Top storage sessions at HP Discover
(Click on the image to go to the HP Discover event page)
HP Discover is creeping up on me quickly and I am definitely excited about it. For those of you coming, I wanted to give you my pick for the top storage sessions to consider. Now mind you, I'm sure there will be other great sessions that aren't in our storage track - but hey, I am the Storage Guy. So here's my list of top storage sessions:
New HP EVA improves capacity, performance and total cost of ownership
The good news is that HP is continuing to invest in EVA P6000 Storage. We’re announcing a series of enhancements designed to help you optimize traditional and virtual workloads with new technology innovations. In a nutshell, these enhancements include:
- New models, EVA P6350 and EVA P6550, with twice the cache
- Increased addressable capacity now over 1PB
- New drive options including support for 200GB and 400GB Small Form Factor (SFF) Serial Attached SCSI (SAS) Solid State Disk (SSD)
- New 3TB SAS drive option for increased scalability
- Integration with VMware vSphere Storage APs (VAAI)
- Performance Advisor Software for intuitive, easy-to-use performance monitoring and troubleshooting interface
What's new with iLO
Last week I had a blog post that included ProLiant Gen8 teardown videos. About 5 minutes after filming those videos I recorded a podcast with Adrian Kasbergen to learn about what is new with iLO Management Engine. As a storage guy, I really appreciated the information as it helped me to better understand the innovations built into ProLiant Gen8 that help make deploying, managing, and supporting our servers even easier.
Adrian walked me through four areas of where HP has brought some significant new features to iLO. The areas we talked about are:
- Intelligent Provisioning
- Agentless management
- Active health system (shown in the screen shot)
- Remote support
