Why HP Has Hitched Its Wagon To OpenStack
HP earlier this year unveiled its OpenStack cloud effort, called
Helion, marking its official embrace of the open-source set of cloud
orchestration and management technologies.
Whitman said the way HP sees it, there will be a dichotomy between
proprietary clouds and clouds built on OpenStack. "Much like Linux,
probably 30, 40 to even 50 percent of clouds will be built on
OpenStack," she said at the event. HP will lead the OpenStack community
just as it's done with Linux, Whitman said, adding that HP is now the
No. 1 contributor of code to the OpenStack Project. "We are going to
build an architecture around where the puck is going," she said at the
event.
