HPE comes over all Docker, throws containers at Helion tools lineup

HP Enterprise jumped into the Docker ecosystem with both feet today, running the container technology right through its Helion cloud portfolio.

"HPE is killing off public cloud, not private cloud."

You would have to be very short-sighted these days imo to buy into a cloud solution that doesn't have hybrid options for on and off premise cloud. (I guess that's partly why Microsoft cloud revenue already overtook Amazon.)

Who is this even aimed at? Anyone capable of actually understanding Docker and what it's good for is definitely capable of implementing it themselves. Anyone needing hyper scale cloud services will use AWS or possibly Azure and completely ignore the HP mini cloud in the corner like they do the vColo Air service. That pretty much leaves HP fanboys to use this, and VMware fanboys using vCloud right up until they shut the servers down.

Oh, wait, 3 seconds of Google-Fu shows that they have. All of them. Even Microsoft got in before the votes were cast HPe, Buck up!!

This is for private cloud as they EOD'd public version.
