Roger Levy, HP Cloud Services, at OpenStack Summit 2013 with John Furrier and Jeff Frick
HP Cloud Services Vice President and General Manager Roger Levy stopped by #theCUBE at the #OpenStack Summit 2013 yesterday, to talk with co-hosts John Furrier and David Floyer about everything HP is doing in the cloud. HP sees winning DevOps as bringing automation into the private and public clouds and providing DevOps tools.
HP’s vision for the public cloud is a strategy of converging clouds. Solutions for all three types: public, private and managed clouds. HP is seeing that clients are deciding they want to deploy across all three and this hybrid cloud service is emerging. (Note: this is not the first interviewee or company to mention the convergence of a hybrid cloud model of private, public and managed clouds). HP plans to recommend the blend of a hybrid cloud services and considers hybrid to be critical, thus making #OpenStack critical. Lastly, portability among HP’s own products and other cloud vendors is another area of focus, Levy explained.
Levy said that HP sees analytics and business intelligence as the biggest pieces of cloud services for his clients, with Very sophisticated usage of hybrid clouds offerings. He gives an example of a potential client request: “I’d like 1,000 extra servers and take them back in 5 minutes when I’m done.” This kind of “only what I need when I need it” service offering is a fundamental shift in software.
He dodged the HP vs. AWS question from Furrier, but did agree that the volume and value play is something that HP would and does consider in its long-term strategy. Taking the enterprise service from the data center into the public cloud is huge and why HP is very bullish on their HP Moonshot project. As someone who’s covered Moonshot since its official launch earlier this year, I have to say I’m extremely bullish on it too. Be on the lookout for many of HP’s products to get “SaaS-ified” according to Levy, and don’t be surprised when they find there way into the cloud.
A goal of HP is to take the expectations from client relationship/support of the data center and move that to the cloud. Their vision of the cloud is to make it as simply as possible for its customers.
