HP Helion Rack helps enterprises remove barriers to deploying and managing OpenStack technology-based private clouds

A new pre-configured, pre-tuned and pre-tested private cloud solution, based on OpenStack and Cloud Foundry technologies integrated with HP server hardware, HP Helion Rack is designed to help enterprise IT departments speed their cloud deployments, avoiding months designing, developing and deploying a private cloud, by integrating cloud management software and industry leading infrastructure with best practices.

As enterprise IT departments accelerate to become internal service providers, they face growing pressure to rapidly deliver flexible computing resources that meet their organization’s demanding needs. However, they often lack the resources, infrastructure, skills or investment capacity needed to meet the challenge. This challenge is compounded with the growing recognition that IT must put developers first and offer simple access to a multi-language suite of tools that enable application development and deployment.

HP Helion Rack enables rapid infrastructure provisioning for development and production workloads, is optimized for hosting applications that require secure, compliant and performance tuned infrastructure, and provides a platform for developing, designing and deploying cloud native applications.

HP Helion Rack provides a complete private cloud, with integrated infrastructure-as-a-service (IaaS) and platform-as-a-service (PaaS) capabilities that support cloud native applications. The following are the benefits:

  • Cloud economics for private cloud deployments – Integrated open source cloud software and industry standard hardware accelerate private cloud implementations with a platform designed to provide and optimize towards the cloud economics enterprises demand.
  • Rapid deployment – A factory built solution utilizing best practices and installed onsite by HP experts eliminate months of design, testing and tuning.
  • Simplified management – A common software and hardware platform architecture simplifies support, administration, updates and maintenance.
  • Easy scaling – Easy to scale-out with additional storage and compute nodes and scale up within each node.Workload flexibility – A flexible workload infrastructure enables customers to meet demanding performance requirements for low-latency and high transactions, while managing of security and compliance requirements.
  • Faster cloud-native application development – Easy access to integrated application services, such as database and messaging services, that add scalability and high availability to applications with multiple language and framework support.
  • Open architecture – Based on OpenStack technology and Cloud Foundry software, enabling flexibility in workload hosting, application code, management tools and costs.

HP Helion Rack, including HP Helion OpenStack, HP Helion Development Platform and HP ProLiant DL servers, is built at the HP factory and arrives ready for installation by HP experts. It offers HP partners the opportunity to differentiate themselves by meeting customer needs faster with a proven, complete OpenStack technology private cloud solution that also leverages their HP infrastructure expertise. HP partners also provide a strong ecosystem for customers to leverage for support in onboarding cloud services, scaling out the solution, and operating their cloud solution.
