2 Concepts and architecture
CloudSystem provides you with the flexibility of virtualized compute resources, networks, and
storage. With CloudSystem, you configure, manage, and deploy infrastructure services into a
cloud environment for access by your end users.
How it works
Figure 3 illustrates the relationship between CloudSystem Foundation, the Foundation virtual
appliances, CloudSystem Enterprise, and the underlying network infrastructure.
The CloudSystem Foundation base appliance includes a management console GUI and a web-based,
end-user portal that is built on OpenStack Horizon functionality. The base appliance includes the
data store for Glance images that can be used to build the compute virtual machines. The installation
of CloudSystem Foundation also includes the SDN appliance, the network node appliances, and
a vCenter Server proxy appliance.
From within the CloudSystem Console, you can install the Enterprise piece of CloudSystem. Enterprise
provides significant manageability and design tool extensions and cloud-bursting to multiple
providers through the HP CSA Cloud Service Management Console. Access to these services is
provided to end users through the Marketplace Portal. Once you install the Enterprise software,
you can move between Foundation and Enterprise user interfaces to manage, provision, and deploy
cloud services.
