HP CloudStart: Fast track private clouds

HP CloudStart is an all-in-one solution for deploying an open and flexible private cloud environment within 30 days.

Consisting of hardware, software and services, HP CloudStart empowers businesses to deliver pay-per-use services reliably and securely from a common portal, and it offers the ability to scale and deploy new services automatically. Real-time access to consumption and chargeback reports allows clients to operate their private clouds in the same fashion as a public cloud.

With HP’s open architecture approach, clients are able to integrate their private clouds with third-party enterprise portals, public cloud services, usage billing packages and multiplatform resource management.

Benefits include:

• Seventy-five percent reduction in compliance-management time through advanced automation and governance functionality
• Improved business response time to changing market demands by delivering technology services on an as-needed basis rather than through a dedicated system
• Simplified addition and management of pools of network, storage and server resources, including enhanced data services such as unified provisioning and disaster recovery on HP storage
• Best-practice guidance from HP Services, which provides expertise in deploying, customizing and executing on the long-term vision for creating a private cloud that is tuned specifically for the client’s environment.
