Meet Your Revolutionary Neighbors: William Franklin
The illegitimate son of Benjamin Franklin, William Franklin received a classical education and grew up living above his father's printing shop in central Philadelphia. When King George’s War was fought in the 1740’s he served in a Philadelphia company created for a planned expedition against the French in Canada and attained the rank of captain. With no prospect for advancement, I resigned shortly after the war ended even though I enjoyed military life. During the French and Indian War I accompanied my father to London and then in August 1762, I was appointed Royal Governor of New Jersey. At first my wife and I lived in Burlington where we built an impressive three story brick mansion. In 1773, we moved to Perth Amboy into a handsome mansion overlooking Raritan Bay. According to historian ...

According to historian and biographer Willard Steele Randall I was New Jersey’s “ablest and most progressive royal governor, as well as its longest in office.” However, my dedication to my political appointment came at a price. My father was a passionate believer in the necessity for independence, while I did not believe that independence could lead to anything but division and chaos. In June 1776, he was arrested and after spending some months under house arrest he was transferred to Connecticut. Read more: http://revolutionarynj.org/rev-neighbors/william-franklin/

theCUBE co-hosts, John Furrier and Dave Vellante, sat down with William Franklin, Vice President of OpenStack & Technology Enablement and Cloud with Hewlett-Packard Company, discussing what makes OpenStack such a big focal point at this moment.
"Why is the interest so high in OpenStack and what was the hardest question you received on stage?" asked Furrier.
"I think the interest is so high because OpenStack is the fastest growing open source project in the history of open source. Cloud computing is the third revolution of computing; we've started with mainframes, we moved into client server, and now we're moving into this third revolution of cloud computing. It's the perfect storm of rapidly adopted open source project in the middle of this transformation. I don't think the questions were necessarily all that hard; HP is right in the middle of trying to deliver the hybrid cloud solutions and a lot of customers have a lot of questions."
"In the early days of cloud, in 2008 and 2009, it was pretty obvious what needed to be done," recounted Furrier. "Where do you think we are now with cloud for business? Are we at full adoption, full migration?"
"As other participants on the Panel today have talked about, we are now at a stage where you see strategic adoption by a lot of the customers. During the early days everybody assumed it was going to be a public cloud, but for reasons relating to compliance and security, enterprises are looking at private clouds and managed service clouds, public clouds, and companies have to deal with managing their clouds, how do they upgrade it, how do they protect it -- the whole lifecycle of the product."
"Amazon is like the gold stamp of public cloud," stated Furrier. "They have the full stack, they're launching new products every day and you have to compete with that. But enterprise is just a different animal. Amazon has some enterprise customers, but it's mostly shadow IT, but HP is an enterprise company: you have servers, you have Jim Ganthier, Antonio Neri, Open Compute... Is Amazon a threat?" asked Furrier.
"Fundamentally we believe that those enterprises are going to be building hybrid clouds and that's private, managed and public. We have solutions for customers from different product organizations at HP -- software, servers, services, storage, hardware, that allow those enterprises to build hybrid clouds. If they're bursting to Amazon, or to the HP public cloud, or they're using managed services that are provided by HP's services organization, we're trying to take OpenStack and other solutions, bring it to the market to give them business solutions."
"How has the definition of 'open' changed in the last 20+ years and what does it mean for customers?" asked Vellante.
"Every six months the OpenStack community gets together -- and HP is one of the platinum members -- and anybody can show up. We talk about how can we advance the product, if we're going to make any changes to the APIs, and how we're going to do that -- as a complete community. Enterprise customers who purchased this have the same right to play as the tiny startups or the huge corporations like HP. From OpenStack's perspective, standardizing on one set of APIs that are delivered and controlled by Amazon, means that the OpenStack community has no ability to discuss that. The comment that I made about HO is that we're watching this play out, and seeing where it leads. We might see one day Amazon adopting the OpenStack APIs."
"The theme of this event is 'breaking into the enterprise'," noted Vellante. "Amazon is good for a lot of clients for a lot of applications but a lot of your clients need more."
"There's a lot of areas where there's a 'white space'. There's the block storage piece, Amazon has the load ballancing, and OpenStack is trying to fill some of those places out, but I think, despite Amazon being a fantastic public cloud, there are use-cases where customers do not want or can't use a public cloud," said Franklin. "There's no answer from Amazon as to how they do that, how do enterprises build this private cloud. Most customers use public clouds for some things but there are a bunch of things they want to keep in-house, either for legislative reasons or for data sovereignity or security reasons. We're trying to fill that need."
"We're basically giving a customer the ability to deliver the business solutions they need. The way you configure the security is up to how you want it structured at. At the end, technology is there to serve business needs. Our customers set it up to solve business needs. We want to deliver those solutions."
