The extension of the Helion Network will now give enterprises in Asia Pacific and Japan access to an ecosystem of cloud partners and service providers who offer a portfolio of open source hybrid cloud solutions for a wide range of customer requirements and applications. These include workload migrations from traditional IT to the cloud, cloud native and DevOps platforms, data sovereignty, private to public cloud or the deployment of customized cloud offerings like multitenant cloud, enterprise data drives, and content-as-a-service.

HP, to enable a focused, skilled and enabled partner ecosystem, is providing its Helion Network partners with a number of benefits including dedicated training, workshops, hands-on sessions, and collaborative sales and marketing programs. HP also provides flexible IT investment and consumption models with HP Financial Services to help cloud partners design and deliver the right cloud solutions for customers, while accelerating their cloud transformation strategy.

“We are at a stage in the business where businesses in India are transforming how they deliver products and services, with many of our customers migrating workloads to the cloud. If we were unable to adapt to this trend, it would have been a threat to our survival as a business,” said R S Shanbhag, founder, chairman and managing director at Valuepoint Group.

  “The expertise of the HP team, together with its Helion Platform, has enabled us to build a range of cloud service offerings around OpenStack for our customers, helping us turn a possible threat into new opportunities for our company’s bigger future.”

Some of the 50 cloud leaders include Triforce, Oriel and Klikon in Australia, Valuepoint Group, PC Solutions and Shro Systems in India, and Asys, Eden T&S and BayNex in Korea.
