Business users recognize cloud advantages that help speed innovation, accelerate business processes, and reduce time to revenue. Frequently, these users turn to public cloud services for the solutions they need. In fact, a Forrester study found that business is adopting cloud 2.5 times faster than is IT operations.1 IT directors, faced with the challenges associated with the rush to cloud-based services, are concerned: how can IT maintain adequate security, ensure service levels, integrate cloud-based services with existing traditional IT systems, and provide governance across the entire IT value chain? In addition, IT directors want to be sure that the decisions they make today about cloud technology suppliers don’t prevent them from innovating in the future. At the same time, IT departments are under tremendous pressure to keep pace with business demand. While IT infrastructure has made significant advances in performance and availability, the effort to meet increasing business demands has frequently led to “IT sprawl.” Computing resources proliferate, but remain underutilized and too hardwired to redeploy easily when business needs change. IT increasingly employs virtualization and automation to improve the flexibility and increase utilization of computing resources. However, this course has not yet eliminated the issues of over-provisioning and complexity. Too frequently, IT resources are dedicated to a particular application or business unit and any excess capacity remains unavailable for other uses. IT continues to be hampered in its ability to focus its resources on strategic objectives and driving innovation, resulting in slow time to revenue and lost opportunity. IT departments are evolving from the role of sole supplier to becoming both builder and broker of IT services. As such, IT must build its capability as an internal service provider that matches the transparency and flexibility of externally available services, as well as be able to source and consume services from a network of trusted suppliers. HP offers you a path to providing secure, predictable cloud-based services through Converged Infrastructure. Your IT staff can consolidate physical and virtual server, storage, and network assets into pools of virtualized resources. These resource pools can host sets of infrastructure services, which typically map to application services, including complex multitier, multi-node applications. IT personnel can flexibly provision and re-provision services, and can confidently optimize the underlying resources for performance, resiliency, and efficiency. HP Converged Infrastructure technologies are at the core of the HP CloudSystem portfolio: a comprehensive, integrated, and open solution that provides IT with a unified way to provision and manage services across private, managed, and public clouds. HP CloudSystem equips you to respond to customers or business units faster, more predictably, more efficiently, and with lowered costs. HP CloudSystem offerings provide a range of services as well as an avenue for growth and expansion. As shown in Figure 1, HP CloudSystem has three integrated offerings. • HP CloudSystem Matrix: Enables you to deliver infrastructure as a service (IaaS) and provisions infrastructure and basic applications in minutes. • HP CloudSystem Enterprise: For those looking to deploy private and hybrid cloud environments and the full range of service models (IaaS, platform as a service (PaaS), and software as a service (SaaS). This offering provides a single service view of your environments, from private cloud to public clouds to traditional IT, with advanced application-to-infrastructure lifecycle management. • HP CloudSystem Service Provider: Public or hosted private cloud designed for service providers to provide a public cloud IaaS and SaaS, including aggregation and management of those services. 1 Forrester Research, Inc., Ignoring Cloud Risks A Growing Gap Between I&O And The Business, March 24, 2011 2 Figure 1: Three integrated HP CloudSystem offerings for a full range of cloud capabilities This whitepaper describes the HP CloudSystem Matrix solution, with a focus on how it delivers IaaS. The document is intended for IT directors, IT architects, solution architects, and other readers who are familiar with current HP BladeSystem offerings and existing server virtualization technology. The content should assist you in understanding how HP CloudSystem Matrix can benefit your IT environments with more flexible, efficient use of physical and virtual IT resources. The paper begins with a discussion of key architectural and operational concepts and then highlights the key enabling technologies; it concludes with a brief overview of the purchase and implementation process, including available services. Overview: HP CloudSystem Matrix HP CloudSystem Matrix is an IaaS solution for private and hybrid cloud deployments, built on proven HP Converged Infrastructure technologies, such as HP BladeSystem, Matrix Operating Environment and Cloud Service Automation for Matrix. HP CloudSystem Matrix allows you to: • Provision infrastructure and applications in minutes for physical and virtual environments. • Reduce TCO up to 56%2 with built-in infrastructure life-cycle management. • Integrate heterogeneous environments into your IaaS infrastructure. HP Cloud Maps accelerate automation of cloud service deployments and ensure consistency and reliability of the implementation of infrastructure service catalogs.

    HP CLOUDSYSTEM An integrated platform for private, public, and hybrid clouds The industry’s most complete cloud system for enterprises and service providers Solution brief It’s a fact of life: cloud computing is hot. And when it comes to the use of cloud services, business today is actually outpacing IT. Business users have been quick to recognize the cloud’s advantages in speeding innovation, accelerating business processes, and reducing time to revenue. They’re clamoring for greater cloud access, and in some cases even bypassing IT and signing up for public cloud services like those from Amazon and Microsoft®. But enterprises and service providers have been slower to adopt cloud solutions because of well- founded concerns about security, management, and efficiency. They’re uneasy about trying to manage private and public clouds with traditional in-house IT environments. They worry about application choice, security, and agility. They agonize over the potential for fragmentation and inefficiency stemming from piecemeal and ad hoc adoption of cloud “puzzle pieces.” And in particular, they lament the lack of a comprehensive, integrated cloud solution. Yet even while CIOs need to ensure security and maintain service levels, they face mounting pressure to accelerate service delivery, enhance business agility, and improve financial flexibility. They’re also eager to shift the budget away from capital expense and toward operating expense. They know cloud solutions can help them accomplish these goals, to be sure. But it will have to be the right cloud solution. Like other businesses, service providers are eager to accelerate innovation and slash time to revenue.

  • The Availability Digest
    the Availability Digest www.availabilitydigest.com HP CloudSystem February 2012 The cloud is today’s technical darling. By moving applications to the cloud, organizations can eliminate capital expenditures, reduce operating costs, and deploy applications rapidly. Compute, storage, and network capacity can be provisioned as needed; and a company pays only for what it uses. We have described one of the leading cloud providers in our article Amazon Availability Zones.1 However, given all of the obvious advantages of cloud computing, companies are slow in moving to the cloud. Serious issues remain concerning security, availability, and governance - the control required to conform to corporate policies. Nevertheless, a recent study by Forrester Research, Inc., found that employees of many companies are moving some applications and data to the cloud without management or IT department approval. Forrester indicates that such surreptitious use of the cloud is five times greater than what IT thinks. There are three fundamental types of clouds – private, public, and hybrid. A private cloud is owned and operated by a company for its own purposes. A public cloud is provided by a cloud service provider for use by any of its subscribers on a pay-for-usage basis. A hybrid cloud is a private cloud that can reach into a public cloud for additional capacity or services. Many of the advantages of cloud computing can be achieved by a company with its own private cloud, thus addressing the concerns surrounding public cloud computing. In fact, if a company (as many are) is well on its way to using virtualization to consolidate its data-center assets, it is not a great step forward to extend its infrastructure to its own private cloud.
