Around the Storage Block podcast -

I talked with Juergen Arnold about his session at SNW Europe titled Stop the hype: Enable your IT strategy for cloud. It was the best session I attended and the discussion with Juergen is interesting.

This is the first of several ATSB podcasts from SNW Europe. Chris Sopp is an HP product manager and is on the SNIA board of directors. He did a very well attended session titled "An introduction to Data Protection" and we talked about why so many people attended it.

I talked with Paul Haverfield, a principal storage technologist with HP in Asia Pacific and Japan, about the lastest HP 3PAR SPC-1 results. You can find the graphics we discussed on my blog at www.hp.com/storage/blog.

I talk to our VMware Solution Manager Mike Koponene about VMworld 2011 in Copenhagen.

Kristen Reyes talks to Shawn Nunlee, Solutions Engineer at Fusion-io and Michael Saint John, business manager for HPâ??s Solutions and Alliances

Flying home from VMworld, I was lucky to have Chief Technologist Archie Reed on the same flight and we had a quick discussion on security in the cloud.

At VMworld 2011, I caught up with Brad Katz, the product manager for the P4000 LeftHand solution, to talk about what's new with the latest release of SAN/iQ 9.5.

Beth Joseph, product manager for HP 3PAR, gave me an overview of the latest 3PAR Storage System, the P10000.

I had a second conversation with my boss - HP Storage marketing VP Craig Nunes - to drill a bit deeper into storage federation and new software Peer Motion. Craig does a great job of explaining how they work with HP Lefthand and 3PAR storage.

I finally got my boss Craig Nunes, VP of Marketing at HP Storage, on a podcast to discuss the August 23 Converged Storage announcement. We talk about storage federation and the new P10000 3PAR Storage System.

Big data has been a buzz word for several months and I thought it was time to get through the buzz and get to what's real. In this podcast, I talk to Isaac Blake about HP Vertica, a big data analytics solutions.

I have a gaggle of guests including Jay Workman from VMware talking about VMworld. We discuss tips to get the most out of the event, sessions to attend, and what to expect in the Solution Showcase (demo) area.

On my latest ATSB podcast, Dan Molina, CTO of Nth Generation, joins me to talk about Cloud Computing and the trends that he sees driving this dramatic change in IT.

HPStorageGuy talks to Converged Storage Director Lee Johns giving an overview of Converged Storage - why it's needed, what it is, and what are the benefits. Lee is on Twitter as @StorageOlogist.

In ATSB #44, I have some great guests: from VMware Duncan Epping and Frank Denneman and VMware blogger Eric Siebert. This edition is longer than most other ATSB podcast but with these great guests, it had to go long!
