Yesterday HP released its first two public cloud computing services for private beta, and they’re based in part on the open-source OpenStack code. The services, are HP Cloud Compute and HP Cloud Object Storage.
HP VP of Cloud Solutions suggests that the new services aim to compete directly with other developer-focused cloud services such as Amazon Web Services and Rackspace, which leads the OpenStack project.
HP is the first major provider other than Rackspace to publicly use OpenStack code in an available offering. Both offerings are based on HP’s hardware and software with key elements of HP Converged Infrastructure and HP Software combined with a developer friendly integration of OpenStack.
HP is not providing further comment at this time. Just launching the services is enough to generate buzz and integrating with OpenStack is sure to generate a lot of interest.
