HP's new solution enables clients to architect their environments for change by accelerating the deployment and management automation of private and public cloud. With the new HP Cloud Service Automation (CSA) solution, clients can optimize the deployment of applications into public and private cloud to improve efficiency, free up resources, and lower the risks associated with the adoption and management of the cloud. By adopting application-optimized cloud solutions, organizations can launch services faster and improve time to market to support business innovation.
"Businesses are looking at cloud services as a way to architect solutions that can rapidly address change," said Kamal Dutta, Director, Software and Solutions, HP India. "With HP CSA, we give clients a proven methodology, products and services to realize the full potential of an application-optimized cloud."
The HP CSA solution consists of software products and services, as well as third-party integrations, that help clients build a private or public cloud solution, from infrastructure through applications. The solution also automates key IT processes for cloud environments, resulting in one consistent approach to IT resource management regardless of the environment.
By adopting strategic initiatives such as cloud, organizations hope to be able to quickly and easily add new functionality as required for greater innovation and competitive advantage. "However, prospective users of cloud-based computing need to manage these resources from a life cycle perspective to ensure that related costs and resource utilization do not negatively impact the ROI of the decision," says Cameron Haight, Research Vice-President, Gartner, Inc.
The HP CSA solution is available immediately with additional features coming in July 2010. Kallol Hazra, Director, Application Services - India, HP Enterprises Services, informed that initially the company would be approaching the customers directly. Once the market is ready, the involvement of channel partners would come into scene, which would roughly take four to five months from present.
