It was designed to demonstrate that cloud computing can thwart any security threat.

"The G-Cloud can automatically respond to a threat, making a calculation of its seriousness and producing the equivalent of white blood cells to counteract it. When the threat has been removed and those resources are no longer required, it goes back to its previous state," said Martin Sadler, director of the cloud and security lab at HP.

The facility can also be a venue where HP can work with customers and partners to develop other services from technologies coming out of the cloud facility.

In the region, HP is doing its own initiative to woo organisations on the merits of cloud computing.
