HP Unveils Global Open Network for Cloud Services
Global, Secure Ecosystem Will Help Enterprises Thrive in a
Hybrid World
LAS VEGAS, NV--(Marketwired - Jun 10, 2014) - HP (NYSE: HPQ)
today introduced the HP Helion Network, a global, open network
designed to provide customers with an unparalleled portfolio of
services and the ability to create a secure hybrid IT environment
that addresses local and global requirements.
Grounded in HP's leadership in OpenStack®-based distributed
cloud computing, the HP Helion Network is expected to provide a
unique commercial and operating model for service providers. It is
being built to attract a powerful ecosystem of independent software
vendors, developers, system integrators and value-added resellers
to accelerate innovation and deliver open standards-based hybrid
cloud services.
The service providers within the HP Helion Network will provide
the foundation for the ecosystem of services. It will also build on
the strength of the HP CloudAgile Service Provider program, which
has more than 115 service providers worldwide and 1,500 private
cloud deployments. The Helion Network is designed to include
companies -- such as participants like AT&T, HKT, Intel and
Synapsis -- who will work with HP to evolve the network.
"Global enterprises grapple with a daunting array of cloud
products and services across locations, which creates challenges
that include security, data sovereignty, interoperability and
quality of service," said Martin Fink, executive vice president and
chief technology officer, HP. "The HP Helion Network leverages HP's
expertise gained from running OpenStack technology at scale and our
ability to unite service providers and technology partners.
Together, we're building a federated ecosystem that enables
organizations to deploy services on the right platform at the right
time and at the right cost."
The hardware-agnostic HP Helion Network will offer enterprise
customers:
- An open, secure and agile hybrid IT environment with no vendor
lock-in, which enables workload portability between on- and
off-premises environments.
- Access to an expanded enterprise-grade cloud services portfolio
that includes horizontal and vertical applications, as well as
network-enhanced services such as secure cloud networking, enabling
customers to meet local and multinational hybrid requirements.
- The ability to meet country-specific data regulations regarding
data sovereignty, retention and protection.
"Our enterprise customers are looking for a secure cloud
solution for applications that require heightened levels of
information protection, allowing them to gain economic, speed and
control benefits," said Andrew Geisse, chief executive officer,
AT&T Business Solutions. "We are excited to integrate our
patented NetBond technology with HP Helion and look forward to
finding ways to further extend these capabilities across The HP
Helion Network ecosystem."
New opportunities for HP partners The HP Helion Network will
better position service providers, HP channel partners and
developers to meet the evolving needs of their enterprise customers
with the New Style of IT, while capturing a greater share of the
rapidly growing cloud market.
Benefits for partners will include:
- The ability to drive new revenue streams and lower costs by
offering differentiated cloud offerings that harness HP and partner
technology and expertise.
- An expanded portfolio of cloud services, allowing service
providers to sell other HP Helion Network service provider vertical
and horizontal cloud solutions.
- Collaborative sales and marketing efforts to enhance market
coverage and increase go-to-market efficiencies. This includes
access to HP training, collateral and go-to-market support via HP's
direct and indirect channel partners -- including value-added
resellers and distributors.
- Access to flexible payment structures that help align IT
investment with revenue.
Expanding the HP Helion portfolio The HP Helion Network will
become part of the HP Helion portfolio of products and services
announced last month. New additions to the portfolio include:
- HP Helion OpenStack -- A preview version of the commercial
edition that is designed to address the needs of global enterprises
and service providers. It provides a scale-out, hardened and
curated commercial-grade deployment of OpenStack technology with
enhancements to simplify installation, provide resiliency and
improve manageability. HP Helion OpenStack will be offered under a
straightforward pricing model of $1,400 per server for an annual
subscription, with multiyear and volume discounts beginning at 50
nodes.
- HP Helion Development Platform -- A preview version of the
community edition of the integrated cloud application platform
based on CloudFoundry™, fully integrated and tested with HP Helion
OpenStack. It is designed to enable enterprise developers to
rapidly develop, deploy and scale native cloud applications with
world-class developer tools and an open, interoperable
platform.
"IT transformation to a cloud infrastructure is an
imperative today, and Intel remains committed to working with the
industry to accelerate the adoption of cloud
solutions," said Jonathan Donaldson, general manager,
Software Defined Infrastructure Group, Intel. "Intel is
pleased to be collaborating with HP on HP Helion OpenStack to
advance its enterprise readiness with a focus on availability,
security and ease of deployment."
Availability The HP Helion Network is expected to launch a pilot
program in the fourth quarter of 2014. General availability for HP
Helion OpenStack and the HP Helion Development Platform is planned
for the same time frame.
