But no question HPE is financially much stronger - $5.8B in cash and an ability to do acquisitions such as Aruba, Nimble, Simplivity and other tuck ins - smaller co's that can scale
It's wasn't all pretty - some struggles with the team, the organization, mis-steps on the HP Public cloud, assessed a strategic merger w/ EMC...all leading up to a massive breakup of the company - which was the ultimate chosen path
It's been a 6-year journey for Meg Whitman - imo she took one for silicon valley when she took this job - definitely in better shape than when she inherited a mess from the prior regime
We will have #hybrid cloud & inevitably multi-cloud. How will companies think about flattening all those cloud options so they don't have to manage all this stuff? @PLBurris#theCUBEhttp://bit.ly/2A5dhS...
Need an abstraction layer thast provides all the transparency between providers but on front end will provide the capabilities the developer or operator needs. @VaibhavJParmar#PwC#theCUBEhttp://bit.ly/2A5dhS...
Provider A will have different ways to provide the capabilities than provider B. So governance is providing a common seet of processes & tools to interface with the different providers on the back end. @VaibhavJParmar#PwC#theCUBEhttp://bit.ly/2A5dhS...
