The HP open source integrated portfolio (OSIP) is designed to accelerate the adoption of open source software in data centers, and provides customers with a way to deploy a range of open source, commercial and hybrid applications across Linux, Windows, and HP-UX.

HP leveraged its open source engagements with customers to bring standardized, heterogeneous open source offerings to a broader market using an SOA-based approach.

With the introduction of HP OSIP, which includes new HP open source middleware stacks (OSMS), HP aims to provide customers with "single source accountability" for integrated stacks, according to the company.

HP's open source and Linux organization vice president Christine Martino said there is a growing demand for integrated open source and commercial solutions on multiple operating systems, and customers want one trusted source of accountability.

"The HP open source integrated portfolio provides that confidence to companies making open source a part of their overall strategy to be more adaptive in the marketplace," Martino said.
