Vellante explains how quick and dramatic changes in the hybrid cloud have been: "A year ago, basically no one was doing hybrid cloud. And, now today everyone's doing hybrid cloud." Most people are moving to hybrid, leveraging third party hardware and legacy hardware and solutions. When it comes to cloud usage, Chris suggests the business model determines the ideal approach. For example, "there are certain types of engineering [and] certain types of labs that you probably just don't want to put in the public." Greg adds: "very rarely does one solution fit the entire portfolio of a given client....hybrid will suit them for years to come." Just last year, "cloud" was only a buzzword, now it is an industry standard. Greg suggests that many customers had already been using cloud technology, whether they realized it or not, but they just didn't know to call it that. According to Greg, HP's goal concerning the cloud is to standardize it, putting a "national model around it...so it can be easily replicated and growth can easily be achieved." Chris added that HP is creating cloud orchestration software that allows users to build and deploy systems at the click of the button, significantly reducing the weeks of time it formerly took to provision the storage and handle processes like zoning and network administration. Simply put, Greg suggests his team's role at HP is to reduce complexity. They aim to create a simple dashboard interface that mitigates risks. The panelists also briefly discussed conversion network adapters. According to Vellante, there wasn't much to say as "CNA is a no-brainer." Vellante and Chris explained that CNA cuts connection and infrastructure in half, while reducing power requirements.
