With the new HP Cloud Service Automation (CSA) solution, clients can optimize the deployment of applications into public and private cloud to improve efficiency, free up resources, and lower the risks associated with the adoption and management of the cloud. By adopting application-optimized cloud solutions, organizations can launch services faster and improve time to market to support business innovation.

"By adopting strategic initiatives such as cloud, organizations hope to be able to quickly and easily add new functionality as required for greater innovation and competitive advantage," says Cameron Haight, research vice president, Gartner, Inc in Bangalore on Wednesday. "However, prospective users of cloud-based computing need to manage these resources from a life cycle perspective to ensure that related costs and resource utilization do not negatively impact the ROI of the decision."

The HP CSA solution consists of software products and services, as well as third-party integrations, that help clients build a private or public cloud solution, from infrastructure through applications. The solution also automates key IT processes for cloud environments, resulting in one consistent approach to IT resource management regardless of the environment.

HP CSA provides the following key benefits:

-           Faster time to value: accelerate delivery of business services from months to days for greater ability to react to changing business     demands

-           Reduced costs: decrease related time and effort by automating the deployment and management of resources in the cloud;
