What will happen to storage? Execs are being shuffled around on a weekly basis. People are "retiring" to move on to different ventures as they put it. What will happen to 3PAR, which is supposed to be the biggest storage program? What about Storeserv and XP?

Fremont!
Looks like 3PAR is exiting Roseville site with everybody laidoff from storage. Announcement soon in november.
I used to work for hp/3par storage. As far as I heard about, If I were you, I would start looking for job immediately.
HPE is selling close to 1500 3pars a month currently and is hiring more agents, although they are 6 month contractors to perm to support it, so they are not giving up on it.
Storage might be the only area in HPE that looks good for now.
..I meant - doesn't stop movement to low cost countries
StoreOnce I'm not sure. I know the Ibrix code that StoreOnce is based on and it was truly messed up by HP after they bought Ibrix and it still has many issues so that is anyones guess
I can't speak for R&D, but I know that engineering is growing with more Reqs in the pipeline. It doesn't stop movement to low cost companies of course, but it does mean that 3PAR stays in the forefront. I really don't see any of the backline resources being cut for now at least - the amount of calls coming in daily just doesn't warrant doing that
I meant storeonce.
Are you certain money is being thrown at 3PAR? Resources are being slimmed down and cut including but not limited to contingent workers.
I think storage is safe for now, but who knows. A lot of resources being thrown at 3par right now.
Not sure about XP as HPE doesn't own it...its Hitachi and Storeserv is 3par by the way
