The cloud market is super competitive right now. HP tried to develop its own OpenStack based cloud but AFAIK it didn't turn out very well at all.
I'm wondering what their strategy is going forward. Are they still in the cloud business or are they gonna stick to the hardware/server side of things.
- nepotism2018 9y agoLike many, HP didn't know what openstack is for (on-premise or public cloud)
- phillu 9y agoCan you explain what you mean? What is OpenStack for?

- vthallam 9y agoProbably, the comment meant that OpenStack works best only in specific scenarios, like Private Cloud for Enterprises with strict compliance and regulatory requirements. Rackspace seems to be trying to do more in this area.
- jonathantm 9y agoYes. Very.
- nepotism2018 9y agovthallam cleared up what I meant, apologies
- Top19 9y agoTheir mistake was buying this cloud company, Attunity, for $11 billion, and then realizing the company had completely defrauded them with fraudulent accounting. They had to do a 100% write-off.
- eppsilon 9y agoI think you mean Autonomy?
- rosege 9y agoI know of 2 banks that bought an OpenStack private cloud solution from HP and even though they were over a year apart HP could not get it working for either one and had to change at least the hypervisor to VMware
