LAS VEGAS, NV -- (Marketwired) -- 06/12/13 -- HP (NYSE: HPQ) today announced new innovations to its Converged Cloud portfolio, delivering improved agility, greater innovation and reduced cost for hybrid cloud environments.

HP has now delivered the next phase of a common OpenStack®-based architecture for HP's private, managed and public cloud offerings. In addition, the company announced new software and services to accelerate time to market for private cloud implementations, and unveiled new capabilities in HP's managed and public cloud solutions.

"In order for enterprises to deliver the new style of IT, they need control over their data, as well as flexibility in service levels and delivery models for their workloads," said Bill Veghte, chief operations officer, HP. "Only HP has the portfolio and expertise that combines the innovative power of open systems with enterprise-grade manageability and security. The result for customers is a cloud that enterprises can rely on."

The future of cloud is hybrid and open
New research commissioned on behalf of HP(1) reveals that by 2016, it is expected to be a hybrid world with 75 percent of enterprise IT delivered across private, managed and public clouds. Further, half of the respondents believe that open standards are important in the emergence of cloud computing. This indicates that customers want an open, hybrid cloud solution to generate new opportunities, drive competitive differentiation and lower the cost of operations.

HP delivers OpenStack-based common architecture for HP Converged Cloud
HP Cloud OS is an open and extensible cloud technology platform that leverages the power of OpenStack technology to enable workload portability, simplified installation and enhanced life cycle management across hybrid clouds.

HP CloudSystem, HP's industry-leading private cloud offering, already embeds HP Cloud operating system (OS) technology, offering customers greater choice in deployment options. To help customers get started quickly with an initial private cloud deployment, HP also is offering the HP CloudSystem Enterprise Starter Suite. This solution provides a rapid, cost-effective way for organizations to get started with rich application cloud services, and reduces up-front costs by up to 20 percent with the bundled offering.

HP Moonshot servers also will be 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 Professional Services accelerates customers' cloud journey
Forty-three percent of respondents in the HP-commissioned survey said that finding the right strategic partner to get them started was a barrier to cloud adoption. To help guide customers on their cloud journey, HP introduced the HP Converged Cloud Professional Services Suite.
