What are some examples of software that are getting spun out?

I would assume stuff like HP-UX will stay at HPE?

I think the gem in all of this is HavenOnDemand but absolutely NO ONE has even heard of it ... https://www.havenondemand.com ... it can clearly compete w/ Bluemix ...

With the Watson stuff, yes.

With the Cloud Foundry stuff, maybe not. HP have two Cloud Foundry distributions, if I am counting correctly -- HP Helion and Stackato (which was a an early fork).

Disclosure: I work for Pivotal, we are the majority donor of engineering to Cloud Foundry.

HPE Helion == Suite of cloud products HPE Helion Stackato == Cloud Foundry

There has been some branding changes, but things are settling down.

Afaik Stackato is not too much of a fork anymore - but we have always had a single CF distros.

Thanks. Branding is hard.

According to the info graphic on the HPE website this includes things like IDOL and AppPulse. You can see more at https://www.hpe.com/us/en/newsroom/news-archive/featured-art...

Eucalyptus is one example that is getting spun off.

Are you sure? I thought that was going with the Enterprise Services spin off merger.

Right, that is being spun off and no longer with HPE. Figured the example being sought was software that will no longer be with HPE and not just this specific spin off.
