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 […]

Enterprise Hybrid Clouds and Reverse Cloud Washing

Enterprise Hybrid Clouds and Reverse Cloud Washing

By Guest Authors on September 14, 2012

This means a combination of public/private/IaaS/PaaS/SaaS depending upon the needs of the business and the economics of the situation.
