#HPEDiscover5 Network Qs for the HPE Team5 Network questions from the crowd for HPE team of execs and influencers to answer.
John Furrier
Q1: What is the HPE Public Cloud strategy, within their Hybrid Cloud strategy?
Bobby Patrick
@hpe's public cloud strategy is to partner with leading service providers – not offer a single HPE branded public cloud offering.
Bobby Patrick
Lead with #1 private cloud, make hybrid cloud management in multi-cloud world simple, and partner and integrate many public clouds
Dave Vellante
@bpatrick001 @furrier - excited to unpack this on #theCUBE this week
Brian Gracely
@bpatrick001 Wikibon will have Private Cloud forecasts out soon. Curious how HPE measures Private Cloud (what elements).
Ronald Gruia
For every $1 of AWS profit growth over the past two years, HP's combined profits declined by ~$0.40.
Ronald Gruia
HPE will no doubt do some M&A to address hybrid cloud demand in areas such as SDDC & hyperconvergence.
Stuart Miniman
@rgruia if you've seen HPE Synergy - it is their answer for SDDC and in their words goes "beyond hyperconvergence". I don't expect a large acquisition in this space from HPE.
Ronald Gruia
SDDC will be key. But one thing I like from HPE is that it is trying to cover all angles. Even for hyperscale cloud providers.
Ronald Gruia
The Cloudline servers,developed w/ Foxconn, marry the HPE innovation w/ Foxconn's low cost manufacturing...
Ronald Gruia
Cloudine will be cost-competitive w/ ODMs like Quanta, which won server contracts from FB, AMZN & RAX

Q5: How does HPE involvement in open source communities like Cloud Foundry, OpenStack and Docker impact their customers? What does their customer think about using open source technologies (pros, cons, etc.)?
Dave Malouf
Open Source is at the core of #HPEHelion. Customers are requesting Open Source for various reasons: Faster Innovation, Community Support & Contribution (control their own fate), avoid lock-in, and of course lowered licensing fees. #HPEDiscover

Q2: HPE has Eucalyptus to connect to AWS, the new Microsoft partnership for Azure, long-time partnerships with VMware. How do they guide customers about when to use Public Cloud and which Public Cloud to use?
Bobby Patrick
it's about helping every customer define their own right mix. We are guiding customers workload by workload. 74% of new workloads going private over next 2 yrs

Q3: How much does HPE hear from their customers about the need for new Cloud Native environments (PaaS, Docker, etc.) vs. moving existing applications into a Private Cloud?
Brian Gracely
when @bpatrick001 says "74% of new apps will be on private cloud", did we get any breakdown on types of new apps? is this existing app portfolio or net-new apps?
Dave Vellante
People make fun of the HPE logo but here's why I like it as a digital element http://www.via-cc.at...

Q4: Who does HPE view as their biggest competition in cloud, as what alternative models (Public or Hybrid) are their customers asking about the most?
