Splitting is the wrong thing to do
Splitting their business up is the wrong direction to go. In my opinion, the problem with HP is that they were already too fragmented. They are in the unique position to build a truly unified network. Some ideas I had:
*iLO in desktops and laptops, especially if those interfaces could be used to connect back to the home office via an SSL VPN or something allowing full remote control of systems no matter where they are. Perhaps use iLO as a boot method to turn the device into a thin client and connect to a machine wiht iLO hardware
*An asset management device that would allow network devices to configure themselves based on the device plugged into each port. The same device could push a configuration to the connected system as well to point it to the nearest printer and letting the device know which printer it went to.
*Adapting the iLo protocol to be used for VDI (I know quite a few IT departments that would kill for an OS-agnostic VDI solution).
*Making iLo free (A company I worked at ended up going with KVMoIP appliances since it would be cheaper than activating iLo on the servers)
*Build WebOS into the BIOS of system, giving the user a full diagnostic environment or even a client/server for iLO, right out of the box.
With the proper set up, you can end up with a scenario where a user brings in an HP tablet from home and connects it to the corporate network, at which point the asset management device recognizes it and reboots the device. Once the device has rebooted, it would connect to that employee's VDI instance over iLO, giving them full access to their work environment without endangering the network or its data. Then the user can go about their day going to meetings around the building or to different building while being able to print to the closest printer without needing to configure a thing.
