HP recently opened a cloud laboratory in Bristol, UK, to demonstrate to a particular target market that cloud works with HP solutions.

The cloud demonstration facility, called the G-Cloud Theatre, specifically targets the government and public sector organisations. But HP said it is also expecting queries coming from private companies interested in a demonstration of a secure computer set-up.

HP said the facility was set up to demonstrate that cloud computing works and that organisations can transition to the cloud set-up with minimal disruption in operations and at reduced costs.

The facility features some of HP's latest intellectual property, some of which are under development at HP Labs, the computer company's research arm.
