HP’s Helion CloudSystem 9.0 added support for multiple hypervisors and clouds and is integrated with Helion OpenStack and the Development Platform.
The company included support for AWS, Azure, Helion Public Cloud, OpenStack technology and VMware.
The additional hypervisor support is now extended to Microsoft Hyper-V, Red Hat KVM, VMware and vSphere as well as bare metal deployments, the purpose of this is to help avoid vendor lock-in.
Additional support has been added for AWS compatible clouds through Eucalyptus while the company has also added support for unstructured data through the Swift Object Storage project.
CloudSystem is an integrated, end-to-end, private cloud solution designed to enable automation, orchestration and control across multiple workloads and technologies.
Bill Hilf, SVP, HP Helion Product and Service Management, said: "Enterprise customers have a range of needs in moving to the cloud — some need to cloud-enable traditional workloads, while others seek to build next generation ‘cloud native’ apps using modern technologies like OpenStack, Cloud Foundry and Docker."
"The expanded support for multiple hypervisors and cloud environments in HP Helion CloudSystem 9.0 gives enterprises and service providers added flexibility to gain cloud benefits for their existing and new applications."
