Live from VMworld 2011, David interviews the distinguished Mr Nigel Cook, HP Cloud System Technical Architect and Designer of the HP Cloud System Matrix. The HP Cloud System Matrix can offer businesses of all sizes Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS). In the video, Nigel talks about what turns a “virtual infrastructure” into a “private cloud”, when you should consider implementing a private cloud, how you can burst your private cloud to a public cloud. Nigel talks about how the HP Cloud Matrix compares to the competitors like VCE Vblock or a NetApp Flexpod. And finally, Nigel responds to admins who may fear that by using a private cloud with self-service, they may lose control of their infrastructure.
For more information on the solutions that Nigel talked about, please visit the HP Cloud System Matrix homepage.
