HP's research and development resources in the field of cloud computing are far beyond the past

HP's research and development resources in the field of cloud computing have gone far beyond. In Wednesday, Hewlett-Packard announced a new addition to its converged cloud program, aimed at deepening its openstack contribution and its hybrid cloud promoter role in the enterprise sector.

In its statement, Hewlett-Packard highlighted the role of the next phase of OpenStack architecture in private, managed, and public cloud products, while announcing new cloud implementation software and services. In this statement, Hewlett-Packard pointed out that it "wants to build a hybrid world", so that 75% of the existing enterprise IT business "through the private, trust and public cloud" mechanism to deliver. It is expected that these efforts will be fully completed within three years.

HP's announcement of the cloud operating system is a OpenStack platform designed to manage across mixed clouds. The private cloud software Cloudsystem, which currently uses the HP Cloud operating system, and the new Cloudsystem Enterprise Starter Kit, are already in the market. This suite of bundled scenarios is designed to enable fast delivery of cloud services. Hewlett-Packard also claimed that the kit would also reduce upfront usage costs by up to 20%.

HP Cloud Operating system

HP Cloud operating system will also be landing HP moonshot server and HP cloud services. Despite its open-source OpenStack software, the HP Cloud operating system offers a simple security process, automatic upgrades, and the ability to perform random workload migrations between the internal cloud and HP Cloud services. The company says these enhancements will be added as Plug-ins, without the need to modify the OpenStack. The sandbox mechanism of cloud operating system can help customers build new software experiment environment without additional cost.

The company now offers a suite of integrated cloud professional services, including support, design, network services, Cloudsystem proactive maintenance, security risk consulting, and enhanced HP Application Cloud service conversion.

At the same time, Hewlett-Packard Enterprise Services began to transform into cloud services, especially for customer demand launched a series of mobile and enterprise applications. New products now include enterprise services such as cloud based enterprise applications, private cloud, and service risk and control.

Data Center Management Mode

Pund Company analyst Charles King believes that the current move by Hewlett-Packard reflects that cloud computing is gradually becoming an important "Datacenter management model". He also says that public, private, and mixed use cases start to mix, and enterprise users need to make environmental choices based on the application rather than the way it is used.

"Enterprise users are bound to require that certain applications and data remain in the data center environment," he explains, such as key business applications. He also cites a recent study by IDC to suggest that by 2016, 78% of corporate cloud workloads will be in a private cloud environment and that other loads are shared by public and mixed clouds.

Since the birth of the Red Hat, the OpenStack cloud infrastructure cooperation system has already surpassed its early promotion plan. The project now has more than 100 technical partners worldwide, including Dell, Fujitsu, Hitachi, Juniper Networks, Lenovo Group, Lockheed Martin and NEC, among others.

The cooperative system provides a training course with Red Hat OpenStack technology as its core, while providing Red Hat OpenStack certification (for delivery of certified technology and products) and the Red Hat Certification solution market.
