HP Opens Public Cloud

For months, we’ve heard the rumblings about HP’s public cloud. Insiders have been offering invites.  HP’s intentions have been no secret,  but now it is official. The HP Public cloud will open to the public on May 10.

The go is part of HP’s intent to be a public cloud services provider and walk down the aisle that with its private and hybrid cloud strategies.

The HP Public Cloud is similar to Amazon Web Services in some respects but the difference is in HP’s thought of how the traditional enterprise fits into the model. Aspects of it are built on OpenStack.

HP’s real intent here is to walk down the aisle traditional on-premise infrastructure with a public cloud. That’s where the services come into play. HP’s Pete Karloczak said in an interview last week that it will offer the traditional outsourcing services for long term, managed contracts. It will also offer a self-service model with server management.  On top of its  infrastructure offering, HP is adding messaging and collaboration through its partnership with Microsoft and Office 365. It will eventually grant voice over IP and managed mobility. From there, it plans to layer discovery services and archiving.
