We understand that you may be in a specific stage of your cloud journey. And, you likely have existing investments you need to leverage with your cloud solution.

Because our CloudSystem portfolio offers both integrated solutions and standalone software options, you can choose amongst several on-ramps to your cloud. Now, you can choose the on-ramp that fits your situation. If you want to leverage existing infrastructure and are seeking a quick on-ramp to cloud, we offer two CloudSystem software options.

  With CloudSystem Matrix software you can build an IaaS cloud for virtualized environments within a day. The customer-installable software includes a drag and drop service designer, a self-service portal for IT, automated provisioning and capacity planning. The software runs on all servers supported by VMware and Microsoft Hyper-V, from both HP and other vendors.
  
• Build Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS) and Software-as-a-Service (SaaS)
  With HP Cloud Service Automation (CSA) software you get the industry’s most automated cloud application lifecycle management. You can leverage an open and extensible architecture and obtain a graphical service designer and self-service portal.
  

For customers who have chosen to employ VMware or Microsoft solutions as part of their cloud strategy, HP offers an integrated CloudSystem solution optimized for partner cloud environments.

With autoflexing, CloudSystem automatically allocates your physical infrastructure to VMware vCloud or Microsoft System Center clouds based on demands, reducing the complexity of building and managing clouds.
