HP has introduced new cloud solutions to advance deployment of private, public and hybrid clouds. The company has integrated its HP CloudSystem with Alcatel-Lucent to enable communication service providers for networking.
HP has also introduced HP CloudAgile Service Provider program, HP CloudSystem Matrix 7.0, HP Cloud Protection program, HP Enterprise Cloud Services–Compute, and training programs to transform legacy data centers for cloud computing.
“Clients want to understand, plan, build and source for cloud computing in a way that allows them to gain agility, reduce risk, maintain control and ensure security,” said Santanu Ghose, Country Head, Converged Infrastructure Solutions, HP India.
HP CloudSystem Matrix 7.0 enables clients to build hybrid clouds with push-button access to externally sourced cloud-based IT resources. This solution also includes automatic, on-demand provisioning of HP 3PAR storage. The comprehensive HP Cloud Protection program offers comprehensive strategy, roadmap, design and implementation services spanning people, process, policies and technologies to deliver the same level of security for a hybrid cloud as a private IT environment would receive.
HP Enterprise Cloud Services–Compute automates distribution of application workloads across multiple servers. It improves data protection through backup and restore options, and manages additional virtual local area networks within their cloud environment. HP Enterprise Cloud Services for SAP Development and Sandbox Solution helps to evaluate and prototype the functionality of SAP ERP software via a private cloud.
The company is also offering three HP ExpertONE certifications – HP ASE Cloud Architect, HP ASE Cloud Integrator and HP ASE Master Cloud Integrator – that encompass business and technical content. HP Cloud Curriculum from HP Education Services offers course materials in multiple languages covering cloud strategies. HP Storage Consulting Services for cloud enable clients to understand their storage requirements for private cloud computing as well as develop an architecture that meets their needs. |
