Force in function: Harnessing change | #HPDiscover #HPEDiscover
by Amber Johnson | Jun 2, 2015
The current business climate has created a “perfect storm” for modern IT organizations, due to the increasing pace and need for non-linear thinking and mobility, according to one architecture executive at Hewlett-Packard, Co. Sitting down with theCUBE at HP’s annual Discover event, K.C. Choi, Global Solutions Architecture and Engineering VP at HP, explained the obstacles this perfect storm has created.
These factors create a “challenging environment for IT organizations, especially ones traditional in nature,” said Choi.
Since all of these levers act simultaneously, businesses and customers see an increase in the velocity and quality of applications, which are driven by the demand. Businesses have grown accustomed to much more frequent application cycles.
This phenomenon has led to what Choi describes as a “force in function,” in which “traditional businesses are adopting architecture and methodology” previously unseen in more conservative businesses.
The key battleground combination
Choi stated the “key battleground combination” comes from finding a middle ground of tolerance and experience and leveraging competence in existing infrastructure.
In reply to the industry buzz phrase “re-platforming” in enterprising, Choi examined how many companies today, “unless they are web… [or] Cloud native,” require integrating customer files through container methodology. While these container programs are not new, they can accelerate a company’s information accessibility by carrying forward the historical data into new deployment models.
Choi regards “fast success points,” such as open-source applications that deliver “strong returns on investments” and “measurable impact” of unorthodox “outside help” with architecture. He also noted more change in regards to the traditional bell curves, where more innovation comes from the middle, as opposed to the leaders.
“Smaller to mid-sized companies have access to resources” and therefore, they become “more competition to bigger companies.”
A visionary leader
Progress is to be found in “re-purposing historical data and software to adjacent work” at a faster pace than is traditional. Largely this is due to the shift in consuming Software as a Service as opposed to “spinning data.”
Choi called HP a “visionary lead in [its] all flash center.” Moving forward, Choi looked to confluence and being able “to measure everything within a business” to be able to see “the breaks and variability.” Choi hoped to see a “completeness” “within the next few months” ensuring a communication between hardware, both sensing and monitoring functions. He also spoke of an appreciation for totality for which HP strives.
