@hphelioncloud are there plans to move HP Public Cloud infras to HP Helion Cloud?
John Furrier
This is a great use case
Sriram (Cloud Don) Subramanian
and will boost user confidence
Strategy180|Gardner
Yes. Watch this space.
HPE Cloud
Yes, all #HPHelion solutions will run on our #OpenStack distros including private and public cloud
Crowd Captain
HP should "prime the pump" to show on their infra as a "lighthouse" to bring the other ships.. good move
Amitabh Dey
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
Amitabh Dey
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
John Furrier
@AmitabhPancham I think that is great but you have to beat AWS and be enterprise grade; #stuckinthemiddle ?
Sandro Mazziotta
do you plan to support Openstack Heat ? deploying helion on VM ?
HPE Cloud
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 ?
HPE Cloud
As @rajraj indicated, all OpenStack projects are in development for future releases. As for #PaaS I leave that for him
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
Peter, yes add-ons to our HP Helion OpenStack platform
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 ?

Rajmohan Rajagopalan

Sriram (Cloud Don) Subramanian

John Furrier
@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
How are you going to get returns w/o going proprietary?
Rajmohan Rajagopalan
we will have enhanced versions for enterprises looking to deploy beyond the supported 30 nodes
HPE Cloud
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)
Amitabh Dey
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...
Dave Nielsen
And don't forget, HP sells hardware =) So leadership in software will naturally lead to sales in a full software/hardware stack. #makesense
HPE Cloud
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
HPE Cloud
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
John Furrier
Question: what is any is #cloudfoundry involved? Is that the developer platform? what's cloudfoundry, what's openstack, and what's HP?
HPE Cloud
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.
John Furrier
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.
John Furrier
@jimgardner I was wondering if some spend was going to wire the communities together
Amitabh Dey
CloudFoundry will be the base for HP Helion PaaS (upcoming). CloudFoundry is is open source and led by Paul Maritz and team in Pivotal
