Day 1 of HP Discover Vienna is a wrap and thanks to the power of social media, there's no shortage of coverage for those of us who aren't attending the show. Information optimization and the Instant-On Enterprise were just a few of the hot topics covered today at the event. Here's a quick recap thanks to some great videos and coverage from HP bloggers:

And, here's what some HP bloggers are saying about day one at HP Discover Vienna:

 

Cloud Computing:

Should Big Data Reside in the Cloud by Christian Verstraete
Is big data the next hype? Should big data reside in the cloud? And what can we use big data for? Well, first of all realize that 85% of data is unstructured, and as such quite difficult to search through. It's also growing at a staggering 1.8 Zettabytes a year. We need new technologies, new approaches.

 

Cloud at HP Discover Vienna by Christian Verstraete
This week more than 7000 HP customers and partners are joining us at HP Discover in Vienna. This is our yearly event and you can bet that cloud computing will be center stage. Christian Verstraete lifts the curtain a little to tell you some of the things not to miss.

 

B2B or B2C for cloud services? Does it matter by Christian Verstraete
In a recent discussion about trust and transparency in public cloud, the need to separate between B2B and B2C cloud services came up. Christian Verstraete is digging a little deeper into the topic.

 

IT Performance Suite:

Community versus conference – why atoms trump electrons by Paul Muller
Paul Muller is at HP's Discover user conference in Vienna and as day one draws to a close he has already been engaged in conversations with IT leaders from around the planet in a way that, no matter how hard he tries, doesn't seem to be the same as being "online."

 

Optimize IT performance with 4 big announcement from HP Discover Vienna by Paul Muller
Paul Muller is meeting with customers, talking to colleagues and making as many videos as humanly possible at HP Discover Vienna. He’s also talking about HP’s 4 big announcements.

 

Security:

Security in the Next Big Thing by Rafal Los
Rafal Los is excited about what's being announced over the next 3 days at HP Discover - but perhaps even more importantly, what this means to him as a security specialist.

 

Storage:
Hello HP StoreOnce B6200 Backup System podcast by Calvin Zito
Just before leaving for Vienna and HP DISCOVER, HP’s Calvin Zito talked with Jay Livens about the HP StoreOnce B6200 Backup System. Jay manages all of our backup products for the Americas. It's a good overview podcast of the B6200.
