Cloud's future is hybrid, according to HPE

Jorge Colotto, VP Communications Service Providers, talks about HPE and the choice of adopting OpenNFV solutions and open technology standards.

During our visit at the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, we also stopped at the Hewlett Packard Enterprise stand, the new company born from the recent split of HP in two parts. Regardless HPE being a smaller company than HP, its presence at MWC is massive, a whole lotta 3 stands, of which one is dedicated to NFV (Network Function Virtualization) partners.

We have interviewed Jorge L. Colotto, VP Communications Service Providers Industry, and talked about some of the news of this MWC and its point of view regarding the IT world.

Jorge, what are the points of reference for the new HPE in this world that is ever shifting towards the mobile sphere? In a world that is more and more addressing towards IT, like Telco’s, do you believe that security is sufficiently taken into account?

No just new products, but also a prolonged and active support

Professor Kevin Curran from IEEE spoked about privacy, cookie law and ransomware.

During MWC we’ve met lots of people that work in a business environment and talked about their company’s vision. We had a pleasant chat with an IT professor, Kevin Curran from Ulster University in Northern Ireland, IEEE senior member, the important organization that takes care of the technological progress with a particular attention to the advantages and benefits that are brought to humanity.

How is your visit to the MWC going? what do you think about the innovations presented here?
There’s a lot of fuss about 5G as the evolution of 4G, despite 4G being not a standard yet. Everybody's talking about Cloud and Internet of Things. All these technologies are important and interesting, but in my opinion there's a lack of attention to standardization and to the support of products that are announced and brought to the market for mere economical reasons.

IoT as a tool for companies

Interview with James Maynard of Fujitsu to talk about the potentialities of the Internet of Things as a way to improve safety and data analysis in professional environments.

IoT is an actual and important theme that, unfortunately, is only considered within the consumer sphere. Examples are several: a digital scale that is connected to the Internet and saves data, an appliance that upgrades its washing programmes or independently calls for support, and so forth.
In our interview with James Maynard (Offering Management Director Global IoT & Innovation of Fujitsu) at MWC we’ve instead talked about an IoT conceived not just for an appliance or a gadget, but also for the business world, with a particular carefulness about the concept of safety.

A single company for the whole IT world: this is Dell’s vision

Interview with Robin Kuepers, EMEA DataCenter Solution & Marketing Director

Robin, I was just here in Barcelona last October at VMworld, when Michael Dell spoke his message about the acquisition of EMC. I know that for some legislative reason you can’t openly talk about that and must wait, but what do you feel about Dell’s future regarding this colossal acquisition?

I can confirm we can’t talk about that, unfortunately we must wait for the legislative procedures in all the countries where Dell is present. However I can say that we are facing a great opportunity, also considering the good compatibility level between our commercial offering and EMC’s.
