HP enhances automation software

HP has given its Business Service Automation (BSA) suite an upgrade with new application deployment capabilities, improved risk management and greater efficiency.

The solution is designed for businesses using hybrid IT systems - including physical, virtual and cloud computing platforms - enabling them to fully integrate the management of their server, network, storage and applications.

BSA includes HP Server Automation 9.0, Network Automation 9.0, Operations Orchestration 9.0, Client Automation 7.9 and Storage Essentials 6.3.

The Server Automation programme aids faster, easier deployment of applications and comes with new ADM functionality, while Network Automation is designed to help reduce costs, mitigate risk and improve network efficiency.

Client Automation 7.9 has a new extensible management framework and provides a single tool for managing physical and virtual environments.

Erik Frieberg, vice president for marketing, software and solutions, said: "Clients can achieve up to 382 percent return on investment by deploying HP's leading automation software and leverage the benefits of new hybrid delivery models."
