HP CloudSystem works in converged infrastructure environments and provides a software-defined
approach to managing the cloud. CloudSystem consists of two offerings:
• HP CloudSystem Foundation is based on the HP Cloud OS distribution of OpenStack Cloud
Software. It integrates hardware and software to deliver core Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS)
provisioning and lifecycle management of compute, network and storage resources. You can
manage CloudSystem Foundation from an administrative console, self-service portal, CLIs,
and OpenStack APIs. It provides an appliance-based deployment console to simplify installation
and maintenance, and an embedded version of HP Operations Orchestration (OO) for
automating administrative processes. See CloudSystem Foundation components (page 18) for
more information.

networking, security, and management to automate the lifecycle for hybrid service delivery.
Template architects can use Enterprise to create infrastructure templates and offer them as
services in a Marketplace Portal. Users select services from a catalog and manage their
subscriptions. When a service is requested, Enterprise automatically provisions the servers,
