HP Helion cloud computing platform
HP Helion is a cloud computing platform that provides an integrated infrastructure platform offering private, public and hybrid cloud services. HP Helion is designed to provide clients with the ability to choose the deployment environment that fits their specific needs. The platform is based on OpenStack architecture, providing access to a broad ecosystem of open source cloud technologies that can be deployed natively or through orchestration with other vendors’ products.
With HP Helion, clients have access to a host of cloud services including compute, storage, networking, security, database, backup, and disaster recovery. The platform provides a wide range of cloud deployment models to suit the needs of different organizations. These models include Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS), Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS), and Software-as-a-Service (SaaS). HP Helion provides the necessary tools to create, customize, and manage cloud applications, and it also supports the development of applications running on the cloud.
HP Helion is available in three different versions: Helion OpenStack, Helion Development Platform, and Helion CloudSystem. Helion OpenStack is a cloud infrastructure platform that allows users to build and manage public, private, and hybrid cloud environments. Helion Development Platform is a Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS) offering that provides a way to develop, deploy, and manage applications in the cloud. Helion CloudSystem is a comprehensive hybrid cloud management platform that allows users to manage multiple cloud environments from a single location.
One of the key features of HP Helion is its ability to support hybrid cloud deployments. Clients can use the platform to manage multiple clouds, including private, public, and managed clouds. This provides a high level of flexibility for organizations that have different requirements for different applications. As an example, organizations can deploy mission-critical applications on a private cloud while using a public cloud to run less critical applications.
Another feature of HP Helion is its support for multiple languages and frameworks. The platform provides support for Java, Ruby, PHP, Python, and other languages used by developers. Additionally, it provides support for popular frameworks such as Spring, Django, Ruby on Rails, and others. This enables developers to continue using their preferred development tools while deploying their applications on the cloud.
Another advantage of HP Helion is its security and compliance features. The platform provides advanced security and compliance capabilities, including encryption, secure access, audit trails, and regulatory compliance features.
