Tech Forum
Register for the HP Tech Forum 2010, Las Vegas June 21 - 24th
In recent months, HP has accelerated innovation to address IT sprawl and ballooning data complexity straining today's enterprise businesses. At the HP Technology Forum, HP subject matter experts and strategists will make the case for Converged Infrastructure, the standards-based, integrated solutions and services driving the data center of the future. Special sessions will include: 1455: Executive Showcase - An Overview of Converged Infrastructure in Action 1909: Convergence Without Compromise - HP Virtual Connect 1894: Applying Converged Infrastructure in Hybrid Computing Environments - Including the Cloud 1423: HP Converged Infrastructure Unleashes Next-generation Oracle Technologies 1633: Storage for the HP Converged Infrastructure In 2001, DreamWorks Animation and HP formed a innovation partnership to explore the creative frontier where film arts and technology meet. Hear from the CEO and Director of DreamWorks Animation about the collaboration that has redefined the art of filmmaking. Completely redesigned, the 2010 Expo has a sharp new look and layout for showcasing technologies, solutions, and services from over 90 of the world's leading IT companies. Take your first look during the Welcome Reception on Monday night! Developed by technical people for technical people, the HP Technology Forum has evolved as IT increasingly drives business differentiation and competitive advantage. To balance the hands-on labs, solution overview, and technical deep-dives, this year's conference offers a dedicated Business Track. Sessions will focus on technology implementation and integration, plus reducing complexity, resource requirements, and costs in order to shift IT budget toward innovation. Special topics: data de-duplication, sustainable IT, migration issues, cloud computing, security, business continuity, and more. Headlining each of the 2010 technology tracks, Super Sessions will feature HP strategists and subject matter experts providing context for breakouts in this year's key technology areas. In addition to discussing emerging IT trends, presenters will talk about critical challenges to overcome for optimal returns on technology investments. Plus, you'll hear the inside story on HP innovations to address these challenges. In addition to presentations by some of today's IT thought leaders, general sessions will also feature performances by two of today's comedy greats! Jake Johannsen: A favorite on the Late Show with David Letterman, Johannsen's talent as a comedian, writer, and actor has been celebrated by People Magazine and the American Comedy Awards. Jim Gaffigan: One of the best-known comedians today, Gaffigan co-authored Pale Force for NBC.com with Conan O'Brien and has acted in high-profile shows including That 70's Show, Sex and the City, and Law & Order. This year all of the 40+ hands-on labs will be co-located in a single hall, making it easier for you to participate in more of these popular sessions. Individual sessions fill up quickly, so log in to the Session Scheduler early to take your pick and reserve your place. The 2010 roster of 2-hour labs includes: 1367: Understanding the EVA internal architectural structure 1369: Building an On Demand Private Cloud 1426: HP Storage Essentials SRM 1429: Managing Virtual Machines in the network Browse the other hands-on labs in the Public Catalog. New this year, you may submit requests for one-to-one meetings with HP subject matter experts directly via the Session Scheduler. If you've already registered, log in to see a complete list of HP participants and request a meeting. Also, we've moved THE Party! to Wednesday night so more attendees will have a chance to enjoy the phenomenal performers lined up for this year's event: the Goo Goo Dolls and Roger Daltrey! Let me know if you have any questions about HP Tech Forum. I'll be there, let me know if you will be too. Thanks for reading - Kristie Popp @PoppAtHP | ![]() |

HP TCO challenge tool from the Tech Forum floor
Question: So what's the HP TCO challenge tool?
Answer: The TCO challenge tool, provided by independent analyst Alinean, Inc., lets you input your IBM mainframe configuration and receive a customized report. It will summarize your three-year total cost of ownership compared with a recommended HP platform. See how you can support the same services, yet reduce operational costs.
At HP Tech Forum 2009, I had the opportunity to meet with HP's Brian Cox and Alvina Nishimoto from the Integrity team. The TCO challenge tool was featured right at the front of the HP area in Tech Forum display area, with huge number savings displaying on the brightest , biggest and boldest screen. With the biggest baddest numbers.
Brian & Alvina also shared a cool, fun quick reference in a spinning wheel with me.
I asked Brian & Alvina what the tool was really about. They replied with it being "an easy to use tool, informative, a great place to start a conversation on what HP can provide for mission-critical servers ". The "numbers in the tool are pre-populated so that you can easily just start playing around with the figures". They also mentioned this tool is great to spark ideas the customers may not have had, cost-savings initiatives and other technology not in place. Gaining knowledge from this tool is good to do before setting up to meet with HP experts, as it can lead you to different choices you may not have thought of before.
Want to try it yourself? Of course you do...

Tech Forum
Continued ramblings of a displaced Englishman – A layman’s view of Tech Forum 2009 day 3
by Chris Purcell
This is my last full day at Tech Forum 2009 and I elected to split the day in half and send the morning in further breakout sessions and the afternoon on the exhibit floor. Energy was still high when I looked around attendees that were having breakfast, although starting the sessions at 8.00 am in Vegas was probably pushing it for some. Okay, off to the breakout sessions.
The first one I attended was HP Commercial Notebook overview hosted by Brian Allen HP (Product Manager)
Luggables to laptops to Notebooks have been with us for many years and have now become such a commodity I am not sure what we would do without them. I really enjoy my new iPhone but have still to master the tiny keyboard. What Brian updated us on today was the latest trends HP is building into it's commercial notebooks.
- HP notebooks are starting to offer Quad core chipsets into their mobile workstations
- Express Card is starting to replace old standards PC Card and PCMCIA
- Solid State hard drives are staring to emerge
- eSATA equates to a really fast USB drive
- GOBI - a mobile module accepting multiple types of Sim cards integrated into the notebook
- The new Dream Color monitors, developed in association with DreamWorks. These displays have a highly accurate color engine that displays up to 15 million color – this is a amazing display on a notebook
- QuickLook2 feature allows a user instant (10 seconds) access to a cached version of Outlook without having to book the machine
Session 2 was Six Core AMD Opteron processor hosted by Travis Justilian of AMD
Travis walked us though AMD’s new chip offering (Istanbul) that released in early June and you can see them being offered in the new G6 HP ProLiant servers. The Istanbul chip sets have embedded Hyper Transport technology (HT) which improves processor through put. Travis’ analogy of HT was “it’s like handing the processor with a pair of tweezers so it can pluck out the exact data to process”
- AMD-P suite has AMD Power Cap technology and AMD Cool Core which allows certain parts of the chip to be cooled
- AMD has made a 14x performance gain from first chip in 2003 to where they are now with Opteron in 2009.
My last session of the morning was HP’s Adaptive Infrastructure Maturity model hosted by Russ Wagner
This was a really interesting session, but one that many people appeared to have missed. I liken AI being put in place to battle urban sprawl and trying to replace it with a Master Planned community. Datacenters rarely have the luxury of being build from scratch and as they grow as does the complexity of how they need to be managed. Urban sprawl is probably not the best term, but I think it illustrates the point. The value of Adaptive Infrastructure is to drive consistent building blocks across business enterprises to make them easier to manage and maintain.
Okay back to the session with Russ. AIMM (Adaptive Infrastructure Maturity Model) helps determine opportunities to decrease your IT costs while decreasing your IT costs while increasing overall data center efficiency. It is a well established process for working through a structured path to identify real value and opportunity. These workshops working with teams like Russ, take about 4 hours going through a 50 questions questionnaire. It’s worth taking a look to understand Adaptive Infrastructure better as I really think it is one of HP's best kept secrets.
As I mentioned earlier, I elected to spend the afternoon on the show floor, which for me was having the ability of discussing many of the topics I had heard about in the earlier breakout session and in the keynotes. It’s interesting to hear about new technology in a presentation, but even more interesting to see it in action. I had a chance to go back and visit Brian Allen and actually see the mobile workstation Dream Color display that was shows 15 million colors. Clearly worth a see (no pun intended). Also, something I had not mentioned earlier where the large format printer that HP also had on the floor. All very impressive. I got a chance to see the see the new ProLiant G6 product line, as well and the recently launched SL 6000 extreme scale out server.
The afternoon turned out to be a little mind numbing and could have used more time, but I really enjoyed myself.
