HP cloud chief’s exit sparks more confusion

HP cloud chief’s exit sparks more confusion Hewlett-Packard’s attempt to get its cloud computing strategy heard above the noise around the company’s biggerhp touchsmart 520-1160a slot blu-ray drive woes took another hit this week. ? Zorawar “Biri” Singh,? who headed up HP’s Converged Cloud and Cloud Services effort, is gone, according to AllThingsD.? He will be replaced on an interim basis by? Roger Levy,hp touchsmart 520-1160xt cto slot dvd drive ? group VP for technology and customer relations. The news muddies HP’s already unclear cloud situation, although Singh’s departure is not all that surprising. He was recruited out of IBM two years ago by HP’s then-CEO Leo Apotheker. Apotheker himself was axed by HP less than a year into his tenurehp touchsmart 520-1140t cto slot blu-ray drive, replaced by current CEO Meg Whitman. Last September, citing an internal memo,? CRN reported? that? HP had formed a Converged Cloudhp touchsmart 520-1160a slot dvd drive business unit under the leadership of SVP Saar Gillai, who reported to Singh. Last week, AllThingsD re-reported ? the formation of that group, but said Gillai reported to HP COO Bill Veghte. There was no mention of Singh. Updated at 6:52 a.m. January 17: An HP spokeswoman emailed this statement: “HP remains committed to our Converged Cloud portfolio. In particular, HP Cloud Services is critical to HP’s efforts to deliver superior public cloud infrastructure, services and solutions hp touchsmart 520-1140t cto dvd driveto our customers. Roger Levy, vice president, Technology and Customer Operations of HP Cloud Services, will serve as the interim leader for HP Cloud Serviceshp touchsmart 520-1070 slot dvd drive. The company thanks Zorawar ‘Biri’ Singh for his passion and commitment to drive our public cloud vision and wish him well.” She also confirmed the AllThingsD report, saying that HP ? announced the formation of a hp touchsmart 520-1000z cto slot bd-combo drive“pan-HP organization dedicated to overseeing the company’s full range of HP? Converged Cloud? offerings” last week and promoted Saar Gillai to Senior Vice President and General Manager of HP Converged Cloudhp touchsmart 520-1100z cto slot dvd drive. HP, which could not be reached for comment,? has been hindered by bigger issues around its costly Autonomy acquisition? and plateauing PC-and-server business, and has struggled to make its vision of enterprise-class hp touchsmart 520-1100z cto slot blu-ray drivecloud heard above the competition. In an interview last year, Singh told me the company could differentiate itself from other public and private cloud providershp touchsmart 520-1040xt cto slot blu-ray drive by offering the types of high-level and specific service level agreements (SLAs) that Amazon Web Services and other cloud providers do not. It’s easy to write HP off after all its management chaos and poorly handled acquisitions. In its proxy statement last month, the company reopened the possibility of selling hp touchsmart 520-1040a slot blu-ray driveoff business units. Since then, speculation has amped up that it might even sell off Autonomy – which it bought in 2011 for more than $11 billion — and Enterprisehp touchsmart 520-1070 slot blu-ray drive Services unit, which grew out of its 2008 $13.9 billion buyout of EDS.? But, the company still has many, many large, enterprise accounts, many of which have barely tested the cloud computing scenario. If it gets its act together any time soon, those companies may stay with the program. If not … well that’s the multi-billion-dollar question. This story was updated at 6:52 a.m. with comments from HP. This from a company that had the 2nd highest market share, merged with the company that had the 3rd highest market share and came out of the deal with a lower market share then they started with because of mismanagement My target for HPQ is $5 over next 6 months. Having worked at HP I saw ugly politics at every level - from newly acquired Mercury and EDS to legacy server and pc business. It felt like each person wanted to create their own little fiefdom at any cost. Hurd was busy rewarding himself and his cronies while getting rid of employee benefits and employees. Now we have a company with no good people and no future. Technology along is not going to help HP. They need to bring new management paradigm into their company to accelerate innovation. This is possible through adopting Agile and Lean methods. A book called "Lean, Agile and Six Sigma IT Management" by Peter Ghavami has a lot of lessons for HP to learn about J-curve and cohesive quality driven design that would bring higher margins to the company. I wish all HP executives would read this book and learn from its revolutionary approach to high technology managment.
