Hewlett-Packard gets real

Hewlett-Packard gets real

By Paul Miller on April 8, 2015

The New York Times’ Quentin Hardy reports HP’s Bill Hilf as saying that: “We thought people would rent or buy computing from us. It turns out that it makes no sense for us to go head-to-head [with Amazon].” Well, yes. But, and it’s a huge but… this doesn’t mean HP is abandoning (or should abandon) the […]

HP’s fight with Autonomy gets personal

HP’s fight with Autonomy gets personal

By Paul Miller on April 1, 2015

And vice versa. HP is suing Autonomy’s former CEO and CFO for $5 billion, citing fraud. They, in turn, are suing HP for almost $150 million in damages, citing ‘false and negligent statements’ made about them on HP’s behalf. You know the story; HP spends crazy money on Autonomy, a darling of the UK tech sector. […]

Open source history, present day, and licensing

By Mårten Mickos on October 1, 2014

This article is part of my talk, Open-Source Business Models. You can see the full transcript and the video of my talk on Heavybit.com. My name is Marten Mickos and I’m the CEO of Eucalyptus Systems. As Tom mentioned, I was the CEO of MySQL for eight years. I was de facto the only CEO […]

New HP Printer Google Hack via Port3000

By Dan Morrill on January 27, 2013

New HP Printer Google Hack via Port3000 Blogger Adam Howard over at Port3000 has found a very cool new Google Hack for finding unsecured HP Printers. A lot of these time out, but for those that work, the day gets interesting. You do need Java to make the admin screen work, and these seem to […]

HP Discover–Awesome Potential But Massive Challenges

HP Discover–Awesome Potential But Massive Challenges

By Ben Kepes on December 14, 2012

I recently spent three days in Frankfurt attending HP’s European event, Discover. (Disclosure – HP contributed towards T&E for the event). Obviously the event was always going to be fascinating, coming as it did only a week or two after the bombshell around Autonomy and the large questions around both

Hewlett Packard: a tale of many clouds

Hewlett Packard: a tale of many clouds

By Paul Miller on December 13, 2012

Hewlett Packard used its Discover event in Frankfurt last week to reassert the company’s cloud credentials. Public, private, hybrid; HP is painting pictures that encompass them all, whilst seeking to protect hardware revenues and reassure conservative executives at some of its largest and most profitable customers. But HP has been here before, making bold claims […]

‘Autonomy Inside’ matters at Hewlett Packard

‘Autonomy Inside’ matters at Hewlett Packard

By Paul Miller on December 11, 2012

The Hewlett Packard marketing machine was busy last week, assuring the world that the company’s £7.1bn ($11.7bn) acquisition of Autonomy still made sense despite an eye-watering financial write down and unseemly public squabbling with the Cambridge company’s former management. HP CEO Meg Whitman used her keynote at HP Discover in Frankfurt to assert that the […]

HP Discover Europe and the Viability of HP’s Cloud Play

HP Discover Europe and the Viability of HP’s Cloud Play

By Ben Kepes on November 28, 2012

I’m heading to Europe for HP’s Discover event and the conference has me thinking about the last Discover event I attended in Las Vegas earlier his year and HP’s awful few weeks around the Autonomy debacle. Alongside my theme du jour of traditional enterprises (and traditional vendors) being disrupted by new, more flexible and adaptable […]

OpenStack Seeing the Light of General Availability

OpenStack Seeing the Light of General Availability

By Ben Kepes on August 7, 2012

The last few weeks have been interesting around the OpenStack ecosystem. We’ve had HP moving object storage and Cloud CDN to general availability. We had Morphlabs introduce an interesting combined hardware and software offering called mCloud Helix. The product is powered by OpenStack, and combines that with SSD-powered nodes to deliver a compact rack mount […]

Silicon Angle Interview–What’s New and News in the Cloud

By Ben Kepes on July 6, 2012

While I was in Las Vegas a few weeks ago I took the opportunity to sit down with Alex Williams, Cloud editor of Silicon Angle, and Stu Miniman from Wikibon, to film a video interview. The interview cam at an interesting time – in the space of 24 hours we’d seen some large Cloud-related announcements […]

HP’sCloud Forays – DreamWorks runs on OpenStack Powered Production Kit

By Ben Kepes on June 26, 2012

At HP Discover (disclosure – HP covered my T&E to attend Discover), almost half of the opening day keynote was given over to DreamWorks CEO Jeffrey Katzenberg to articulate why DreamWorks has gone “all in” with HP. Katzenberg’s presentation was entertaining, and told the usual tails of an industry that is undergoing seismic shifts and […]

Dell’s Rock and Hard Spot

Dell’s Rock and Hard Spot

By Dave Michels on February 24, 2012

The Apple iPad is booming, but does that mean the PC is dying? The enterprise seems to to view the iPad not as an OR, but an AND. But the consumer PC is not so resilient. This week Dell reported Fourth Quarter Results: “Dell Inc.’s (DELL) fiscal fourth-quarter earnings fell 18% as the computer maker saw revenue […]

HP’s Monkey Business

By Zoli Erdos on September 21, 2011

Bloomberg reports the HP Board is considering replacing CEO Leo Apotheker after less then a year tenure…   poor Leo,  after this and his previous gig as SAP CEO where he lasted 10 months, he might as well specialize on 10-month “turnaround” gigs. But it would be naive to think Leo could have initiated changes […]

Does Google get enterprise? No – so what?

By Martijn Linssen on August 30, 2011

After a small conversation with Frank Scavo – whom I hold highly – it struck me: we old enterprise boys that keep kicking the #socmed chins might be on our way to retirement. Not saying that Frank’s one of them, but I certainly count myself to the pack as I’ve only been around multinationals and […]
