HP expands cloud-based services with Cloud OS, Moonshot, and CloudSystem

CI Roadshow 4

In a mobile, connected and immediate world, organizations need to prepare for rapid market changes and speed delivery of services. Many organizations want to move toward a more efficient, service-oriented, cloud-based service delivery model but they must overcome the inflexibility and high costs created by IT sprawl, while ensuring people and processes are aligned.

HP expanded portfolio of services helps Asia Pacific and Japan (APJ) organizations optimize their current IT infrastructure while laying the groundwork for cloud-based approaches. Organizations are adopting a HP Converged Cloud portfolio which includes:

  • HP Cloud Operating System (OS) an open and extensible cloud technology platform based on OpenStack® technology provides the foundation for the HP Converged Cloud common architecture.
  • HP’s Moonshot servers are offered with HP Cloud OS, providing simplified provisioning and management for specific cloud workloads such as dedicated hosting and large-scale websites. HP Cloud Services, HP’s public cloud offering, also leverages HP Cloud OS technology, providing one of the leading public clouds based on OpenStack technology. Further, for customers to evaluate and understand the benefits of an OpenStack-based architecture for their cloud needs, HP is offering HP Cloud OS Sandbox for experimentation at no cost.
  • HP CloudSystem provides over 400 APJ customers with a complete, integrated and open platform that enables organizations to build and manage services across private, managed and public cloud environments. HP CloudSystem already embeds HP Cloud OS technology, offering customers greater choice in deployment options.
  • HP CloudSystem Enterprise Starter Suite allows organizations to quickly take the first step to deliver advanced platform and application cloud services. Composed of automation, orchestration and cloud management software solutions, as well as an associated installation service, this package is specifically designed to make it easy to add platform and application services to private cloud environments.
