This week I’ll be attending IP Expo, which has probably become the UK’s biggest IT event. You can find more details out at the IP Expo Website, but if you’re quick, entry is free.
I’ll be there both days and I’m pretty busy with vendor briefings, but if you are going, drop me [...]
I don’t talk about company acquisitions too often but I can’t let the purchase of BlueArc by HDS pass me by without adding my opinion. First of all, for those of you who don’t know, BlueArc sells NAS hardware which has been resold by HDS for some years under the HNAS brand. The hardware comes [...]
I have to admit I was quite shocked to read on holiday that HP had decided to kill off the Touchpad and webOS after what can only be 2 months since launch. In fact at HP Discover 2011 in June, the Touchpad was centre-stage in all presentations, forming a consistent presentation layer for accessing Enterprise [...]
Day 4 of any conference is pretty much one of reflection and consolidation; 4 days of early starts and late nights (especially when tied with serious jet lag) start to take their toll. However all the hard work is worth it when you have one of those “light bulb” moments and the signs of a [...]
In this second podcast from HP Discover 2011, I chat to Devang Panchigar, blogger at storagenerve.com and Enrico Signoretti, blogger at juku.it. We discuss HP’s Converged Infrastructure offerings and how they match up to others in the marketplace.
It’s tempting to use hackneyed phrases like “drinking from a firehose” but without a doubt the first day at HP Discover 2011 was loaded with information and news. For bloggers and press, the day started off with a presentation by many of HP’s senior staff, including Dave Donatelli and David Scott. We learned that EVA [...]
I’m now in Las Vegas, ready for the start of HP Discover 2011, the annual forum showcasing HP’s products and service offerings. Compared to previous HP events I’ve attended, this one is larger and more structured from a blogger perspective. There are 24 blogger attendees (listed below) including myself. Some of these people are old [...]
It will hardly have escaped anyone’s attention that EMC World is taking place this week in Las Vegas. Although I’m not attending this year I have been following the press releases. Probably the most interesting so far has been that around flash technology, something EMC announced at EMC World 2009 would have huge adoption in [...]
After a busy day in London I returned home to read the news of issues in one of Amazon’s US data centre locations causing problems with EC2 and database (RDS) instances. It seems the services of many Internet companies were affected including Reddit, Quora, Hootsuite and FourSquare, Is it [...]
During the recent HDS Bloggers’ Day we were lucky enough to have a presentation from Dave Merrill, who covered the subject of Storage Economics. You can find more of Dave’s work on his blog; The Storage Economist.
Within HDS Dave runs the Storage Economics practice; an area of the [...]
