There’s a belief that the future of Cloud is compute, and there’s new evidence that the future has arrived. We are now moving away from the server age, into an era of compute. In an interview with John Furrier and Dave Vellante for theCUBE at this year’s HP Discover in Las Vegas, Antonio Neri, Senior VP & GM for HP Servers and Network, discussed the rising era of compute and how it’s set to work with hyperscale trends in the enterprise.
You Need Compute to Run Cloud
Those who believe in open compute think that servers are dead and will all be integrated into one big “God Box” or some kind of engineered system. To discuss the role of old blade models in this supposed future, Furrier asked Neri to offer up his thoughts on the old blade models and what innovations are currently happening with servers.
Without hesitation, Neri responded, “You’re not going to buy boxes. You’re going to buy compute.”
He further explained that compute is needed to run the Cloud, which is why it’s not about the box. Rather, it’s about “optimizing the compute resources for the right workloads.” Neri said that the HP server strategy is to basically “provide the right compute for the right workloads at the right economics, and that means you will employ several different architectures,” he added.
Giving an example, Neri said if you think about the workloads in the traditional enterprise, HP has been leading with the right compute platform in that space with ProLient, its rack and tower business. Mission critical workloads are about scalability, data integrity and performance, which are all about availability. That’s why we HP has a broad portfolio of mission critical platforms, like the DL580, mission critical x86 and NonStop, which Neri mentioned has new innovation.
