Around the Storage Block Blog

Today I hit a number of topics:

• HP and Wikibon webcast with Dave Vellante
• HP Tech Day recap on HP Converged Infrastructure blog
• HP StoreOnce B6200 videos and white papers
• Nekkid Tech Podcast with Marc Farley
• Save the date for HP Discover in Las Vegas
• VMware vSphere 5 video training

Last Friday afternoon, my HP social media colleague and friend Marc Farley said this on Twitter: It is with some sadness and a lot of excitement that I tell you today is my last day at HP. The best run of my career. Thanks all !

Marc had called me the week before to say that he had turned down a job offer .  I did this short podcast with him so he could talk about what he was doing.

One of the things I like to do when ever we have an event with independent bloggers is to highlight their blog posts.  I do it for two reasons:

1. I want you to read what others are saying - their independent voices carry weight.
2. These bloggers take time away from their day jobs to visit us and I want to help them with new readers. 

Pretty much a win/win for all of us. 

Here's the next session summary from the HP Tech Day held in Ft. Collins last week.  This summary is based on the VMware integration session lead by Eric Siebert (VMware Solutions Manager) and Aboubacar Diare (VMware Integration Lead Engineer). 

 I have decent audio of this session - if you want to get the details but not watch the session on the web, here it is with a download link to follow:
