Xavier Poisson Gouyou Beauchamps, HP, at HP Discover Barcelona 2013 with John Furrier and Dave Vellante
John Furrier and Dave Vellante, theCUBE co-hosts, crossed the globe this week to deliver the latest in tech trends from HP Discover in Barcelona, an event much bigger in Europe than it was in Vegas, at least according to Furrier's observations. Among the first executives to be "cross-examined" during SiliconANGLE's live broadcast at HP Discover was Xavier Poisson Gouyou Beauchamps, EMEA VP of Cloud Computing with HP.
"What is the HP presence in Europe like?" asked Furrier. "What is the market like for HP?"
"We started with a cloud movement in EMEA about three and a half years ago," recalled Beauchamps. "We started to build the next step of virtualization for our customers. We spent significant efforts to reduce the costs, increase agility and generate new business streams. The efforts were concentrated around the private cloud strategy we had; we are operating in 8 subregions, we have a really big market, and everywhere the cloud is taking off," boasted Beauchamps. "The cloud market is taking off in all fields, especially in the telecom industry, but also in finance, insurance, energy and distribution. Most importantly, cloud computing is not only a way of reducing the costs and increasing agility, but it's also creating new services."
Furrier agreed: "The cloud is a phenomenon that we are all aware off." And because a lot of things happening in the US are certainly different than the market in Europe, Furrier wanted to know "what were the challenges in Europe," besides dealing with countries and their different requirements. "What is the challenge and the opportunity of cloud?" he asked.
The cloud is all about the freedom of choice
"As I used to say to my customers and the press, despite everything you hear, the cloud does not belong to anybody," stated Xavier. "Cloud is all about the freedom of choice. We have been investing heavily in the developing of our intellectual property. As you said, we have a different market, with different laws and different regulations about data privacy and we need to embrace that. It is a huge opportunity for HP because we have built the compliance strategy of HP offering in cloud about hybrid delivery. It's about combining workloads in public clouds with those in private clouds."
