HP has had a strong recent history of strongly preferring to launch products made by other companies originally resulting in lagging pretty far behind and failing to become a market leader in any higher margin business with actually realized growth. Internally developed products from R&D got far, far less backing compared to a salesforce of hundreds to thousands pushing acquisition products like Fortify and Autonomy or 3PAR and webOS based tablets on the hardware side. I'm not sure if you meant to make a pun, but HP literally had a project called Project Moonshot for a while that was a bet on the rise of microservers. It was also highly coupled with HP's bet on OpenStack taking mass control over internal datacenters of the Fortune 500. I, myself, kind of bet fairly hard on Openstack but after seeing the rather slow progress of adoption for it after the better part of a decade of its existence in some form, I'm thinking that people will start pulling out just from lack of progress.
