Red Hat Cloud, HP Edition

Cloud computing promises a dynamic new vision for IT — with servers, applications, storage and networks instantly available and ready to expand or contract to meet the demands of the moment. Red Hat developed its Cloud portfolio to give IT architects everything needed to build and manage clouds within their own data centers. Running this portfolio on the HP CloudSystem Matrix Converged Infrastructure solution, businesses can expect to dramatically reduce their time to cloud deployment and achieve a lean, economical total cost of cloud platform ownership versus traditional infrastructures.

To guide cloud builders through the process of designing, building and managing an enterprise-grade private cloud, Red Hat and HP have collaborated to jointly deliver Red Hat Cloud, HP Edition. This private cloud design, available from HP and backed by HP and Red Hat's exceptional customer support, includes:

  • Key components of the Red Hat Cloud product set including Red Hat Enterprise Linux, Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization and Red Hat Network Satelllite
  • HP CloudSystem Matrix, the industry's first Converged Infrastructure solution, delivering the benefits of shared services today, and providing an ideal foundation for private cloud deployments
  • Assessment and implementation services and training, provided by HP and Red Hat's service organizations.

In a market full of hype, Red Hat and HP make private clouds real and compelling. Today.
