HP is launching a new all-in-one solution that promises the deployment of a private cloud environment. The tech giant has unveiled HP CloudStart, a speedy private cloud deployment offering that comprises hardware, software and services to build and deploy a private cloud within 30 days.
"With CloudStart, HP is enabling clients to optimize applications for private cloud computing today, while providing a platform for a comprehensive, open and hybrid environment in the future," said Gary M. Budzinski, Senior Vice-President & General Manager, Technology Services, HP.
HP CloudStart gives users the ability to deliver pay-per-use services reliably and securely from a common portal and the ability to scale and deploy new services automatically. Real-time access to consumption and chargeback reports allows clients to operate their private clouds in the same fashion as a public cloud.
The CloudStart backbone leverages HP BladeSystem Matrix, enhanced with HP Cloud Service Automation software and data service by HP StorageWorks. Expected to be available globally in December, HP CloudStart is said to be available now in Asia-Pacific and Japan.
Along with HP CloudStart, HP has also unveiled Cloud Maps, a navigation systems that contain engineering elements like templates, workflows, deployment scripts, sizers and whitepapers for use with solutions from VMware, SAP, Oracle and Microsoft to speed deployment and reduce risk.
