Connected: HP says cloud computing is important to instant-on enterprises

HP has unveiled a suite of products and services aimed at enabling businesses and governments to leverage the power of the cloud while ensuring they meet required levels of security, performance and availability.

HP points out that cloud computing is an important and growing platform for instant-on enterprises, where everything and everyone is connected. These IOEs require IT environments that are flexible, automated and secure, and able to adjust quickly to changing demand.

While cloud computing delivers benefits such as faster deployment of new services, reduction in IT headcount and a pay-as-you-go model, it has traditionally lacked in areas that enterprises need, such as security, availability and ease of integration.

The new HP Hybrid Delivery solutions provide the benefits of enterprise-grade cloud computing, while meeting the specific needs of businesses and governments.

“Cloud computing is going mainstream and HP is leading the way,” said the firm’s Ann Livermore. “HP has the enterprise experience, breadth of portfolio and global service delivery organisation to lead our clients through this transformation.”

HP Cloud Discovery Workshop helps users develop smart strategies and the optimal path for leveraging the cloud. The one- or two-day workshops provide multiple modules covering business model implications, security and identifying the right services for the cloud, and more. The workshops are led by seasoned HP professionals with experience and expertise in global cloud deployments.
