What to expect

Analysts on theCUBE are prepared to discuss the impact of HP’s most recent acquisitions and investments, the potential of the company’s evolving technology, and the challenges that the HAVEn Developer Network continues to encounter.

After acquiring Vertica Systems, Inc. and Autonomy Corp., HP hit hard times. “Vertica got lost in that shuffle,” said Dave Vellante, co-founder and chief analyst of The Wikibon Project and cohost of theCUBE. But Vellante added that Vertica was a diamond in the rough, and it was rebranded to HP Software (HP Big Data) with the intention of leveraging “kick-ass tech” and a “great team.”

How will HP come through its tough times, and will it effectively leverage HAVEn and other tech?

“They’re trying to create solutions to leverage the best of these assets to target enterprise,” according to Vellante. “HP is still learning how to be a strong software company.”
