The team is eager to get started on June 5 and showcase the latest news and product updates to the entire community of IT professionals, partners, and end users.

I prefer listening to a panel of experts instead of just one speaker. As long as the panel has experts with different backgrounds and perspectives, I can usually obtain valuable insights that I sometimes miss in my day-to-day circle of influence. This type of interaction is why I thoroughly enjoyed the CrowdChat on cloud computing […]

Daisy Group, a digital provider of end-to-end business communications and managed services solutions in the UK, heard its customers loud and clear: they wanted public cloud. However, legacy infrastructure, a high barrier to entry, and data sovereignty concerns prevented many of them from moving to public cloud, particularly those customers in the education, healthcare, government, […]

Over the past few weeks, I’ve shared the results of a recent TechValidate data protection survey. These results demonstrate HPE SimpliVity’s dedication to data protection, disaster recovery, and peak and predictable performance for even the most mission-critical workloads. The key to HPE SimpliVity’s success in these areas is its built-in data protection. On a scale […]

Not all hyperconverged systems are created equal. 2015 was the year hyperconvergence became mainstream and it appears that 2017 is the year when the market leaders distinguish themselves from the pack.

Without these applications, the business could come to a halt and lose substantial value. It is imperative that these workloads are protected and always up […]

More and more businesses are moving to the public cloud for at least a portion of their workloads. And why shouldn’t they? It’s an attractive model – with low upfront costs and the speed and agility you could only dream about a few short years ago. Yet, many still have legitimate concerns about public cloud. […]

In part one of this blog series about HPE SimpliVity’s latest data protection stats, I talked about third-party backup solutions and how the completeness of HPE SimpliVity hyperconvergence is making them obsolete. Users are trusting HPE SimpliVity with their most important asset  ̶  their data. And they are doing so overwhelmingly, not only because the […]

How Paddy Power Betfair plc leverage APIs and Open Source automation & cloud to stay ahead of their competitors Digital Disruption is everywhere. Businesses will thrive or fail on their ability to provide new and unique customer experiences, not just as a once-off but on an ongoing basis. You’ve probably heard HPE talk about the […]

IT complexity is inevitable in the modern data center, with many IT professionals basing their careers on managing complex silos by specializing in certain areas of the IT stack (e.g., backup administrator, storage administrator). Today, many vendors and analysts are touting the advantages of simplification; however, the reality for the IT industry is that IT […]

In the IT field, most professionals are loyal to one disaster recovery method: either snapshots or backups. However, is one really superior to the other? Most traditional storage vendors will use some kind of snapshot functionality to provide a rudimentary level of data protection and then enlist the assistance of third-party backup tools to cater […]

Idioms are expressions that are used in everyday conversation to paint a mental picture of something – often expressing common knowledge or wisdom. After several recent high profile public cloud outages, one tried-and-true idiom kept popping up everywhere with numerous analysts and authors agreeing with the concept: Don’t put all your eggs in one basket.

  In my interactions with the market I run across customers, partners, and competitors all struggling to grasp what has happened over the last few years to our existing IT ecosystem.
