Will the reinvention of HPE help it survive and thrive? | #HPEDiscover
by Gabriel Pesek | Dec 3, 2015
On the last day of the HPE Discover 2015 in London, the energy at the conference remained high with the possibilities raised by announcements and unveilings. Attendees touring the various kiosks and centers continued to find new ways in which Hewlett Packard Enterprise Co. (HPE) is leveraging its diversity of holdings and development focuses.
Scott Weller, SVP and GM of technology services support for HPE, met with John Furrier and Dave Vellante, cohost of theCUBE, from the SiliconANGLE Media team, to give an overview of the announcements, developments, and plans from HPE and the conference.
Synergy and simplification
Among the topics of discussion were HPE’s move away from the public cloud market, converged infrastructure (particularly the newly announced “composable” set-ups of the company’s Synergy product), and how HPE is handling channels for distribution and development.
Despite the excitement around composable infrastructure, Weller made it clear that there was more to this rollout than simply hype. “This is not ‘marketecture’ that you guys are seeing. I mean, this is real deep into the way that the company not only operates and develops solutions and goes to market,” he said.
However, he did feel that there was plenty of justification for the rush of enthusiasm with which Synergy has already been met with and that it would lead to easier management of workloads. “We’re trying to take the hassle factor out of being an ops person and also encourage a collaboration that, eventually, DevOps is all about,” he said.
Moving forward from the split
Speaking to the splitting of Hewlett-Packard into HP, Inc. and HPE, Weller was confident about the software-focused HPE’s ability to meet customer needs while building toward future products. “We have, in a way, reinvented the company, which is something you don’t do very often. But I think the companies that can reinvent at the right times are the ones that survive and thrive.”
Though the new company architecture opens up many options for HPE, Weller voiced a stance of careful pragmatism with handling the range of consumer options and internal structuring. “My belief is that, actually, simplicity is the better outcome. You don’t want to have a buffet of reference architectures or even products,” he said.
Though the opportunities for HPE’s movement forward are dizzying, Weller emphasized that customer services and satisfaction remained the company’s foremost concern. “Ultimately, without the specifics, the question is: ‘Are we helping our customers succeed through IT?.’”
