In an interview with Open Enterprises, Director of Engineering at Hewlett Packard’s Open Source and Linux Organization, says that the company will invest in new Open Source services to support lifecycle and governance. This is a good example of Enterprise support for open source platforms.
Over the past 6 years, HP has developed internal processes and best practices for open source governance and we’re developing several services offerings from the HP Services Consulting & Integration group.
… we’re continuing to evolve and improve our Insight Control Linux Edition which is a premier solution for managing our industry standard servers and blades. We also have plans underway to develop stronger linkages between our Linux management solutions and our broader OpenView management solutions from HP Software.
