Bangalore: HP extended its Converged Cloud portfolio to help customers succeed in a hybrid world, providing the essential foundation of solutions to drive agility, speed innovation and lower costs.

The new cloud solutions span private, managed and public cloud environments.

HP CloudSystem and HP Cloud Service Automation (CSA) 3.1, which provide both the foundation and the necessary management platform for fast deployment of cloud services.

HP Continuous Delivery Automation (CDA) 1.1, which fully automates the application release process for cloud applications.

“HP is committed to delivering cloud capabilities that enterprises can rely on,” said Neelam Dhawan, Vice President and General Manager, Enterprise Group and Country Managing Director, HP India. “Today’s announcements enable customers to more affordably and easily take advantage of the agility of the cloud without jeopardizing their enterprise service level agreements.”

HP also introduced a new version of HP CSA, which is available as part of HP CloudSystem or standalone. HP CSA 3.1 provides clients with a comprehensive, unified cloud management platform for brokering and managing enterprise-grade applications and infrastructures specifically for cloud services. This new version ensures business continuity with a highly available architecture that continues to operate even in the event of a failure. In addition, it offers greater protection against security threats with HP TippingPoint security solutions. HP CSA speeds time to market of application services for public, private and hybrid cloud environments.

Competitive pressure is driving enterprises to deploy high-quality applications in less time. The new HP CDA 1.1 fully automates the application release process, enabling clients to deliver high-quality applications by eliminating delays traditionally caused by manual hand-offs between teams during the application life cycle.

HP also introduced HP Cloud Solutions for Communication Service Providers (CSPs), which enable CSPs to build and operate public cloud environments for enterprise, small and midsized business (SMB) customers. By transforming into cloud service brokers, CSPs can profitably build, operate and monetize a cloud infrastructure to accelerate the delivery of new services to their business customers while achieving higher retention rates among subscribers.

The newly enhanced HP Global Product Authentication Service (GPAS) allows brand owners to detect, combat and reduce the incidence of counterfeit goods and activities. The cloud-based protection solution for manufacturers provides real-time authentication features and an intuitive web portal with advanced business intelligence capabilities for product verification as well as fraud incidence tracking.
