Hp planning to increase their revenue by concentrating on higher margin storage and cloud computing arena.There is already big players out there in this area such as Amazon,IBM,Google,Microsoft .As per the reports HP’s cloud platform will be much similar to Amazon’s web services but there will be no price cut on services.
Amazon.com working as a international retailer but they serving the developers through their cloud service AWS (Amazon web services ).The service price is on the basis of usage and it varies from case to case.H-P’s planned cloud services will offer some programming languages such as Ruby, Java and PHP along with some analytics service in cloud.
