Helion

HP has signed an agreement with Beijing UnionRead Information Technology, a content distribution network service provider and hybrid cloud operator, to build and operate community clouds for enterprise customers in China. A community cloud offers an infrastructure that is shared between multiple organizations with common interests, for example, vertical industries or geographies that have similar security, privacy, performance and compliance requirements.

“Community clouds will become increasingly prevalent in China as communities of interest, such as an automotive supply chain or a city government,” said Martin Fink, executive vice president and chief technology officer, HP.
