HP Joins The Hybrid Cloud Race

HP Joins The Hybrid Cloud Race

By Krishnan Subramanian on January 25, 2011

HP, who was a reluctant player in the cloud game for a long time, today announced some products and services aimed at enterprises who are looking forward to move to hybrid clouds this year. They are trying to position themselves as a cloud provider who can keep enterprises secure. Leaving aside all the marketing talk […]

HP Ditches Oracle Siebel in favor of Salesforce.com?

HP Ditches Oracle Siebel in favor of Salesforce.com?

By Zoli Erdos on November 23, 2010

Today’s big news is that HP is dropping Siebel CRM now owned by Oracle in favor of Salesforce.com. It’s a bit unfortunate that this is presented in the context of personal ego wars – unfortunate, but understandable,  considering that Oracle has been on a warpath with HP ever since former CEO Hurd got ousted, in […]

Containers, Computers and Catalan sunshine

By Paul Miller on October 20, 2010

Image by dannybirchall via Flickr I took a quick trip to the Catalan city of Barcelona earlier this month; surely the first time I’ve been to that city without seeing the sea. I was there as a guest of HP, to hear some of the latest happenings in their storage business. Over two days, we […]

CEO Musical Chairs

CEO Musical Chairs

By Zoli Erdos on September 30, 2010

<quick rant, not qualified analysis, don’t read much into it> So Leo Apotheker got HP.  Or did HP get Leo?  Either way, the former SAP CEO has just been named as the future savior of  HP.  Great pick.  HP’s troops have never been more demoralized, and Leo has a lot of experience with demoralized troops.  […]

The Day Hp Got Killed. Publicly. By HP.

The Day Hp Got Killed. Publicly. By HP.

By Zoli Erdos on September 19, 2010

Recently I wrote up a positive example how Twitter, and generally public participation can enliven a conference.  Today we’ve witnessed the opposite.  Twitter KO’d HP at Oracle OpenWorld.  No, let me correct that. HP KO’d HP.  This keynote will be a case study for years to come.  No more comments… just a few selected tweets, […]

Cloud Computing On The Way To Gain Some Traction In The European Market

Cloud Computing On The Way To Gain Some Traction In The European Market

By Krishnan Subramanian on July 5, 2010

European industry is very slow to adopting cloud computing compared to their counterparts in US. In my previous posts about the European scene, I have pointed out to the lackluster adoption by the European organizations. I asked them about the European cloud market and what kind of traction they are seeing in the market. Christoph told me […]

How far would you go to get a job in todays market redux

By Dan Morrill on June 9, 2010

Sarah Jones over at the IT Job Board UK has some interesting coverage on how far would you go to get a job in today’s market. In Mid 2009, I wrote about the idea that people would alter their skill sets and knowledge to land any gig in the area. At that point, it was […]

How HP could give IBM a run for its money in Cloud Computing Security

By Dan Morrill on January 26, 2010

HP starts offering a unified Cloud and in local data center security package that aims to take on IBM directly. With the deals that HP has been making with Microsoft and using the skills and talents that came along with HP’s acquisition of EDS, this just might end up being an interesting race to the […]

Look Who’s Talking: ASUS, the Designer Brand

Look Who’s Talking: ASUS, the Designer Brand

By Zoli Erdos on January 5, 2010

Brand vs. Quality. Which Would You Pay For? – I asked recently, making the case that “trusted old brands” like HP are producing inferior quality, while formerly “no-name cheapo” component maker ASUS is becoming a household name.  They are basically doing what Honda, Toyota (and now the Koreans)  did to the car business. Sure, ASUS […]

Open Innovators Outperform the Market by 16.9%

Open Innovators Outperform the Market by 16.9%

By Hutch Carpenter on December 7, 2009

At the Open Innovation Summit last week in Orlando, there were a number of companies there discussing their various initiatives for open innovation. What is open innovation? UC Berkeley professor Henry Chesbrough, perhaps the father of the movement, formulated this definition several years ago: Open innovation is a paradigm that assumes that firms can and […]

Brand vs. Quality. Which Would You Pay For?

By Zoli Erdos on December 7, 2009

Time to re-evaluate just what we consider “good brands” vs. junk.  I could not resist the summer back-to-school discounts and upgraded two laptops – one of them is already making funny noises. Tired already?   It’s an HP.  Perhaps just a co-incidence –  but my desktop monster, just two years old has long been pretending it […]

SaaS ≠ ASP2.0. A Treatise on FUD

SaaS ≠ ASP2.0. A Treatise on FUD

By Ben Kepes on April 9, 2009

FUD is a sceptics term to describe the cynical creation of Fear, Uncertainty and Doubt (hence FUD) to make a simple issue look more cloudy than it is. Alas there is much FUS present around the SaaS industry. Fellow author Krish has highlighted one example, namely the Microsoft S+S strategy. I’ve recently had a few […]

HP sees opportunities in the Cloud

By Paul Miller on March 25, 2009

Hewlett-Packard‘s VP and CTO for Cloud Services Strategy, Russ Daniels, has an interesting job that encompasses far more than ‘simply’ worrying about how HP’s existing data centre business can adapt to the rise of utility computing. In a wide-ranging conversation that provides insight into the breadth of HPs interest and ambition, he recently spoke with […]

If Support = Sales, Lousy Support = Lost Sales

By Zoli Erdos on January 9, 2009

Smart companies know that Support = Sales. Others still have to learn that Lousy Support = Lost Sales.  I’ve had my fair share of poor support experience with HP, including the rep who would rather damage the brand by claiming they sell mismatched units than look for a solution, or this other fellow who is […]
