HP buys Eucalyptus as cloud consolidation commences for real


Quote:
Hewlett-Packard, which is basing its cloud strategy on OpenStack, has decided to buy Eucalyptus, a backer of a rival open-source cloud technology. And Eucalyptus CEO Marten Mickos, will lead the company’s cloud effort as SVP and general manager of HP’s cloud Business.

Martin Fink, who had filled that role, will remain CTO and director of HP Labs. Terms of the deal were not disclosed, but Eucalyptus had raked in something like $55 million in venture funding since it was founded in 2010. Some estimate that HP may have paid up to $100 million for Eucalyptus, its IP and some 70 employees.

In an interview, the executives didn’t provide much detail about integration plans, but stressed that Eucalyptus brings valuable experience in deploying private clouds that interoperate with Amazon Web Services to HP and that those AWS “use patterns” will come in handy as HP continues to push its OpenStack-based private, public and hybrid cloud vision into enterprise accounts.

Are any LQ members currently using Eucalyptus?
