"We are very pleased to build the next generation of secure cloud computing with HP Cloud Services, and to be the first vendor to manage HP Cloud Security Group policies leveraging the OpenStack API," commented Dave Meizlik, Dome9 VP of Marketing and Business Development, as Dome9 Security announced on Thursday that its cloud security service supports HP Cloud Services.

Under an agreement with HP, Dome9's cloud security service integrates with HP Cloud Services out-of-the-box.  The two services offer integration via an agent or API, for flexibility and ease of use for cloud security.  Customers simply enter their HP Cloud Services API key or install the lightweight Dome9 agent.  Dome9 automatically connects to HP Cloud Services and begins managing the cloud server security, providing policy-based automation to secure an infinite number of servers with highly elastic controls.

HP Cloud Services is HP's initial public cloud infrastructure, platform services and cloud solutions for developers, independent software vendors (ISVs) and businesses of all sizes, enabling organizations to build the next generation of cloud infrastructure.  Built with a developer-friendly integration of OpenStack technology, HP Cloud Services offers a no-vendor lock-in approach that when coupled with Dome9 provides centralized, multi-cloud, dedicated, and virtual private server management across any public, private, and hybrid cloud infrastructure.  With Dome9 automating HP Cloud Services' security, Dome9 secures access to users' cloud servers to prevent attack and keep IT and developers' cloud information protected.  HP Cloud Services customers can sign up for Dome9's subscription service at http://www.dome9.com/HP-Cloud.
