We choose HP Cloud System
Backbone Connect are establishing themselves as one of the leading providers of cloud enabling solutions in the UK market.
“Cloud enablement is different to most people perception of cloud computing” explains Terry Pullin, Head of Cloud at Backbone Connect “we look for products that we can supply customers so they can have their own cloud computing environment rather than take a hosted service”.
With this strategy Backbone Connect have been evaluating the numerous new developments in the cloud enabling technology space and expect to launch at least 1 new product in its portfolio each month during 2012.
“Providing our customers with efficient solutions inside the datacentre is crucial to us as a large datacentre providers” says David Taylor, Sales Director at Backbone Connect “customers are looking for value from all their providers and with these cloud solutions we have the ability to engage our customers earlier in the process to ensure what they colocate in our datacentres provides a true solution to their business”.
One of the IT industries biggest names Hewlett Packard are also taking a view that cloud computing is not just about hosted services and the functionality cloud hosting providers have available to sell should be available in the enterprise.
The HP cloud system product is targeted at larger corporates who have demanding environments that need to use available compute resource more cleverly and build, deploy and delete server infrastructures quickly and efficiently.
HP Cloud System Matrix sits above any (or a combination of) hypervisor and adds intuitive automation and reporting features for provisioning and reporting.
“Obviously we are pleased we have been able to qualify the HP Cloud System as a suitable solution for our enterprise customers” says Pullin “the big name sits nicely in our existing a future product set of cloud orchestration software and cloud enabled hardware”.
Backbone supply cloud enabling technologies under their YourPrivateCloud brand and work with customers looking to build cloud computing infrastructure in their datacentres.
