I thought HPE may be a potential suitor for HDP. The recent moves shows HPE is firmly positioning itself as a hardware company. Given the spinoff of their software assets perhaps HPE may not be interested in HDP.
It makes me wonder who are potential suitors for HDP?
HDP is not a fit for IBM. Also, I am wondering whether IBM is going to do what HPE is doing? That is split. That could unlock some value and set a new direction. IBM could become a complete SW company.
