HP Announced a new portfolio designed specifically for the needs of service providers to create differentiated services, increase speed and agility, and drive business growth.
According to IDC, a majority of organizations will stop managing their own infrastructure over the next five years. Instead, these organizations will make greater use of dedicated and shared cloud offerings in service provider data centers.1 To capitalize on these changes, service providers – software-as-a-service, infrastructure-as-a-service, telco/communication service providers, managed hosters, and consumer service providers – need an efficient infrastructure that is highly scalable and supports business growth.
They also need flexible business models that better align costs to revenue. Additionally, they need to be able to address customer’s increasing expectations for service level agreements.
HP’s new workload-optimized solutions, flexible business models and partnerships help service providers launch differentiated services faster in the market and stay competitive.
“Service providers must adjust to meet ever-increasing customer demands for simplicity, security and availability – they can no longer compete on cost alone,” said Vikram K, Director, Servers, HP India. “HP is delivering systems, built on open-design principles, combined with services and solutions that allow service providers to move fast, launch new services and grow their business in a sustainable way.”
HP Helion OpenStack provides an open, extensible and highly resilient enterprise-grade cloud platform based on OpenStack technology, the leading open source cloud computing platform, which complements the architectural design and benefits of HP Cloudline.
These servers supplement the recently announced HP Altoline of open network switches that are produced by a joint venture between HP and Accton Technology. The HP Altoline switches are loaded with Open Network Install Environment (ONIE) boot loader giving customers the option of using Cumulus Networks Linux network OS. The new HP Altoline switches are designed to provide service providers and web scale organizations more flexibility and control in tuning their networking infrastructure to meet the specific applications and business requirements.
The industries we serve – including regulated industries like financial services and life sciences – require secure collaboration solutions that make it safe and easy to share valuable information anywhere, on any device,” said Ron Hovsepian, Intralinks CEO. “HP’s leadership in cloud with HP Helion and service provider ready solutions gives us yet another strategic advantage in delivering world-class, secure content collaboration solutions to enterprises worldwide.”
Increase speed and agility
To increase speed and agility, HP provides flexible business models for “pay-as-you-grow” financing and tailored support and services.
Grow the business
Through the HP PartnerOne Service Provider program, service providers around the world deliver hosting, managed and cloud-based services that meet the most stringent business needs. HP and partners share product roadmaps, jointly plan solutions, collaborate on a technical level, and implement joint go-to-market plans. As a result, they can offer more streamlined and integrated offerings to help grow the business.
“Upon joining the HP PartnerOne Service Provider Program, we have seen our relationship with HP develop into a true partnership,” said Michael Heuberger, CEO, Freudenberg IT Americas. “The program has extended our sales reach by leveraging the HP sales force and marketing assets, which has grown our brand and market awareness.”
Pricing and availability
These servers are orderable only at rack-scale with the exact quantity dependent on the customer. Availability for the HP service provider ready solutions varies. The HP Service Provider Growth Suite is available now globally. HP Datacenter Care for Service Providers and HP Flexible Capacity are available now.
