HP, Intel, and Enomaly Team-Up For Cloud Provider Platform.   Hewlett-Packard, Intel, and cloud software maker Enomaly have partnered together to offer a  Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS) platform for cloud service providers, marking the first time HP is going after the solution provider segment in the cloud.

This new cloud platform is targeted at hosting firms and Internet data center providers. The partnership gives service providers the ability to deliver timely, comprehensive services to customers leveraging products from each member, the companies said.

The combination of products gives service providers, whether they offer shared hosting, dedicated hosting, virtual and cloud hosting, or managed services, the ability to offer new services to customers, Cohen said.  The solution also enables cloud providers to lower the costs by increasing the density of sites per server; increase average revenue per user by offering more hosted services and/or up-sell additional services; increase predictability of capacity planning for the service and understand the relationship of capacity to service level performance; and automate the user experience and empower end users.

Cohen said the ultimate goal of the pairing is to give providers and partners new cloud-based revenue opportunities, as opposed to providers building cloud solutions themselves which can be an expensive, lengthy and arduous process.  “High costs and long ROIs don’t really sell well to service providers,” he said.
