Salesforce.com And HP Have A New Partnership With A Cool New Name
That's why HP became a Salesforce.com customer about two years ago (as well as Workday).
HP, with over 300,000 employees worldwide, was one of largest customers that Salesforce.com had ever landed at that time.
On Monday, the two companies came up with a new way to work together: a project called "Superpod."
The Superpod is HP's private area in Salesforce.com's data center where Salesforce's software will run on HP's hardware.
Salesforce.com has never done this for another customer.
Sharing the hardware and software (in geek speak "multitenancy") is what Salesforce.com is all about. Sharing is how cloud computing saves money over traditional, on-premises computing.
But HP is such a big customer that it can get it's own Superpod, Benioff told analysts in a quarterly conference call.

We'll see if the Superpod brings more huge customers to Salesforce, or generates much new revenue to HP. It could. We still like the project's name.
HP could maybe name more of its products like that: SuperWin (a Windows 8 PC); SuperDroid (A Chromebook), SuperServ (a new server) ...
