(HPE). Nair spoke with Dave Vellante and John Furrier, cohosts of theCUBE, from the SiliconANGLE Media team, during HPE Discover 2015 at the ExCel event center in London. Fundamentally rethinking infrastructure from the ground up Through the “composable” Synergy architecture, HPE is fundamentally rethinking the traditional view of infrastructure by starting to design infrastructure management in terms of applications expressing their requirements rather than the piece-parts of infrastructure: compute, storage and network. The current “layer-cake problem” is due to many layered stacks with different management. By not thinking of the layers of management as separate, or different, HPE is reducing or eliminating dependency on that stack. Enterprise wants in-house infrastructure simplified As they see the consumer world adopting cloud, and see how infrastructure can be simple, Nair’s enterprise customers want to know how they can do the same thing in-house. “CIOs need to have a technology roadmap,” said Nair, who sees his task as helping customers on the journey to make the transition frictionless, as well as eliminating the need to restart from scratch. @theCUBE #HPEDiscover
