HP Government Secure Cloud Services is a dedicated community cloud or G-cloud environment

HP Enterprise Service has launched its Government Secure Cloud Services offering agencies adjustable secure processing capacities that meet their specific requirements.
Data will be held onshore in a certified datacentre environment and accessed via a certified secure government gateway, to comply with Australian government data sovereignty and security laws.
The HP Government Secure Cloud Services is a dedicated community cloud or G-cloud environment that allows government agencies to use technology as required without a large capital expense outlay.

Its features include: a secure processing capacity, delivery by HP Enterprise Services through a Defence Signals Directorate-certified secure gateway and hosted on infrastructure from a Whole of Government datacentre panel provider, availability of server, storage, network and security resources, applications that support critical business functions and HP Converged Infrastructure technology and tools.
HP South-Pacific vice-president of enterprise solutions, Alan Bennett, said, “Government Secure Cloud Services drives a mentality in a series of events which cause interaction with government, which cross the boundaries of the different systems. There is also conversation around the NBN and what that will enable.”

“In the government and financial services sectors, we see data sovereignty, service level agreements, the ability to negotiate contracts, network security and the robustness of the value proposition come up time and time again,” Ovum research director of government practice, Kevin Noonan, said.
He suggested agencies adopt a flexible and cost-effective IT service delivery model to speed implementation time and improve the quality and responsiveness of citizen services without the need for significant new resources.
Ovum expects to see consumption-based and shared delivery models gaining momentum within government agencies, addressing privacy and security are key issues, he said.
HP aims to enable federal or state government agencies to transition from supporting and exploring the cloud to enabling a full range of secure apps and integration.
The company will soon be able to deploy the infrastructure, which will vary from agency to agency and will continue to build up the system over the next three years.

HP has released the fifth version of the Vertica data analytics software platform

HP has released the fifth version of the Vertica data analytics software platform, and has confirmed that an integrated hardware platform to support it would be out shortly.
Vertica 5.0 is the first upgrade since HP bought the firm in February and has been designed to allow much faster scaling up and down of computing power, using a mix of cloud, virtual and physical resources. Advanced native SQL analytic functions have been added and the platform is now capable analyzing more than a petabyte of data from customers.
Earlier this month HP showed off its Vertica Analytics System appliance, which the company says will provide the hardware capabilities to allow enterprises to run their own data analysis feeds in real-time.
"It's fair to say that HP is a little late to the massive data analytics party," Charles King, principal analyst for research firm Pund-IT told V3.co.uk.
"Vertica was an acquisition HP needed to make, to let customers know they were competitive in this market. This announcement, and HP's recent actions, are clearly a sign it wants to stay competitive in this space."
He pointed out that EMC has been moving forward very aggressively with developing its offering, since acquiring Greenplum last year, and Intel's Pat Gelsinger and others are committed to mastering the massive parallel analytics sector and integrating it with VMware.
Meanwhile IBM's Netezza system, and Big Blue's Big Data plan, is a more complete offering than anything HP can offer at the moment he said. Oracle, formerly close to HP, are also pushing ahead in the field.

For the first time HP is including a software development kit (SDK) for Vertica, so that the company's 350 customers can develop their own code and adapt some existing applications.
"Our new SDK empowers users, developers and partners to create custom analytics that can be called via a standard SQL query, taking full advantage of the performance and scalability of the Massively Parallel Processing columnar Vertica Analytics Platform," said Shilpa Lawande, vice president of engineering at Vertica.
King said HP's release of the SDK was a smart move, but that its take-up would also provide an interesting guide to how active the company's customers were on the platform.

HP's marketing department may have gotten way ahead

Hewlett-Packard apparently believes there is still room for another player in the cloud music space.

HP is in conversations with the major record labels about launching its own digital music locker service, which would offer music, movies and TV shows, according to Billboard magazine. Speculation that HP had plans for a cloud service has been heating up since Precentral.net reported in April that a confidential PowerPoint presentation about the forthcoming TouchPad mentioned a previously undiscussed HP Music Store and HP Movie Store.

HP's marketing department may have gotten way ahead of the negotiators this time; sources said the discussions are still in the very early stages.

Despite having to follow heavyweights Apple, Amazon, and Google into the cloud, HP has been dabbling in the music business for the better part of the past decade.

• In 2001, HP released a digital-music/computing appliance called the HP Digital Entertainment Center de100c that allowed consumers to download music from the Internet and play it on a home stereo.

• In 2004, HP partnered with Starbucks to launch a new music-centric coffee store in which customers would be able to create their own music compilations from a digital library and burn them to CDs.

• In 2009, HP teamed up with hip-hop impresario Dr. Dre on Beats Audio, a premium line of laptops, headsets, and software designed to reverse the drop-off in sound quality brought on by the onset of digital music.

• In early 2010, HP partnered with Ominfone to distribute the U.K. music provider's MusicStation service on PCs sold in Europe. The service boasted unlimited access to more than 6.5 million DRM-protected music tracks from the four major recording labels.

HP began laying the groundwork for a cloud music service since June 2010, when it acquired Melodeo, a start-up that specializes in music applications and services for mobile devices. At the time, the Seattle-based company was working on an app called Nutsie that would run on several mobile platforms and give users a way to wirelessly transmit music from the iTunes library on their computer to a mobile device.

HP has already hinted at such a service, when marketing materials for their TouchPad tablet included talk of an HP store for music and movies. Like Amazon and Google’s current offerings, HP plans to stream content to users, though they also have goals of streaming content that users don’t already own, something none of the current locker services have been able to offer.

But there’s a reason those services don’t currently offer such a feature, and much of it likely lies with the labels. HP’s talks with the labels are still in the early stages, and they certainly don’t carry the same rapport with said labels as Apple does. It remains to be seen if they can succeed where others have failed.

HP has a long history of testing the waters of the digital music market without making any serious splash. They solicited partners in 2008 with the intention of building a music service. And they partnered with Starbucks a few years before on a program that ultimately proved unprofitable.

While no one doubts HP’s vast resources–which could certainly enable them to put a serious competitor on the market—what is in doubt is whether they can release a compelling product or just another also-ran. The window remains open, as Amazon, Google and Apple’s services all appear to be in their infancy. Were HP to beat them to market with a true all-you-can-eat streaming option for cloud music consumption, it could be a major coup for both the company and the labels.
