HP Unveils Cloud Innovations to Help Customers Thrive in a Hybrid
World
HP Expands Cloud Leadership, Hybrid Delivery of Openstack-Based
Technology With Next-Generation HP CloudSystem
BARCELONA, SPAIN--(Marketwired - Dec 11, 2013) - HP (NYSE: HPQ)
today expanded its cloud portfolio with new solutions and services
that offer enterprises greater agility, simplified management and
improved security for their hybrid environments.
As enterprises embrace new delivery models, one of the biggest
decisions chief information officers (CIOs) need to make on their
cloud journey is determining where applications or workloads
should live -- on traditional IT or in the cloud. Often,
applications will continue to live across multiple environments,
and hybrid delivery becomes an imperative. Research indicates that
40 percent of enterprises say they are currently in a hybrid
environment(1) and 75 percent of IT executives plan to pursue a
hybrid cloud delivery model by 2016.(2)
HP is focused on delivering hybrid solutions that bridge
traditional IT with private, public and managed clouds. New
solutions announced this week build on this strategy, including the
introduction of the next-generation HP CloudSystem, HP's flagship
offering for building and managing private clouds.
HP was recently ranked as a leader in the Forrester Wave report
for Private Cloud Solutions:
"HP leads the pack. [It provides] a clean and navigable
interface that wraps substantial depth and breadth of capabilities
into the fewest number of interfaces," writes Lauren E.
Nelson, analyst, in a recent Forrester report. "Unlike other
vendors in this space, HP adds functionality into a single
interface as a rule without making the overall experience less
intuitive." (3)
Enterprise-grade, open hybrid cloud solutions and services The
next-generation HP CloudSystem includes a new consumer-inspired
user interface, simplified management tools and an improved
deployment process that enable customers to set up and deploy a
complete private cloud environment in just hours, compared to weeks
for other private cloud solutions.(4) As the foundation of a hybrid
cloud solution, HP CloudSystem bursts to multiple public cloud
platforms, including three new ones: Microsoft® Windows® Azure, and
platforms from Arsys, a European-based cloud computing provider,
and SFR, a French telecommunications company.
HP CloudSystem integrates OpenStack™-based HP Cloud OS
technology, the foundation for HP's hybrid cloud
architecture, providing customers a hardened, tested OpenStack
distribution that is easy to install and manage. The
next-generation CloudSystem also incorporates the new HP Hybrid
Cloud Management Platform, a comprehensive management solution that
enables enterprises and service providers to deliver secure cloud
services across public or private clouds as well as traditional
IT.
Also launching this week, the HP Hybrid Cloud Management
Platform integrates HP Cloud Service Automation (CSA) version 4.0
and includes native support for both HP CloudOS with OpenStack and
the open-source standard TOSCA (Topology and Orchestration
Specification for Cloud Applications), enabling easier application
portability and management of hybrid and heterogeneous IT
environments.
To help customers architect and implement a hybrid cloud
strategy, HP is adding a new hybrid-design capability to its global
professional services capabilities. HP Hybrid Cloud Design
Professional Services offer a highly modular design approach to
help organizations architect a cloud solution that aligns with
their technical, organizational and business needs. The new
consulting services help customers evolve their cloud strategy and
vision into a solution based on delivering business outcomes and
ready for implementation.
HP is expanding its Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) offering, which
is already helping hundreds of customers worldwide take advantage
of the economics of a public cloud with the security and control of
a private cloud solution. The new HP VPC Portfolio provides a range
of VPC solutions, from standardized self service to a customized,
fully managed service model. All HP VPC solutions deliver the
security and control of a private cloud in a flexible,
cost-effective, multitenant cloud environment. The latest version
of HP Managed VPC now allows customers to choose among virtual or
physical configurations, multiple tiers of storage, hypervisors and
network connectivity types.
As part of its overall hybrid delivery, HP offers HP Flexible
Capacity (FC), an on-premises solution of enterprise-grade
infrastructure with cloud economics, including pay-for-use and
instant scalability of server, storage, networking and software
capacity. Now HP FC supports existing customer third-party
equipment for a true heterogeneous environment. HP CloudSystem
also can burst to HP FC infrastructure for customers needing the
on-demand capacity without the data ever leaving the premises.
"The reality today is that CIOs want and need the benefits of
cloud computing, but they are dealing with the complexities of a
hybrid IT environment," said Saar Gillai, senior vice president and
general manager, HP Cloud. "HP Cloud solutions provide enterprises
with a holistic and simplified approach for deploying, securing and
managing workloads across hybrid delivery models, ensuring a
successful cloud journey."
