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. […]

‘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's AWS Strategy

HP’s AWS Strategy

By Krishnan Subramanian on May 11, 2012

HP yesterday announced that they are releasing their public cloud in public beta. During the media blitz preceding the announcement, Zorowar Biri Singh SVP and GM for HP Cloud Services (disclosure: a friend of mine from before he joined HP) told Business Insider about how they plan to compete with AWS. He told them that […]

HP Moves its Public Cloud Into Publicly Available Beta

HP Moves its Public Cloud Into Publicly Available Beta

By Ben Kepes on April 10, 2012

Since the announcement last week that Citrix would be moving it’s CloudStack product to Apache, some of the move vociferous support for OpenStack has come from HP, a company that is an active member of OpenStack and has a private beta offering built on top of OpenStack out in the wild. Today it becomes obvious […]

HP Opensources WebOS: My Quick Thoughts

HP Opensources WebOS: My Quick Thoughts

By Krishnan Subramanian on December 9, 2011

HP (previous CloudAve coverage) today announced that they are opensourcing their WebOS mobile operating system. After their initial plan to shed WebOS completely, there was a rethink once Meg Whitman took over as CEO. They were dillydallying for many weeks before making this smart move. HP today announced it will contribute the webOS software to […]

PaaS Is The Future Of Cloud Services: CloudFoundry Is Ramping Up Big Time

PaaS Is The Future Of Cloud Services: CloudFoundry Is Ramping Up Big Time

By Krishnan Subramanian on November 22, 2011

I have high hopes on CloudFoundry (previous CloudAve coverage), VMware’s PaaS attempt, and consider the platform to be the standard for comparison in the PaaS space. Looks like it is not going to change anytime soon and last week showed that they are having ever increasing momentum in the market. No, they are not VMware’s […]

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 […]

Proof of HP's Financial Genius

Proof of HP’s Financial Genius

By Dave Michels on September 6, 2011

The first hardware conceived and delivered under HP’s ever popular CEO Léo Apotheker is an absolutely incredible calculator – destined to be a classic. I already have three of them! I bought one in 1983, the other two I quite literally inherited. The HP12C (30th anniversary edition) will soon be available for $79.99 (includes fancy gift […]

Good for HP (with a but!)

Good for HP (with a but!)

By David Terrar on August 20, 2011

Last week the IT industry had a major bombshell.  HP announced it’s intention to get out of the PC business, drop it’s WebOS smartphone and TouchPad products and buy enterprise software company Autonomy.  If you don’t recognize Autonomy they are a major success story born out of research at Cambridge University.  Founded in 1996 they […]

HP Headlines, Pick A Favorite

HP Headlines, Pick A Favorite

By Dave Michels on August 19, 2011

HP used to be a great company. An amazing company, and the subject of numerous business books discussing innovation and leadership. Other than printers and calculators, I don’t have much HP around any more. Love my HP 12C calculator (RPN Ever4!). But the current HP is a joke and has been for quite some time. […]

Spotlight on HP Open Source

By Adron Hall on August 1, 2011

While at OSCON 2011 I spoke to a Phil Robb, Bryan Gartner, and Terri Molini with HP. Phil is heading up the Open Source Program Office for HP, which we spoke about. Context and Clarity: I knew HP was involved in cloud computing to some degree, know they make tons of devices, hardware, printers, and know they […]

OSCON: Talking Shop With HP, Heroku, ForgeRock, Open Source For America, and More!

By Adron Hall on July 29, 2011

Today and yesterday I specifically aimed to meet and interview a number of sponsors and companies attending OSCON. My big quest I’d assigned myself was to determine who was doing what, where, when, and why in the Open Source Community. Of course I wasn’t going to get to every company, but I was going to […]

Egenera Touts Choice In Converged Infrastructure

Egenera Touts Choice In Converged Infrastructure

By Krishnan Subramanian on April 9, 2011

When it comes to datacenter operations, there is always this debate on converged infrastructure: Should one buy readymade converged infrastructure offered by hardware vendors or use software for convergence. The former option implied vendor lock-in and the latter meant that that the converged infrastructure may be less optimal. Like many other debates in the industry, […]
