HP Teams with Foxconn
The Taiwan-based Foxconn Technology Group ( www.foxconn.com) is probably best known for manufacturing iPads and iPhones but, in fact, also cranks out BlackBerries, Kindles, PlayStations,
and many other devices. As of May 1, Hewlett-Packard ( www.hp.com) has joined the flock by way
of a joint venture to create a new line of cloud-optimized servers specifically targeting service
providers. Apparently, HP has taken notice of a report from International Data Corporation (IDC,
www.idc.com) predicting that — as a result of a boom in cloud-based delivery services — there will
be "hyperscale growth in servers used for hosting ( 15 to 20 percent compound annual growth rate
from 2013 to 2018)."
According to Meg Whitman, HP president and CEO, "With the relentless demands for
compute capabilities, customers and partners are rapidly moving to a new style of IT that requires
focused, scalable, and high volume system designs. This partnership reflects business model
innovation in our server business, where the high volume design and manufacturing expertise of
Foxconn — combined with the compute and service leadership of HP — will enable us to deliver a
game-changing offering in infrastructure economics."
The new server line will complement — not replace — HP's existing ProLiant servers, including
Moonshot. Details on pricing and availability were not available. NV
