We take being your technology resource seriously, which is why we have
an intense focus on continuing education. From staying up to date on
certifications to attending conferences, our goal is to provide you the
latest information and best practices so you can focus on your business.

Most recently, we attended HPE Discover 2018 —an annual
technology showcase event for business and IT professionals to learn,
connect, and grow. HPE Discover 2018 signaled a new chapter for HPE as CEO Antonio Neri took the stage. Neri’s background is grounded in the technical side of the house and based on his talks throughout the conference, we will see this background serving as a foundation for HPE’s future. You can see his opening general session presentation here.

Another highlight was being able to hear Gary Stewart, systems specialist at Lubrizol, speak about how to Be Ready for Anything with HPE 3PAR Storage. Gary shared Lubrizol’s experience working with HPE InfoSight and how the technology helped resolve a major problem with their storage area
network and VDI (Virtual Desktop) environment. You can download Gary’s slide deck
here.

We have provided some highlights from HPE Discover 2018 for you if you were unable to attend. We will also be hosting a Tech Talk on July 25 at 11 a.m. with HPE to discuss the Next Generation of IT. In this Tech Talk we’ll be talking about the impact of comsumption-based IT with HPE GreenLake and PointNext. You can register here.
