David Scott, SVP & General Manager, HP Storage live now on #TheCUBE http://live.silicona... Join the conversation at https://www.crowdcha...
John Casaretto
Here comes Flash! - #3PAR
John Furrier
David Scott is answering the question their competitors say re: their "flash storage" offerings..he's answering the FUD live on #theCUBE
John Casaretto
There was a mention of $2/GB enterprise storage in the news. Wow
Dave Vellante
the 3PAR all flash array has a full stack - the ? everyone asks -is it a "bolt on" or a true all-flash design...
John Casaretto
'First flash array ever to be suitable' - enterprise use case 99.9999999% great tidbits in this interview
Crowd Captain
HP systems highly optimized for flash says David Scott leader of @hpstorage
John Casaretto
Are 3PAR flash arrays the answer to datacenter bottlenecks?
John Casaretto
How does HP's 'converged storage' stack into this storage portfolio
Bert Latamore
Q: What about the noisy neighbor problem?
John Furrier
Flash startups can't get escape velocity fast enough a crash is comign
Bert Latamore
They are gunning for EMC customers. Scott says customers looking to refresh their EMC Tier 1 arrays now have an alternative at attractive price, performance & 5 yr warantee.
Bert Latamore
Antonio Neri, Senior Vice President and General Manager, HP Servers live now on #TheCube.
Dave Vellante
Antonio told me off camera that the future of cloud is compute - he was kidding (sort of) but clearly storage is moving closer to the processor and the network and server are converging...there's truth to what he says
Bert Latamore
Yes, I think he is pretty much right.
John Furrier
with servers it's about compute not about boxes
Bert Latamore
And when you go to a software-defined architecture then less of the critical functdionality is on the hardware.
John Furrier
@dvellante the new apollo servers are about density and high performance and super computing
CrowdFather
@dvellante @furrier ask about Cisco touting their market share from IDC? are blades dead
John Casaretto
I wonder if Neri sees IBM selling off their server division as a big opportunity. HP has brand value that will play well
Bert Latamore
I think the system-on-a-chip concept is exciting.
John Furrier
to be a player in the new style of IT you have to be a player in the infrastructure can't outsource it - talking about IBM divesting their x86 business
Bert Latamore
When IBM sold its PC business to Lenovo HP talked about how it was #1 and they would pick up share in the market. Who is #1 now?
Bert Latamore
IBM will still be an infrastructure player. Do not underestimate Power 8
Dave Vellante
Neri used to run technology services and was part of a services and EG alignment under Dave Donatelli - who btw is officially out of HP as of two mos ago
Bert Latamore
Is HP growing its network market vs Cisco? The technology sounds terrific.
Bert Latamore
Donatelli leaving is a real shock. Was that voluntary do you think?
John Furrier
HP's strategy is based upon openstack
Bert Latamore
What's going on there? Is there a fire or are they just trying to wake people up?
John Casaretto
Neri states HP is moving away from server era to compute era.
Bert Latamore
Overall I am seeing a lot more strong corporate vision Than I did in December. And HP has some good technology and a good vision going forward. Its big handicap is that it has to do all innovation internally -- it does not yet have money for acquisitions.
Dave Vellante
I've been saying since the Leo era that HP must get back to its roots..."Invent" - Martin Fink showing a glimpse of what HP sees as the future invention of systems - photonics, massive scale, shared memory...and I presume memristor...
Dave Vellante
super fast byte addressable at massive scale
Dave Vellante
Big difference I see w/fink is he's "inventing" stuff that will be commercialized - rather than inventing for invention's sake
Dave Vellante
Big question is cost...can HP get the volumes to get costs down? with its supply chain you would think so...what about memristor? not sure it will be able to get cost down as low as flash b/c of flash of consumer volumes
Dave Vellante
Fink says HP wants to blow away the volatility chain...i.e. the I/O hierarchy - memristor is universal memory that is a massively addressable persistent store
Dave Vellante
Memristor stores data at the atomic level - flipping b/tween 0 and 1's in pico seconds and like flash using virtually no power to do so - bye bye spinning storage and complex hierarcy is the vision
Dave Vellante
HP's vision boils down to: 1/ Electrons compute; 2/ Photons communicate and 3/ Ions store
Dave Vellante
HP's Fink just announced a new open source OS optimized for non-volatile memory
Dave Vellante
Fink says this is not just a "clean sheet" OS (it is w/universities) - but in addition, HP is also building this from a Linux kernal that is stripped down...AND an Android version - cool!
Dave Vellante
HP's new invention focus is around non-volatile memories - big vision around new system design - eliminating slow spinning disk bottleneck
Bert Latamore
They have been talking about memristor for a couple of years now of course. certainly one issue is cost. Another is completely rebuilding the network infrastructure worldwide for photonics.
John Casaretto
HP is also running throughout the conference with this 'New Style of IT' - I think it's a perfect message for their audience
Bert Latamore
Yes although I would have made it just "New IT"
Bert Latamore
What Martin Fink outlined is a lot more than just a new "style". It is total new generation of technology.
Bert Latamore
And the most exciting thing about it for me is that as he said, this does not have to be a big bang. Those technologies can develop on their own timelines & if only some of them are generally adopted the impact will be huge.
John Casaretto
HP's experimental new computing architecture definitely sounds pretty incredible. Nice to see a return to invention. I want it to run in my phone - too soon?
Bert Latamore
Very much so. HP was always a big innovator. The desktop printer that Meg Whitman just cited is only one of many innovations that changed the face of technology. Glad to see that is back.
Bert Latamore
Bethany Mayer, SVP and GM, HP NFV live now on #TheCUBE http://live.silicona... Post at https://www.crowdcha...
John Furrier
Bethany Mayer is huge women in tech exec; she's a star in my mind; I'm a fan
John Casaretto
Can HP take share in the telecom carrier networking industry - big job
John Furrier
Open NFV orchestration for the cloud with virtual network functions - this is huge for HP
Bert Latamore
This is all about bringing modern technology to the large carriers.
John Casaretto
I'm curious about Bethany's department and their relationship to HP Labs - I'm thinking some technical innovations are in store.
John Casaretto
Hoping she talks about OpenNFV as well
John Furrier
Google and AWS are huge competitors to the telco providers - huge issue; this is changing quick and a big driver on the business
CrowdFather
Bethany Mayer is a geek and she has a modern view of the telco market
John Casaretto
OpenNFV vs Cisco closed platform
John Casaretto
HP has made very fast moves to be amongst the leaders in the network virtualization market. Mayer's unit is aiming to show that in the carrier biz
Bert Latamore
Bethany Meyer says her new division will be in the 100s of millions by next year from a standing start with a TAM of $24B over 10 years. And HP is the only vendor in the market.
