Three HP executives discuss the implications and business value from the Converged Cloud, the major focus of discussion at HP Discover 2013.
\nWhat’s happening in the market today, is that on one end, you have startups that are rushing to the cloud very quickly, that use cloud and don’t use anything else, because they don’t want to spend a penny on building up an IT department.
\nOn the other extreme, you have very large corporations that look at all the things that are unknown around cloud and are sticking their toe in the water.
\nAnd you have everything possible and every possible scenario in the middle. That’s where things are getting interesting. You have forward-looking CIOs who are embracing clouds, and understand how cloud can help them add value to the business and, as such, are an important part of the business.
\nYou have other CIOs who are very reluctant and that prefer to stay managing the traditional boat, if I can put it that way, in keeping and providing that support to our customers. It’s a interesting market right now.<\/p>\n
