HP Helps Air France Create Private Cloud to Automate Deployment of
Technology Platforms in Physical and Virtual Environments
HP Operations Orchestration and HP Server Automation Software
Reduce Cost of Infrastructure Provisioning by 85 Percent
LES ULIS, FRANCE--(Marketwired - Jan 14, 2014) - HP (NYSE: HPQ)
today announced that Air France has automated and increased the
reliability of its 1,500 Linux servers by deploying a private cloud
solution based on HP Cloud Service Automation (CSA) software to
accelerate deployment times for physical and virtual
infrastructures.
Air France operates 1,500 flights daily in France and across the
world. Together with KLM, Air France is part of one of the leading
European air transport groups, offering customers access to a
network covering 230 destinations in 113 countries from hubs at
Paris Charles de Gaulle airport and Amsterdam Airport Schiphol. In
addition, KLM and Air France, along with partners Delta and
Alitalia, operate Europe's biggest transatlantic joint venture,
with more than 250 flights daily.
With between 350 and 500 installations and reinstallations
annually, Air France's Linux server farm is growing rapidly. In
light of the resource costs incurred by these installations, and
the increasing convergence between Air France and KLM, it became
necessary to standardize on a single tool to automate the
deployment of operating systems, middleware, monitoring tools and
capacity management. The HP solution, which paid for itself within
a year, significantly reduced the time it was taking to bring
environments into service while improving quality and reducing
operational costs.
"Since automating our installation processes, we have gone
from around six days for installing a server cluster to one day
and, instead of more than 24 hours, it now takes less than 15
minutes to install one virtual machine," said Patrick Bourel, head
of Open Systems, Air France. "This scalable platform will allow Air
France to put in place monitoring and audit tools in order to
achieve better quality of service."
After a validation phase with HP Operations Orchestration and HP
Server Automation software, which reduced the cost of
infrastructure provisioning by 85 percent, Air France created a
private cloud with HP Cloud Service Automation (CSA) software and
put the solution into production. In the space of 12 months, 90
percent of installation processes were automated. HP CSA's
self-service portal gives project managers secure access to
installation services and automatic server provisioning, reducing
delivery time and eliminating human error.
This private cloud, enriched by the integration of a range of
application environments, will be progressively extended to other
groups of users who want to access an expanding catalogue of cloud
services. The next phase of the project consists of automating the
deployment of application environments and increasing the
functionalities of the platform with DevOps functions for a
community of 500 to 600 developers.
"Businesses are increasingly interested in cloud solutions
that can improve flexibility, enable new business processes and
increase efficiency," said Jean-Marc Defaut, director, Cloud, HP
France. "HP software helps Air France achieve its business
objectives, now and in the future."
