Hewlett Packard (HP) has a plan to crack the Cloud Computing market – it just isn't letting anyone in on what that might be just yet!
Speaking at the HP Software Universe show and conference in Vienna, Tom Hogan, senior vice president for software at HP said companies said that HP had Cloud ambitions, but admitted that the firm needed to be more deliberate in its approach to this market.
"Rather than jump in to the hype out of the gate - you can't pick up a newspaper or a technology magazine today without reading about the cloud - we have been very deliberate over the past nine months, assessing where we think The Cloud can help us," he said.
"We're not just going into The Cloud game. Our intent is to go in to lead," he added. "We think it's real and it's going to happen, but it's not going to be the panacea solution... We want to be able to deliver on the various delivery channels and allow customers to select the delivery model of their choice."
Some two thirds of HP's BTO software products are already available on a SaaS delivery model, he said, adding that the company plans to extend this service to other HP software products. But he wasn't about to let slip when this might be other than to say that the firm will "very soon" unveil new announcements in the cloud computing space. "We have a strategy,” he insisted. “We have a plan.”
