22 About CloudSystem Enterprise
HP CloudSystem Enterprise expands on CloudSystem Foundation to automate the integration of
servers, storage, networking, security, and monitoring capabilities throughout the infrastructure
service delivery lifecycle of a virtualized data center. Through the addition of HP CSA, Enterprise
offers additional design tools and provider integration, and with the Marketplace Portal, users
have secure access to these services.
About the Enterprise appliance
Enterprise and Foundation are separate virtual appliances. However, all appliance management
tasks are performed through the Foundation CloudSystem Console and all OpenStack functionality
included in Foundation is available to Enterprise. See also Manage the Foundation appliances
(page 46).
To account for the operation of the Foundation software underlying Enterprise, consider the maximum
supported configuration for Foundation appliance when planning an Enterprise cloud. See Maximum
supported configuration values for each CloudSystem (page 71).
HP CSA maps user roles through membership in LDAP groups configured through the LDAP service
for the organization. HP CSA does not directly manage the creation or maintenance of individual
users. As the HP CSA administrator creates organizations within HP CSA, the corresponding LDAP
group membership must exist or be created.
When users log in, LDAP authenticates login credentials and verifies the appropriate role through
group membership. LDAP directories must be pre-configured for the access process to function
correctly in HP CSA.
See also Logging in and changing the default HP CSA and Marketplace Portal password (page 128).
Enterprise in the cloud
The Enterprise appliance contains the following components:
• HP Cloud Service Automation (HP CSA) and its user interface the Cloud Service Management
Console orchestrate the deployment of compute and infrastructure resources and complex
multi-tier application architectures. HP CSA integrates and leverages the strengths of several
HP data center management and automation products, adding resource management, service
offering design, and a customer portal to create a comprehensive service automation solution.
The HP CSA lifecycle framework, and its features for leveraging resources, help you map
cloud fulfillment infrastructure into reusable automated resource offerings.
◦ The Marketplace Portal in HP CSA provides a customer interface for requesting new cloud
services and for monitoring and managing existing services. Subscriptions are available
at multiple price points, as defined by the subscription owner.
◦ The Topology Designer and Sequential Designer are the HP CSA graphical service design
and content portability tools. The designs created through both designers are presented
as service offerings that Marketplace Portal users can select and provision. Topology
Designer is used to create infrastructure service designs. Sequential Designer is used to
create more complex application service designs.
Topology Designer also supports HP Operations Orchestration (OO) callouts for pre- and
post- compute node provisioning.
See the HP CSA documentation at Enterprise Information Library.
