Meet Connect and Nina Buik

While at HP Discover last week, I made sitting down with Nina to do a video about Connect a high priority.  In the video, here's what Nina and I discuss:

  • What is Connect?
  • What are the primary benefits for Connect end-users?
  • What is the biggest issue Connect is dealing with for their membership?

More on the HP VirtualSystem

Today on the blog I have two videos highlighting the newly announced HP VirtualSystem.  This was launched at HP Discover last week.  The second video is particularly interesting as I talked with Adam Provost, a solution architect who gives an overview and also compares the HP VirtualSystem to EMC/Cisco vBlock.
