HP and Salesforce.com have teamed up to provide Salesforce CRM on dedicated “Superpod” HP boxes in an effort to satisfy enterprise clients fearful of having their data situated in the Public Cloud. While many industry stakeholders quickly questioned whether the arrangement met “required criteria to be referred to as a Cloud offering” because the dedicated hardware boxes will not service “multiple tenants”, HfS believes those arguments from multitenant purists are increasingly irrelevant in today’s environment of commoditizing hardware prices and paranoid enterprise IT leaders. Does it really matter whether that offering is classified as “Cloud or multi-tenant anymore”? Not if we are focused on the “what” with regard to business outcomes rather than the “how”.
