Application Transformation to Cloud Services creates a custom cloud environment, while Cloud Service Automation 2.0 helps users provision cloud services. Application Transformation Services for Client Computing helps users find computers running outdated versions of Windows.
HP Fortify Real-Time Hybrid Analysis looks for security vulnerabilities. Finally, Enterprise Cloud Services for Microsoft Dynamic CRM runs Microsoft's CRM suite in HP's cloud.
Jim Duggan, VP focusing on application development for the Gartner analyst firm, says that users need to be aware that, while HP will bring some practices and framework, much of the work and organizational change will still need to be internal to the company. Comparing it to a personal trainer, HP won't know the user's business in detail, or its organizational history and politics, and will need to discover that detail buried in the user organization by leading it through the steps--in the hopes of positioning itself as the best source for project execution once the user organization reaches the implementation stage, Duggan says.
HP Fortify Real-Time Hybrid Analysis costs $10,000 per server for existing HP WebInspect and HPFortify 360 users. HP Applications Transformation to Cloud Services is available as an assessment pack for up to 50 applications for $28,500. HP Cloud Service Automation starts at $35,000. HP declined to reveal pricing information for the other products and services.
