Not to be outdone by Dell, HP have openly come out this week and showed support for the rapidly growing open source cloud platform – Openstack. Announced yesterday on HP corporate blog they will be joining and supporting OpenStack.
HP is in a unique position to bring together a portfolio that spans printing, personal computing, software, services and IT infrastructure at the point where cloud and connectivity converge.
HP recognizes that open and interoperable cloud infrastructure and services are critical in delivering the next generation of cloud-based services to developers, businesses and consumers. Over the past year, the OpenStack community has been focused on developing open source software for building private and public clouds. Today, OpenStack has participation from more than 90 organisations with 1200 participants.
HP is taking an active role in the OpenStack community and see this as an opportunity to enable customers, partners and developers with unique infrastructure and development solutions across public, private and hybrid cloud environments.
HP is joining a wide range of tech companies—including such rivals and partners as Citrix Systems, Dell, Intel, Advanced Micro Devices, Cisco Systems, Brocade and Mellanox Technologies—that have signed on to the year-old organisation, whose goal is to create an open and standard cloud environment for both public and private clouds. All the code for OpenStack is available under the Apache 2.0 license.
