HP Introduces Improvements to Growing HP Helion PortfolioHP continues investments in three key cloud innovation ecosystems OpenStack technology, Cloud Foundry and Amazon Web Services
PALO ALTO, Calif., March 3, 2015 HP today announced updates to its HP Helion OpenStack and HP Helion Development Platform solutions, in addition to enhancements to HP Helion Eucalyptus, the leading open source solution for building AWS-compatible private clouds. These updates reflect the ongoing commitment by HP to deliver a growing portfolio of open source hybrid cloud solutions through its investments in three of the fastest growing cloud innovation ecosystems OpenStack and Cloud Foundry based technologies, as well as Amazon Web Services (AWS).
Eucalyptus joins the HP Helion product portfolio
HP Helion Eucalyptus 4.1 marks the first Eucalyptus product release under the Helion brand since acquiring the company in September 2014. Updates to HP Helion Eucalyptus 4.1 include:
AWS Cloud Formation compatible service Application deployment templates that streamline service delivery and reduce errors of complex configurations. By reusing existing AWS Cloud Formation templates, both existing and potential customers can quickly benefit from the new service on their own HP Helion Eucalyptus private cloud.
HP Helion Eucalyptus Cloud Manager Web-based tool now including a simple-to-use interface for managing S3 compatible object storage. Users no longer require separate tools to create, modify and delete buckets, or to upload and download. All features are available within the browser and can be used on both HP Helion Eucalyptus and AWS clouds.
The addition of Eucalyptus to the HP Helion portfolio gives customers the flexibility to deploy existing AWS workloads onto cloud environments they control (private or managed), addressing demand for cost-effective alternatives to public cloud vendor lock-in. HP Helion Eucalyptus is available as a private, managed or hybrid cloud solution to meet a broad range of customer needs.
Open source and open standards are critical requirements for the New Style of IT, said Orlando Bayter, CEO of Ormuco Inc. The massive investment HP is making around OpenStack technology is a strong indication of their seriousness in supporting the project long-term. At Ormuco, we are encouraged by HP's commitment to both upstream contributions and software quality in its distribution. We believe HP Helion can have a significant positive impact in our IT operations as we deliver on our highly scalable cloud platform to our diverse customers in the gaming, media & contact center industries.
