HP launches products and services geared towards cloud computing

HP launches a suite of new products and services that it says will enable businesses and governments to leverage the power of the cloud while ensuring they meet required levels of security, performance and availability.

“Cloud computing is an important and growing platform for Instant-On Enterprises, where everything and everyone is connected. Instant-On Enterprises require IT environments that are flexible, automated and secure, and able to quickly adjust to changing demand,” the company said in a statement.

The new HP Hybrid Delivery solutions provide the benefits of enterprise-grade cloud computing, while meeting the specific needs of businesses and governments, HP added.

“Cloud computing is going mainstream and HP is leading the way,” said HP Enterprise Business executive vice president Ann Livermore. “HP has the enterprise experience, breadth of portfolio and global service delivery organization to lead our clients through this transformation.”

HP Enterprise Cloud Services-Compute delivers “private cloud as a service” from HP’s state-of-the-art data centers. Governed by specified policies for service, performance, security and privacy, it provides clients with rapidly deployed, secure computing with scalable IT capacity.

HP CloudSystem is the most complete, integrated system to build, manage and consume services across private, public and hybrid cloud environments.

It combines the strength of HP’s Converged Infrastructure with the established leadership of HP Cloud Service Automation software to deliver unified security, governance and compliance across applications, as well as physical and virtual infrastructure. HP CloudSystem enables new cloud services to be up and running in minutes.
