HP Extends Cloud Leadership with New Hybrid Delivery Solutions

HP extended its Hybrid Delivery solutions portfolio so enterprises can improve their agility and quickly respond to changing customer and citizen needs. Hybrid delivery environments, which combine traditional IT infrastructures with private and public clouds, enable enterprise agility by using flexible delivery models to best meet changing market demands. Recent research conducted on behalf of HP reveals that 95 percent of business and government executives believe agility is important to the success of their organizations. Investments in technology were viewed as a key factor to increasing agility in the next five years.

HP CloudSystem – the most complete, integrated and open platform for building and managing services across private, public and hybrid cloud environments – now includes the industry’s first “dual bursting” capability to help clients manage uneven demands. This innovation allows clients to provision and dynamically scale resources up and down either via a public cloud provider or through an on site pay-as-you-go cloud model. In addition, to enable service providers to take advantage of the rapidly growing cloud market, HP announced HP Cloud Agile, a comprehensive program that spans the full HP enterprise portfolio including Cloud System. To speed time to revenue and improve financial flexibility for a broad range of service providers, the program provides participants with direct access to HP’s global sales force and its worldwide network of channel partners, as well as opportunities to deliver new cloud services.

HP Hybrid Delivery services enable clients to select the best method of delivery for their organizations, tuned to their environments. HP Support Services for Cloud System provides a single point of accountability with integrated hardware and software support, 24/7 coverage, proactive problem prevention and automated HP Remote Support. As a result, clients can shift resources from trouble shooting to innovation, improving their ability to quickly respond to changing customer and citizen demands. In addition, HP CloudStart services extend the capabilities of HP CloudSystem to help clients define initial private cloud services, implement internal costing and chargeback, and comply with clients’ existing security and backup policies. New functionality automates deployments of basic applications, compliance monitoring and patch management in a private cloud. This allows clients to realize the benefits of cloud computing in a compressed timeframe. New HP CloudSystem curriculum and courses from HP Education Services provide clients with knowledge and change management support to quickly realize the full potential of their cloud technology investments.

New HP security services, available through the cloud, mitigate risk of security vulnerabilities, while lowering the financial commitment often required for security contracts. Services include: HP Enterprise Cloud Service – Vulnerability Scanning, which reduces the risk of data loss or unauthorized access by reducing common security mistakes.
