“According to survey results released earlier this year, Ubuntu
still has a lot of room to grow in the cloud space. But it seems to
be doing just that, the latest indicator being HP?s release of
cloud products based partially on Ubuntu. Here?s the scoop, and why
it matters for the Ubuntu world in particular.“Last week, HP announced the public availability beginning May
10 of its HP Cloud platform, which began life as a private beta
about six months ago. Most of the HP Cloud features are not very
unique ? it?s the same basic deal as other popular hosted cloud
infrastructures, like Amazon EC2 ? but one of the characteristics
HP seems to be pushing is the open-source technologies on which its
solutions are built, freeing users from vendor lock-in.”
