HP updates IT automation suite for cloud deployments

May 13, 2013

Further pursuing its strategy to help enterprises move workloads to hosted environments, Hewlett-Packard has updated a number of its IT management tools with more capabilities to work with public and private clouds.The updated software addresses "the new style of IT, where [IT shops] no longer support a monolithic environment in a data center but actually a set of distributed environments," said Jerome Labat, vice president and general manager of cloud automation at HP.While the cloud can simplify many IT duties, "from an operation and management perspective, you still need to deploy and instrument. You still need understand your SLAs [service level agreements]. You still need to ensure the compliance and governance of your workloads," Labat said.To this end, the company has released version 10 of HP Operations Orchestration, version 10 of HP Server Automation and version 10 of HP Database and Middleware Automation 10. The company has also packaged all these software programs, along with the newly updated HP Cloud Service Automation 3.2, in a single integrated package, called the HP CloudSystem Enterprise Starter Suite.To read this article in full or to leave a comment, please click here
