Designed to accelerate the adoption of open source software in data centres, the new HP Open Source Integrated Portfolio (OSIP) is claimed to provide customers with an easy way to deploy a wide range of open source, commercial and hybrid applications across Linux, Windows and HP-UX 11i environments. HP says the new offerings bring standardised, heterogeneous open source offerings to a broader market using an approach based on a service-oriented architecture. “There’s a growing demand for integrated open source and commercial solutions on multiple operating systems, and customers want one trusted source of accountability,” said Christine Martino, vice president, Open Source and Linux Organisation, HP. “The HP Open Source Integrated Portfolio provides that confidence to companies making open source a part of their overall strategy to be more adaptive in the marketplace.” “HP was an early proponent of identifying and supporting layered open source software that complements the Linux operating system. The company’s past efforts have empowered customers to deploy these technologies with confidence,” said Al Gillen, research director, System Software, IDC. “The announcement of the HP Open Source Integrated Portfolio extends the richness and breadth of the company’s open source solutions and delivers a key building block for today’s IT customer.” |
