Sander Thonissen, director of EMEA service provider and hosting at HP delivering presentation
(WEB HOST INDUSTRY REVIEW) –- The first afternoon session in the Sanssouci room came from Sander Thonissen, director of EMEA service provider and hosting at HP.
Delivering a presentation titled “2011: The Year the Cloud Gets Real”, Thonissen discussed 2011 as the year of exciting changes.
He said these changes will be driven by three major factors, including technology being ready to deliver, the rapidly increasing and diversifying amount of service providers, and the willingness to adopt cloud services in SMB and enterprise.
Taking its part in these changes, Thonissen says that HP will offer an infrastructure porfolio, flexible sourcing models, HP service provider program, and access to new customers.
Next up, Glenn Keels, director of worldwide service provider and hosting business discussed the advantages HP solutions offers for service providers.
This causes a shift of resouces to innovation that simplify operations, scale performance, and provision instantly.
By delivering converged infrastructure for service providers, HP offers purpose-build solutions for scale, holistic energy efficiency, modular and adaptable solutions, and experience and expertise.
Keels said the strategic role of the CIO is changing, requiring him to be the builder and broker of services. This is the result of a changing environment, as the industry moves towards an instant-on enterprise.
He said that a hybrid cloud delivery is the only way to adapt to this shift to address these enterprise needs.
HP’s complete solutions for hybrid delivery includes Cloud Discovery Workshop, CloudSystem, Cloud Service Automation, and Enterprise Cloud Service Compute, says Keels.
