Hewlett-Packard Co. this week stepped up its cloud computing effort by launching a portfolio of private cloud services, hardware and software and indicated plans to jump into public cloud hosting.
The company has lacked a strong cloud computing focus but now intends to move forward more aggressively, HP officials said. HP will do so by offering various private cloud services as well as on-premises hardware and software. Also, the company will offer hybrid clouds by bridging its on- and off-premises cloud offerings. And it will let its partners offer cloud services with its new hardware and software.
