HP announces Converged Cloud solutions
New offerings enable enterprises to incorporate a blend of public, private and managed cloud services with their existing IT
HP has announced HP Converged Cloud, touted as the industrys first hybrid delivery approach and portfolio based on a common architecture spanning traditional IT, private, managed and public clouds.
HP Converged Cloud seeks to provide enterprises 3 Cs: Choice of multiple hypervisors, OSes and development environments; Confidence, through a management and security offering that spans information, applications and infrastructure; and Consistency, through a single common architecture.
The convergence of cloud computing and mobile connectivity is changing the way infrastructures are built, applications are developed and information is delivered, said Neelam Dhawan, managing director, HP India. HP Converged Cloud enables enterprises to incorporate a blend of public, private and managed cloud services with their existing IT to create a seamless hybrid environment that rapidly adapts to their changing requirements.
Research commissioned by HP reveals that organizations are undergoing major shifts in how services are delivered. It also highlights how cloud offerings are increasingly being sourced without IT department approvals.
The survey indicated that about one in every two enterprises had departments running non-IT-sanctioned cloud solutions, and 20 percent indicated they were unsure. With the projected use of private and public cloud models increase by 30 percent by 2020, successful organizations will need to find a way to embrace these solutions without adding additional complexity and risk to their environments.
HP Cloud Services will deliver its initial offering, HP Public Infrastructure as a Service, as a public beta starting May 10. The offering provides on-demand compute instances or virtual machines, scalable online storage capacity and accelerated delivery of cached content to end users. As a result, developers will be able to deploy services within minutes and pay only for the resources they use. Also on May 10, HP Cloud Services will introduce, as a private beta, two additional Infrastructure-as-a-Service offerings: a relational database service for MySQL, and a block storage service that supports movement of data from one compute instance to another.
HPs new Cloud Maps extend HPs integrated, open solution by providing prepackaged application templates that create a customized catalog of application services ready for push-button deployment. Together with HP CloudSystem, HP Cloud Maps can reduce the time to create new cloud services for enterprise applications from months to minutes.
To help test these applications, HP also announced HP Service Virtualization 2.0. This software offering enables clients to test the quality and performance of cloud or mobile applications without disrupting production systems. This is accomplished by offering access to restricted services in a simulated, virtualized environment.
For clients who do not wish to manage their own clouds, HP announced new HP Enterprise Cloud Services that provide offerings for private clouds, continuity services and unified communications. By outsourcing cloud management to a trusted IT provider, clients can leverage on-demand usage and pricing models to redirect cost savings to other strategic projects.
To further extend the portfolio, HP also announced new HP Engineering Cloud Transformation Services that help product development and engineering design teams confidently embrace the cloud to improve productivity and rapidly bring new products to market. In addition, new Cloud Security Alliance training courses arm clients with the knowledge to avoid potential security implications of cloud solutions.
