HP makes good on its open-source commitment | #OpenStack
About a year ago, Hewlett-Packard, Co. made a billion dollar commitment to open-source Cloud computing.
“We’re really delivering on that,” HP Cloud CMO Bobby Patrick told theCUBE, SiliconANGLE Media’s production team, during OpenStack Summit 2015. “If you look at the customers that are on stage now — Fox, Dreamworks, customers like Interlinx …we’ve come a long way in a year. We’re committing more code upstream to OpenStack than any other company, and we are delivering customers. We’re past the stage of science projects. The investment is paying off.”
HP focuses on public, private, and hybrid Cloud and helps customers pull together other solutions.
The importance of compatibility
“We offer a single tool with Helion so you can broker out to Amazon, to Azure, and one tool controls it all,” he said. “Our viewpoint is that the private Cloud is the control point and gives you a view into all the Clouds that you want to use. We believe in compatibility.”
Looking ahead, HP has no shortage of big projects. “We’re going to have a manufacturer that’s largely based on [Amazon Web Services] standards but deploying what they call AWS satellites, which is essentially private Clouds running throughout the infrastructure to store sensitive information and a company’s core IP. That’s what we’re showing today at OpenStack.”
