HP has introduced a new solution that enables clients to architect their environments for change by accelerating the deployment and management automation of private and public cloud.  

With the new HP Cloud Service Automation (CSA) solution, clients can optimize the deployment of applications into public and private cloud to improve efficiency, free up resources, and lower the risks associated with the adoption and management of the cloud. By adopting application-optimized cloud solutions, organizations can launch services faster and improve time to market to support business innovation. 

The HP CSA solution consists of software products and services, as well as third-party integrations, that help clients build a private or public cloud solution, from infrastructure through applications. The solution also automates key IT processes for cloud environments, resulting in one consistent approach to IT resource management regardless of the environment. 

HP CSA provides some key benefits that include acceleration of delivery of business services from months to days for greater ability to react to changing business     demands, reduction of costs and lowering of risks associated with cloud initiatives by utilizing a proven set of best practices and planning services. 

HP CSA is part of a larger HP Software & Solutions cloud initiative focused on the adoption of cloud services. This initiative draws on the HP IT management software portfolio, combined with consulting services and expertise, to help clients successfully adopt and manage the entire life cycle of the cloud.  

“Businesses are looking at cloud services as a way to architect solutions that can rapidly address change,” said Kamal Dutta, Director, Software and Solutions, HP India. “With HP CSA, we give clients a proven methodology, products and services to realize the full potential of an application-optimized cloud.” The HP CSA solution is available immediately with additional features coming in July 2010.
