HPE comment

John C. Tran of HPE Global Product Communications tells us by mail: “Although Eyal David attempted to define our solution, it is factually incorrect. HPE Synergy, with built-in HPE OneView, is based on an open ecosystem with over 30 partners who support direct integrations, including VMware, Microsoft, Ansible by Red Hat, and Chef.
