The 2012 HP Pathways to the Cloud Road Show, Dallas

I attended the Dallas event of the 2012 HP Pathways to the Cloud Road Show, and I came away more knowledgeable about the way HP has been able to meld their vast offerings into a coherent series of solutions that enable easy onramps to the cloud.

This cloud roadshow is intended to show partners how to leverage either their existing infrastructure, or their HP partnership into creating the cloud solution, be it public, private, or hybrid, that best suits their business needs.

From the keynote onwards, we were led through informational sessions where featured HP products, the PDlogo_FINALnew and impressive Gen8 series of Proliant servers, the amazing 3PAR storage monsters, and the incredibly affordable and reliable HP Networking products were presented as part of a holistic whole than can be put together to act in symphony according to a user’s desire.

I was able to capture part of the presentation in the video below. (A word of caution: it is about two hours long!)

Video blogger Jake Luddington was at hand, and he was able to snag HP Cloud Advisor Charlie Bess into giving him a couple of interviews.

I am trying to free up some time to attend the Denver leg of the Road Show, as I would like to imbibe all the info disseminated at the ISS Proliant Gen8 Deep Dive.
