New solution introduce by HPE for Docker Ecosystem

Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE) has introduced a comprehensive lineup of new solutions built for the Docker ecosystem.

“Containers are changing the way applications are developed and managed, bridging the gap between IT and developers and helping organizations accelerate their pace of innovation. Hewlett Packard Enterprise is embracing and extending Docker capabilities by providing a comprehensive set of enterprise class tools and services to help customers develop, test and run Docker environments at enterprise scale,” said Narayanan Chellappan, Country Director, Cloud Division, Hewlett Packard Enterprise India.
HPE is unveiling a significant portfolio of technologies designed to help organizations leverage Docker to help them transform to a hybrid infrastructure in a highly scalable, secure and trusted manner. The new solutions span cloud, software, storage and services and include:

HPE Helion Development Platform 2.0 with support for Docker – Enables developers and IT operators to deploy micro services, a way of designing applications as independently deployable services, packaged as Docker containers. The HPE Helion Development Platform 2.0 also includes Helion Code Engine, a continuous integration/continuous deployment (CI/CD) service for automating the build, test and deploy workflow for code. This service is merged into a Git repository through a Docker Trusted Registry and the Helion Development Platform.
HPE Storm Runner and HPE App Pulse for Docker – Allows developers and IT operations to test, deploy and monitor Dockerized applications with confidence. HP E’s tools for load testing and application performance monitoring form an application lifecycle management solution for containerized apps and micro-services with full transaction tracing across containerized and traditional back end systems and smart cloud based load testing.
Remote Docker Swarm cluster monitoring with HPE Site scope – Manages and monitors a complete Docker Swarm cluster with HPE Site scope, an agent less application monitoring software solution. An industry first, HPE Sitescope uses a Docker Swarm address to automatically build a cluster map and monitors all five layers of the cluster: Docker Swarm, cluster nodes, Docker daemon, running containers, as well workload specific monitoring.
HPE Codar for Docker – Enables continuous deployment of hybrid workloads, part traditional and part containerized, with a click of a button. HPE Codar gains Dockerfile and image formats support to be incorporated in its visual application designer.
Docker Machine plugin for HPE Composable Infrastructure – Automates the deployment of Docker container hosts from HPE One View, enabling IT and Dev Ops to rapidly provision bare metal infrastructure for Docker environments within an organization’s own data center and on their own secure networks. The plugin leverages the Composable Infrastructure API native to HPE One View.
Persistent storage for Docker containerized apps – Flash-optimized HPE 3PAR Store Serv Storage arrays and the HPE Store Virtual software-defined storage solutions now support the use of Docker stateful containers in OpenStack technology environments via the open source Flocker architecture from Cluster HQ. This architecture allows Docker customers to containerize applications that require persistent storage, such as databases.
Enterprise-grade container support – Delivers expanded support for containers in alignment with HPE’s technology solutions road maps, with a single point of contact for access to a global network of specialists, 24×7.
Docker Reference Architecture – Provides best practices and guidance on how to deploy Docker on Converged Architecture 700 with Helion Cloud System 9.0 for improved performance, scalability and management in large hybrid clouds.
Docker Reference Guide – Provides guidance based on an internal HPE Docker implementation for improving the software development and deployment process using Docker on HPE Blade System to make CI/CD pipelines more efficient.
