HP announced new products, services and programs to help customers simplify and accelerate the adoption of Linux and open source in the data center.
Introduced at the LinuxWorld Conference & Expo, the offerings include four new Linux Expertise Centers for independent software vendors and extended services for customers in HP Solution Centers worldwide.
To help customers more easily deploy a reliable and secure open source environment, HP introduced the following technologies:
More than 200 open source packages on HP Integrity NonStop servers, including Apache Web Server, Jabber, Samba, Zope and more. The company has also augmented some open source material
to utilize the HP Integrity NonStop fundamentals to deliver the highest levels of fault tolerance, scalability and data integrity. HP intends to deliver more than 300 additional open source packages on HP Integrity NonStop servers in the near future.
HP Virus Throttle for Linux, a security technology that works without the need for specific knowledge of a virus itself and without any business interruption. Virus Throttle is expected to be available in the HP ProLiant Essentials Intelligent Networking Pack - Linux Edition in September.
HP ProLiant Essentials Rapid Deployment Pack Linux Edition version 1.30, a software option for HP ProLiant servers that automates the process of deploying and provisioning server software on Linux-based servers. The new version adds support for the latest hardware and is expected to be available in September.
HP continues to deliver higher levels of enterprise scalability for Linux by offering more choice of viable options on entry-level and high-end, standards-based HP servers. Based on 78 entry-level HP Integrity rx1620 servers, HP has recently installed a 1-teraflop Linux cluster at the Tata Institute of Fundamental Research in India.
HP, in partnership with SimDesk Technologies, will now jointly deliver the industry's first integrated open source solution for population- and community-based computing. The solution uses an innovative hybrid architecture featuring HP Integrity NonStop and Linux servers to ensure maximum availability and scalability and eliminates the need for resource-intensive client-server technology. With this solution, governments and community organizations can offer cost-effective messaging, file, print and groupware services to their constituents and community members to help achieve their economic development goals.
