  • Comment: Responding to request on this draft's Talk page -- I'm not seeing encyclopedic notability here. As noted by the other reviewer, the articles sources do not offer significant coverage of the topic. They are more in the nature of routine business announcements, with some being little more than statements of plans and goals. Rather than having a stand-alone article, some of this material might find a home in an already-existing article (perhaps Hewlett Packard Enterprise).

  • Comment: Basically it's simply too soon considering it's barely 2 years old and the only sources here are trivial announcements, listings and trade publications, none of this amounts to notability and in fact suggests there's no major news publications. Note that there's no automatic inherited notability from anything or anyone else. SwisterTwister talk 19:05, 15 December 2016 (UTC)
  • Comment: There's nothing at all here to suggest actual notability in Wikipedia policy and I'll also then note that if there had been, the sources and information are still advertising it, and there's no automatic notability from HP or anything connected to it. This Draft, in its current form, is simply an advertising business listing. SwisterTwister talk 06:18, 3 December 2016 (UTC)

Cloud28+ is a worldwide cloud computing services marketplace[1] and federation of cloud computing organizations.[2] It was developed and is sponsored by Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE). In December 2016 it was the world's biggest aggregator of cloud computing services.[3]

The federation originally launched in Europe in March 2015, with the aim of accelerating cloud adoption in Europe.[4] It opened up to members worldwide in November 2016, at which point it had around 330 member companies and offered around 1,300 infrastructure-as-a-service (IaaS), platform-as-a-service (PaaS), and software-as-a-service (SaaS) services.[5]

History

Cloud28+ launched at an HPE event in Frankfurt, Germany in March 2015. It had been in development since April 2014, with the purpose of creating a single catalogue of European cloud computing services.[6] HP had been “trying to figure out how we grow an ecosystem of cloud suppliers in Europe, mapping services providers with ISVs and resellers,” according to HP executive Xavier Poisson Gouyou Beauchamps.[7]

On 6th June 2017 Poisson won the "Cloud Leadership Award 2017" from Datacloud Europe[8], with judges citing the growth of Cloud28+ in making their selection.[9]

Microsoft joined Cloud28+ as a technology partner in July 2017, pledging to collaborate with HPE to create a new on-boarding programme designed to bring more independent software vendors (ISVs) to the marketplace.[10]

Services

At launch, Cloud28+ required that services in its catalog be built on the HPE Helion version of the OpenStack open-source cloud software platform. In May 2016 support was extended to include Microsoft Azure, VMware, Docker and other technologies.[11] The service hub was also extended with an App Center, which automates installation of Docker-based applications.[12]
