Recent presentation to Infosys on HP's cloud capabilities, opportunities to partner, case studies and what HP is doing in Private Cloud to enable partner and business success in the ANZ market.
Let’s now look at how we deliver CloudSystem to clients. These offerings are all based on a single unified architecture that combines hardware, software, and services. This architecture addresses all deployment models (private, public, hybrid) and cloud service models (IaaS, PaaS, SaaS). CloudSystem Matrix is our base offering. It targets clients who are looking to deploy a private cloud with a focus on Infrastructure as a Service. This base configuration is built on our market-leading HP BladeSystem Matrix, which provides the means to create virtual pools of servers, storage and network. We combine Matrix capabilities with our Server Automation and SiteScope products, which provide basic application provisioning, monitoring, patching, and compliance capabilities. For clients looking to deploy a more robust private or hybrid cloud environment, we have our CloudSystem Enterprise edition. This offering, leveraging the capabilities found in CloudSystem Matrix, provides the following advanced capabilities:A single view of all services across private and public cloud environments. These services are accessed from a unified service catalog via a self-service portalAfter service selection, we orchestrate the intelligent selection of resources needed to deliver the services based on business policies (performance, cost, compliance). These could be on-premise resources or off-premise sources, utilizing bursting or bridging capabilities.We then provision the application and infrastructure resources based on the selected resource pools, and provide ongoing monitoring and lifecycle management of the resources. Upon service retirement, we release the resources back into the shared pool. And finally, we have an offering that specifically addresses the requirements of service providers. Building off the capabilities found in the other two offerings, we offer the means for service providers to generate new revenue, decrease time to market, and simplify adoption of new value-added services. Specifically, the SaaS Aggregation Platform serves as a central interaction point where service providers can:Manage their own and third-party SaaS offeringsDefine, price, and expose service offerings to customersIntegrate into existing billing and management systemsDrive revenue management (settlement) with third-party providers and resellers
