HP already had cloud services in 2006 called Flexible Computing Services when I worked there as an intern.
These services still exists (maybe with a different name), I have friends working in those departments.
But Leo is new and HP is big, he probably didn't know about them ;).
- nkassis 16y agoAnd neither did I, is this anything like the other cloud services people know off? Also, if I was CEO the first thing I'd change is the damn website. That's probably why he hasn't heard of it, it's almost impossible to find anything on that site.
- sashthebash 16y agoI think it is targeted at larger companies and HP is also not only providing the infrastructure but additional software by the hour as well. The HP website is so chaotic due to the many sub-organizations and regions fighting for attention (I worked in the HP web team in 2007/2008).

It was just not called "cloud computing".
