Balancing Enterprise and Consumer Worlds: HP Survives Tough Cloud Revolution

Dubbed as cloud for the enterprise, HP Hybrid Solutions is set to keep the Hewlett-Packard in good shape within the cloud battlegrounds. These solutions are set to offer benefits of enterprise-grade cloud computing, at the same time looking after business requirements. This is the empirical idea that answers the question as to how HP survives living in both worlds, especially with the on-going cloud revolution.

Looking into the business side, HP Hybrid Delivery is a pack of solutions crafted and designed according to the needs of enterprise: HP Enterprise Cloud Services-Compute that will benefit clients through rapidly deployed, secure computing with scalable IT capacity, HP CloudSystem is a powerhouse that binds the best features of HP’s Converged Infrastructure and HP Cloud Service Automation, HP Cloud Discovery Workshop makes it easier for establishments and the government to create strategies and optimal path for leveraging the cloud and HP Financial Services that helps build cloud deployments for minimizing capital prerequisites.

HP has been relentless in pushing for initiatives as seen lately in a SiliconAngle article about the unveiling of data appliances that surface following the $250 million deal with another biggie, Microsoft.  This spans security, cloud storage, webOS, e-printers, tablets, computers and more products. They also reinvented their ads and revived old product television commercials to gear up for market growth. They’re launching more cloud products, security tools around this and virtualized systems, such as the webOS–a mobile operating system that runs on the Linux kernel.

Simply put, HP intensified it cloud computing services to support its business needs internally and you have consumer products like printers, tablets, PCs, etc. that act as points of distribution for everything on the enterprise side.  This tactic is quite similar to that of Google and Microsoft, and in some regards similar to Apple, though on a vastly different scale.  As the cloud wars recognize the demand growing on enterprise and consumer facets, they’ll find more ways to facilitate, capitalize and monetize those points of interaction between these two sides of their business.
