HP comes up with new cloud computing services

Here comes another announcement on Cloud, this time by HP. Last week IBM announced its new cloud computing services under the brand cloudburst and smart business, targeted at building internal cloud, accessing private clouds and public cloud.
HP's announcement has to do more with services than the hardware. HP announced two services, first being Cloud Discovery Workshop, which helps customers understand cloud computing and what it will take to leverage the technology. The service educates customers about cloud computing, looks at how it fits in their IT service provider strategy, examines best practices, details the opportunities and risks, and shows the results that can be expected.

The second one is Cloud Road Map Service, aimed at helping customers plan for and adopt cloud computing as part of their IT and business strategy. This includes helping customers assess their requirements, understand how the adoption of cloud computing might impact their corporate culture and create a specific road map, including what can be expected and what the timing is.
