@hphelioncloud are there plans to move HP Public Cloud infras to HP Helion Cloud?

[+] Show Hidden Comments

This is a great use case

Sriram (Cloud Don) Subramanian

and will boost user confidence

Strategy180|Gardner

Yes. Watch this space.

Yes, all #HPHelion solutions will run on our #OpenStack distros including private and public cloud

HP should "prime the pump" to show on their infra as a "lighthouse" to bring the other ships.. good move

HP Public Cloud is already on OpenStack! After Rackspace it was the 2nd most biggest Public Cloud on OpenStack. It's already on Helion. Going forward every offering and Cloud initiative will be based on @hphelioncloud

Rajmohan Rajagopalan

to be clear, we announced rebranding to HP Helion Public Cloud yesterday..

Rajmohan Rajagopalan

all of these products will have HP Helion OpenStack as the foundation in the future

And do not forget our Managed Cloud Services by HP Enterprise Services (called as VPC: Virtual Private Cloud) is also going to be transitioned to HP Helion soon. It means, you can have your workloads on HP Helion based private cloud

Sriram (Cloud Don) Subramanian

sweet!

@AmitabhPancham I think that is great but you have to beat AWS and be enterprise grade; #stuckinthemiddle ?

Sandro Mazziotta24

do you plan to support Openstack Heat ? deploying helion on VM ?

[+] Show Hidden Comments

The new distribution is using TripleO for now but I anticipate seeing more projects added as time moves on

Sandro Mazziotta

what about Heat and other Openstack PaaS services like Trove for instance ?

As @rajraj indicated, all OpenStack projects are in development for future releases. As for #PaaS I leave that for him

Rajmohan Rajagopalan

yes we do

Rajmohan Rajagopalan

I meant we do plan on supporting Heat

Rajmohan Rajagopalan

HP Helion Developer platform will provide the PaaS components

Sandro Mazziotta

ok. cool. great job anyway !!!

Peter Rosenberg

@rajraj is there some package manager inside the Developer platform ?

Rajmohan Rajagopalan

thanks Sandro!

Rajmohan Rajagopalan

Peter, yes add-ons to our HP Helion OpenStack platform

Peter Rosenberg

Sriram (Cloud Don) Subramanian

also note that for guest licenses, BYOL, bring your own license

Sandro Mazziotta

@raj when are you planing to talk about the HP Helion Developer and what's in or not ? Discover ?

@rajraj proof will be in the pudding - lets see it. Open always wins

Sriram (Cloud Don) Subramanian

@rajraj Looking at HP's source code contributions, HP has been a strong contributor consistently

Rajmohan Rajagopalan

indeed.. we have contributed more than 1M lines of code!

Rajmohan Rajagopalan

that is right, I believe we are #2 overall after Rackspace.

Sriram (Cloud Don) Subramanian

For IceHouse, HP ranked #2 in contributions: http://www.stackalytics.com/?release=icehouse&metric=commits&project_type=openstack&module=&company=&user_id=

Rajmohan Rajagopalan

4 PTLs!

Sriram (Cloud Don) Subramanian15

How are you going to get returns w/o going proprietary?

[+] Show Hidden Comments

Rajmohan Rajagopalan

we will have enhanced versions for enterprises looking to deploy beyond the supported 30 nodes

HP will provide support and services for customers and will have a enterprise version available shortly for sale

Rajmohan Rajagopalan

Community will have an optional support from HP (per node/per year charge)

Also the revenue option is also tied to the PSO (services) on Community Edition and other value added sales and services. Community Edition is our contribution back to the OpenStack community majorly though...

And don't forget, HP sells hardware =) So leadership in software will naturally lead to sales in a full software/hardware stack. #makesense

The new Community Edition is on Icehouse, will updates to Icehouse be included in updated versions?

Rajmohan Rajagopalan

yes we plan to release every 6 weeks

Rajmohan Rajagopalan

that will include the latest updates, bug fixes etc

When Juno releases will this edition switch or merge? How does that work?

Rajmohan Rajagopalan

hardened and tested to ensure stability

Rajmohan Rajagopalan

good question, we are working hard to make sure the upgrades are smooth

Rajmohan Rajagopalan

stay tuned for the details as we get our next release out in ~6 weeks

Question: what is any is #cloudfoundry involved? Is that the developer platform? what's cloudfoundry, what's openstack, and what's HP?

[+] Show Hidden Comments

We are working on a PaaS solution from #cloudfoundry but it is not yet available

Strategy180|Gardner

HP Helion is the brand for HP Cloud products and services, OpenStack is the foundation for HP Helion products, CloudFoundry is the basis for the (coming) platform.

Where is the $1b being spend over the next 24 months? Code? Evangelism? Customer builldout? other? Can you share some specifics

Strategy180|Gardner

Specifics aren't really public,but the announcement yesterday spoke to several cloud initiatives that will require investment, including HP Helion OpenStack, the platform, data centers, and many related projects.

@jimgardner I was wondering if some spend was going to wire the communities together

CloudFoundry will be the base for HP Helion PaaS (upcoming). CloudFoundry is is open source and led by Paul Maritz and team in Pivotal
