HP Tech Day: HP 3PAR and file-based portfolio

The next article from our HP Tech Day in Ft. Collins includes notes from the HP 3PAR session and the file-based family overview.  Along with notes taken during the session are embedded videos courtesy of Jeffery Powers (www.geekazine.com)

X9000 IBRIX application notes you can use

Just before our holiday break started Tim Thomas, one of my X9000 IBRIX technical specialists, sent me an email pointing to a few X9000 Network Storage System application notes so today I have a short post to point you at these. 

 

While I'm still off until next week, I did take a look at these and thought they'd be helpful so here they are.  The titles are self-explanatory:

Updates to the X9000 IBRIX Scale-out NAS solution

Today, I'll give you an overview of the X9000 IBRIX Network Storage System with Patrick Osborne.  Whenever I have X9000 questions, Patrick is the expert I turn to.  He was with IBRIX four years and now has been working on the solution for 6 years. 

 

Converged Infrastructure Announcement from HP DISCOVER

Today is a big day in HP Storage - one I've waited a long time for.  We made several announcements today at HP DISCOVER - my blog today is a Power Podcast (podcast with PowerPoint slides) with Tom Joyce, VP of Marketing, Operations, and Strategy at HP Storage.  Tom and I discuss the storage pieces of the announcement.

 

Deeper dive on the HP 3PAR news from yesterday

Today post as my title states is a deeper dive than I took yesterday on our HP 3PAR news.  I'm not going to even try to summarize it in this short teaser so if you're reading this from an RSS feed or on my blog summary page, please check out the blog post - I think you'll find it well worth your time.

Push the ball forward with HP Converged Infrastructure

Today is a big news day at HP storage.  I'm trying a new format that I'm calling a power podcast - a podcast with slides.  Here's part 1 (but as always, you should click on the "read more..." or title of this post to get more details):

Checkout the 3parfarley's screencast on EMC buying Isilon

CartoonCalvin100X100.JPG By Calvin Zito, aka @HPStorageGuy

My colleague Marc Farley has a very good screencast giving his analysis of EMC's proposed acquisition of Isilon.  It's titled "What was surprising about EMC's bid for Isilon".  It sounds like an episode of "Lost".  Anyway, I just wanted to point you to Marc's video.  I had a recent article on the same topic of EMC buying Isilon a couple of weeks ago too if you didn't already see that.

 

Hope those of you in the U.S. are having a great Thanksgiving weekend!  Oh, and Go Boise State!
