HP Exec Talks About Cloud Hosting, and Data Usage

Tuesday, June 15th, 2010

Hewlett-Packard’s new executive vice president of software & solutions, Bill Veghte, talked all about cloud hosting at the June 15 opening of the HP Software Universe 2010 conference. He discussed all about the fundamental questions confronting businesses in their quest to digest and manage data.

Veghte spoke to an audience of media and analysts at Maryland’s Gaylord Center, where HP will spend the next several days hosting sessions for customers, partners and developers.

“I’ve had the privilege of watching some very dramatic market inflections, in terms of how businesses are using productivity,” Veghte said, adding that his background with Microsoft—including years spent developing Windows—allowed him to witness several such inflections.

Later when ask about whether to virtualize a particular service or application, or to rely on a public/private clouds, or even whether the cloud will be best utilized on a platform or application level he stated “As I talk about this,” Veghte said, “the reality is that enterprises are accelerating that model today: you look at the fact that, out of the number of businesses, 76 percent of businesses think they will pursue a private cloud implementation in the next couple of years.” While the rate of data usage is increasing exponentially among both consumers and businesses, he added, the fact remains that some 85 percent of that comes from businesses.

“Even as that digital data is accelerating, the requirements on IT organizations around security and compliance continue unabated,” Veghte said. “In fact, ‘unabated’ is an understatement: we will see more security issues, not less.”

HP Cloud Hosting News

Wednesday, May 19th, 2010

Hewlett-Packard is set Wednesday(today) to announce LoadRunner in the Cloud, a new application performance testing suite running on Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2).

Rather than deliver an application that performs a specific function, and creates a set of data stored on a server, HP’s pushing the idea of using data already in the cloud as a way to offer IT as a service. So instead of getting the IT department to write an application for human resources, the IT department shows someone in HR the types of data he can access and builds a service around that.

I want to hear more about how HP is helping design software and workloads optimized for the cloud, and how it plans to limit who can access the data that’s stored in the cloud while managing how that data is used.  HP, do you have any answers?
