Running an IT department means overseeing numerous parts — from servers to network to application development.

Hewlett-Packard Co. has assembled a cluster of solutions it believes can build what it dubs the Orchestrated Datacenter to meet infrastructure and application delivery requirements.

The company said this week the suites — a mix of new and existing software to be released next month — are an automation and cloud-management solution that helps businesses optimize data centre operations.

This includes orchestrating the full stack—from  physical, virtual servers, networks, storage and databases to the middleware and the application layer—and automating end-to-end IT workflows across the service desk, monitoring and security operations, HP said.

IT teams can design, customize and deploy these services securely in test and production, as well as across traditional, private and public cloud environments.

“IT organizations must sharpen their focus from just managing  servers and infrastructure to orchestrating the delivery of end to end services and applications that help differentiate businesses in the market,” HP’s Ajay Singh, senior vice-president and general manager of IT Operations Management, Software, said in a statement “The Orchestrated Datacenter empowers customers to orchestrate across the entire operations cycle ensuring timely delivery of infrastructure and application services with consistency, compliance and reliability.”
