&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;font size="3"&gt;I usually don't like having more than one blog post in a single day but I'm so excited to bring you this one that I'm not going to wait until tomorrow!&amp;nbsp; &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;font size="3"&gt;While at HP Discover and heading to our HP Storage customer appreciation party, I was talking to Brent Allen, the product manager for our HP VirtualSystem for VMware - he had done a session and our customer CenterBeam co-presented with him.&amp;nbsp; I told him I'd love to do a podcast with them.&amp;nbsp; Brent told me to turn around because Karen Hayward, EVP and Chief Marketing Office and Shahin Pirooz, EVP, Chief Security Officer and Chief Technology Officer from CenterBeam were coming right behind us. &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;font size="3"&gt;&lt;img src="/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/12875iFEF28EAED3CCFF40/image-size/medium?v=mpbl-1&amp;amp;px=-1" border="0" alt="7171515153_67063aae6a.jpg" title="7171515153_67063aae6a.jpg" align="left" /&gt;I had a great time talking to Karen and Shahin at our customer party and we made plans to do a podcast.&amp;nbsp; I talked to them a bit early today and have the podcast for you now - and in record time considering I also just got back from taking my son to celebrate his 13th birthday by having a bunch of his friends go paintballing.&amp;nbsp; &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;font size="3"&gt;In the podcast, I talked to Shahin - here's what we covered:&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;font size="3"&gt;Background on CenterBeam - they've been providing cloud-based services since 1999.&amp;nbsp; It's an interesting story to hear about how they were providing cloud-services before anyone was calling it cloud. &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;font size="3"&gt;How they use HP Converged Infrastructure, including their move from Dell servers to HP ProLiant and from EMC storage to HP 3PAR.&amp;nbsp; Shahin talks about 3PAR thin provisioning, storage tiering and 3PAR performance as being key to using 3PAR. &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;font size="3"&gt;Shahin and I talk about recent patents CenterBeam has earned including a new patent that allows them to use a "BYOS"&amp;nbsp;(bring your own security) model delivering their cloud services.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;font size="3"&gt;Check out the podcast&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font size="3"&gt;Here are a few more ways to learn more about CenterBeam:&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;font size="1"&gt;@HP UNHAPPY USER:&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;font size="1"&gt;There is a code of conduct that we have on our blog and I have deleted your comment because it didn't meet the code of conduct.&amp;nbsp; You can find that &lt;u&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.hp.com/hpinfo/blogs/codeofconduct.html" target="_blank"&gt;code of conduct by clicking on this link&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/u&gt;.&amp;nbsp;Specifically, you&amp;nbsp;didn't follow these rules:&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;font size="1"&gt;We will not post comments that are spam, inappropriate, defamatory, use profanity, or otherwise violate our policies or &lt;u&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;a class="udrline" href="http://welcome.hp.com/country/us/en/termsofuse.html" target="_blank"&gt;Terms of Use&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/u&gt;.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;font size="1"&gt;Because our blogs focus on material of general interest to all our readers, we ask that you direct customer support inquiries through our traditional &lt;u&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;a class="udrline" href="http://welcome.hp.com/country/us/en/contact_us.html" target="_blank"&gt;customer service&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/u&gt; channels or use our &lt;u&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;a class="udrline" href="http://forums1.itrc.hp.com/" target="_blank"&gt;IT resource center forums&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/u&gt;.&amp;nbsp; Using these channels will allow you to get your issues to experienced HP support representatives in a timely manner.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;font size="1"&gt;Our bloggers will not respond to customer support issues and will not post these comments to their blogs.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;font size="1"&gt;In addition, since you left your comment anonymously with no details to track if the facts were accurate, I deleted your comment.&amp;nbsp; &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;font size="1"&gt;In the future, I'm happy to assist getting any customer with valid issues to the right place that can help, but I won't allow comments that are anonymous and violate our code of conduct.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;</description>
