplies, in collaboration with HPE and Intel®, offers a seamless transition path for organisations looking to upgrade their server hardware. HPE’s server solutions powered by Intel® are designed to be flexible and scalable, allowing businesses to adapt to changing software demands without major disruptions. This flexibility allows Metropolitan Computers & Suppliers to assist organisations to architect a solution that suits their needs. From there, the organisation will have the infrastructure to support their data delivery needs.
4) The Additional Cost for Managing “Hot” Data, to Target Analytics and AI
In the era of data-driven decision-making, enterprises are increasingly turning to analytics and AI to generate superior and deeper insights. These solutions require highly available and incredibly fast storage, however, and processing and managing this “hot” data comes at a premium.
To address that challenge, organisations need to be incredibly effective and efficient at categorising data, and effortlessly moving data between the hot and cold tiers as needed. HPE has the infrastructure required for those high-performance computing environments, and Metropolitan Computers & Supplies has the capability to support customers as they design the optimal environment.
5) The Skills Shortage is Severe (and Widening)
Australia is in the throes of a deep deficit when it comes to skills, and the gap is widening. Before organisations can begin to explore making advanced use of data, they need to first have the skills to roll out and manage these solutions.
Metropolitan Computers & Supplies provides a deep set of services that include technical support and works closely with customers on an ongoing basis. This allows organisations to confidently explore data solutions without needing to first plug all of the skills gaps that they may be facing.
What Does a “Data-First” Approach Mean?
Organisations that can overcome all of these hurdles with the support of Metropolitan Computers & Supplies and HPE can take a true data-first approach to IT. This means putting data at the centre of all the organisations operations and decision-making processes. It unlocks the opportunity to leverage automation and AI, and gives the organisation a strong competitive advantage for its ability to react quickly to market trends, improve the customer experience, and run more efficiently and productively.
Business transformation like this is possible with the support of Metropolitan Computers & Supplies and a tier-1 hardware partner like HPE and Intel®. From endpoint to server and cloud, you will be able to architect an IT environment that maximises the collection and use of data to drive better business outcomes.

Logistics are challenging things to get right, especially when they’re part of a global rollout with a hard deadline, and the rollout is to service hundreds of locations simultaneously.
Thanks to sheer excellence in the logistics and supply co-ordination, and a firm commitment to delivering on client outcomes, the team at Metropolitan Computers and Supplies were commended with a global award from the Quick Service Restaurant (QSR) giant, Subway.
Metro Computers was instrumental in the nationwide upgrade to Subway’s POS hardware and software. Their blend of technical expertise and service delivery meant a quality experience for IPCA and Subway franchisees.
Metro Computers worked with a range of other vendors to complete the rollout managing the complex logistics with clear communications and engagement. When dealing with multiple small businesses across a very wide geography many things can go wrong, and because of our partnership with Metro Computers, it was seamless and expertly delivered.”
Monica Gorasia, Head of IT for IPC Asia Pacific
Metropolitan Computers and Supplies was tasked with delivering when rolling out a new Point of Sale (POS) solution across Australia, after Subway had embarked on a global refresh of both hardware and software. The project was a huge success and, from which, the global standard for future rollouts was set. It was not without its challenges, but Metropolitan Computers and Supplies was ultimately able to drive the project’s success. There were three key learnings from this process: it’s important to engage all stakeholders across vendors, partners and the client early, frequently and transparently.
The project was the result of HP winning a competitive tender for the refresh, which would be implemented and supported by Subway’s partner in Australia, IPC Asia Pacific. The project needed to be completed rapidly, as Subway was rolling out a software solution that needed the hardware in place at all franchisees. HP, in collaboration with Intel and Metropolitan Computers and Supplies, delivered on this strict deadline by keeping these three key considerations in mind.
Engage Early
This project faced twofold major challenges: the extremely tight deadline, and the fact that the franchisees would be required to install the systems themselves. Not all of them had the technical capabilities, and so, while the solution was ready out of the box, many still needed to draw on technical support.
Without engaging early and collaborating quickly, it would have been difficult to assist each franchisee in time. Subway and IPC Asia Pacific both wanted all franchisees to have every opportunity to meet the deadline set by global HQ, and therefore delays in delivery or support would have undermined the effort.
Engage Frequently
The amount of contact that was required between HP and Metropolitan Computers and Supplies to deliver the solution across Australia in such rapid time was extensive, with the key people involved speaking to one another multiple times per day. This highlights just how key communication is during a complex logistics operation. It also underpins why HP has a reputation for being able to work at scale and support its partners with boots on the ground. The company can deliver that to its customers because their teams – and the channel partners they work with – are both proactive and responsive in communication.
Be Transparent
Metropolitan Computers and Supplies won technology vendor of the year from Subway for their efforts in delivering this POS solution across Australia. Achieving that came down to their ability to have honest and frank conversations with their project partners, and particularly HP. Delivering systems in much less time than other solutions, ensuring a high rate of adoption.
These are always “best practice” business truths, but when facing time pressure, the ability to deliver in any partnership project really comes down to having a relationship that focuses on these three key values.

t is the biggest of many challenges facing the world today, but could the technology industry do more on sustainability? The impact of technology is well-documented. According to the UN, the tech sector is responsible for 2 to 3 per cent of global greenhouse gas emissions. There are some promising initiatives, like the HP Device Recovery program, but clearly more can be done. Here are 5 ways you can make more environmentally sound tech choices.
Use Sustainable Products
HP was first to use ocean going plastics in the construction of its HP Elite Dragonfly laptops, and source materials are an important consideration in the HP Sustainable Impact Portfolio. Some laptop components come from recycled devices under the HP Device Recovery program. You can expect to see environmental information and ratings alongside CPU and RAM when you shop for new HP devices. This is just as you might expect a star rating on larger electronic devices such as fridges and televisions. Where HP Device Recovery leads the way, Metropolitan Computers and Supplies hopes others will follow.
Reduce, Reuse, Recycle
The three Rs of recycling are as valid in your business as they are in your home. Look for programs like HP Device Recovery, where your data is erased from old devices, which are repurposed to prevent waste. Fewer than 10% of computers in Australia are recycled, even though 98% of their components could be. The remainder heads to landfill. Many of those components come from dwindling supplies of rare earth metals, so it makes sense for HP Device Recovery to recover them.
Use Sustainable Packaging$
Many plastic packaging products end up clogging our oceans and waterways. At Metropolitan Computers and Supplies, you can expect to see us reusing packaging materials. It helps us to keep your costs down, and it is good for the planet. We also partner with vendors like HP, whose packaging is 100% recycled, and support the HP Device Recovery program.
Make Energy Efficient Upgrades
Technology is heavy on energy consumption. In 2019, just the datacentres used to mine Bitcoin used as much electricity as the whole of Belgium. Industry leaders HP achieved energy reduction averaging 44 per cent on its laptops designs since 2010, as well as introducing HP Device Recovery. Going beyond devices: Metropolitan Computers and Supplies upgraded to use solar panels on our buildings that produce more than 32kW of energy.
Know Where Your Old Tech Goes
It is anticipated there will be 17.2 billion devices connected to the internet by the end of 2023, so HP Device Recovery is more important than ever. Ensuring that your devices are not contributing to the 50 million tonnes of technology waste going to landfill.
HP’s Perspective on Device Recovery
“Over the last decade, sustainability has rightly become a necessity for organisations. HP has made it a priority to embed sustainability at the heart of its operations, frameworks, services, products, and assets – so when our customers partner with us, they are reaping the sustainability benefits too. We continue to focus on doing the right thing, so we can deliver lasting value through the power of our technology that doesn’t cost the earth.” -Jordana Desmyth, Commercial Channel Sales Manager at HP.
Check the best way to dispose of retired tech. Even your old printer cartridges can be disposed of safely and sustainably. At Metropolitan Computers and Supplies we operate a program to do exactly that. We already have some customers who return their used cartridges to our warehouse for recycling and we hope to see this increase within the new financial year.
While the tech sector has a fair way to go, businesses can make informed choices that minimise their own environmental impact when buying tech. Using HP Device Recovery for responsible disposal is just the first step. Organisations can include questions about environmental impact when they issue requests for tender, compare device energy consumption, and evaluate sustainability programs like HP Device Recovery. Our industry is blessed with innovators who can make a real difference. We encourage our customers to hold us accountable for making a sustainable difference.

Tech waste is an escalating problem, with an astounding 50 million tons accumulated annually. For organizations committed to reducing their environmental impact, disposing of end-of-life tech plays a crucial role in their sustainability efforts. Let’s say you’ve diligently chosen a fleet of upgraded HP business laptops powered by Intel® processors, an environmentally conscious choice. Now, what steps should you take with the old fleet?
Your retiring HP business laptops are comprised of numerous recyclable components that can contribute to the circular economy. If kept out of landfills, valuable metals like aluminium, magnesium, and even gold can be reintroduced into the manufacturing process. Where new HP business laptops, recycle these elements, reducing the need for extensive mining. Plastics are being recycled for various products, ranging from tech to clothing. Despite having served you well, that old HP business laptop still has a valuable role to play in the tech cycle.
Fortunately, it is relatively straightforward to ensure your HP business laptop avoids landfill and undergoes safe and appropriate recycling. Where the most responsible technology vendors have implemented programs integrated into the procurement process. One standout program is the HP Device Recovery Service, where HP specialists securely remove your data and then refurbish, reuse, or recycle it. This includes your old HP business laptops, desktops, and other devices. If your HP business laptop still holds value, you can receive compensation, making your upgrade more affordable. Alternatively, it may find reuse elsewhere, generating extra value, or be disassembled to provide materials for new products. In any case, it won’t be contributing to the growing e-waste crisis.
Sustainability through HP and Metropolitan Computers and Supplies
You don’t have to be a global industry leader like HP to make a difference. As an HP-accredited partner, we offer an asset recovery service that ensures responsible disposal of devices, regardless of the vendor. This service extends to recycling printer ink and toner cartridges through the HP Planet Partner recycling Program. All you need to do is send us your empty HP cartridges (but, don’t worry, we will accept cartridges from other brands* too), and we’ll take care of the rest. The materials are transformed for use in new cartridges and other everyday items through a multi-phase recycling process.
When procuring new devices, our specialists are always available to guide you towards environmentally friendly options. From printers that reduce energy requirements to the latest HP business laptops made from recycled aluminium and ocean-bound plastic. We’re here to make sure that our customers can avoid contributing to the 50-ton problem of e-waste through ethical procurement choices.

Buying devices is a big decision. Not only is it a financial commitment, but your choice also plays a big part in workforce productivity. Increasingly, you must also consider the environmental impact of your purchase, both in manufacture process and ongoing use. So, how do you choose the right HP business laptop powered by Intel® for your needs, and which HP business desktop will cause the least environmental impact?
HP’s sustainability program is well established and has influenced the design of HP business desktops and laptops for several years now. The company’s sustainability report offers a wealth of detail on its efforts. If that’s more reading than you have time for, look out for the EPEAT label next time you’re choosing an HP business desktop or laptop. This label indicates that the device meets stringent environmental criteria.
Accessories haven’t been forgotten in the sustainability focus. Monitors and printers, even laptop bags have received some attention. The stylish HP Renew Laptop Bag is made from 100% recycled material, perfect for carrying that HP business laptop between meetings. Packaging, too, has changed. HP set some ambitious targets, including elimination of 75% of single use plastic packaging. In the first five years, the amount has already dropped by an impressive 44%, and more than 150,000 units have now been shipped using fibre moulded packing products. Unwrapping a new HP business desktop no longer leaves you surrounded by plastic bubble wrap.
What are the products to look out for?
Here are some Metropolitan Computers and Supplies favourites
For any organisation, customer satisfaction and employee morale make a real difference to long-term success. That means caring about what matters to these key groups. With four out of five consumers preferring to shop from brands who care about sustainability. It stands to reason that reducing environmental impact makes good business sense, and your tech choices are central to this process. Enter the HP Elite Dragonfly G3 powered by Intel®.
As individuals, travel is one of the biggest ways we impact the environment. In particular, commuting more than 6km leads to increased CO 2 emissions. Working from home, or hybrid working, reduces this impact by keeping cars off the roads. Consequently, the HP Elite Dragonfly G3 is designed with remote workers in mind. It includes collaboration features like AI-driven and crystal-clear Bang & Olufsen audio. The 5MP camera and its HD display makes Teams meetings a more enjoyable and productive experience. Wolf Security for Business takes care of protecting the endpoint, so hybrid working doesn’t come at an unnecessary risk.
Designed with the Environment in Mind
The environmental advantages of the HP Elite Dragonfly G3 go far beyond its stunning, slate blue casing. It is worth noting that the casing uses recycled magnesium and aluminium. Other elements, such as the speaker housing, are made from ocean-bound plastics. Even the key caps draw on recycled plastics. HP has put considerable work into a design that optimises battery life, so users can get more from every charge. It is also smart enough to reduce energy consumption during charging. HP’s business laptop range has on average reduced energy demands by 44% since 2018. The HP Elite Dragonfly G3 has achieved EPEAT Energy Star and TCO certifications.
The HP Elite Dragonfly G3 has an ultraportable, clamshell design that allows users to stay connected while traveling light. It has eliminated the need for a separate tablet when working on-the-go and helps to reduce business costs. It has also passed extensive testing against shock, vibration, and extreme temperatures. It is remarkably durable for something so sleek, and less likely to need replacing when put through its paces by more demanding users. Fewer devices equal lower overall carbon footprint, so the flexibility and longevity factors delivered by the HP Elite Dragonfly G3 are significant.
Uncompromising Performance and Style
Performance-wise, this laptop packs a lot of punch. It might weigh just under a kilo, with 1.5cm width, but the 12 th generation Intel® Core™ processors inside ensure smooth performance for remote workers juggling many demanding apps. The HP Elite Dragonfly G3 offers next-gen 5G connectivity, and plenty of ports for connecting external devices. No sacrificing capability for all those environmentally friendly design elements.
