What an honor this was: Steve Wozniak was at the HP Tech Forum to sign books and talk about his role as lead scientist at Fusion IO. So when he agreed to come in to the booth and talk with myself and Andy McCaskey, we were floored. Therefore, we have a 2 part interview. The […]

Do you need to improve your computing ability so you can simply be more productive? Datacenters are trying to shrink but be more powerful. Add to it a host of systems you inherit from mergers and buyouts. Legacy systems without agility and how we are caught in “Silos” are the big concerns. Customers want to […]
Rethinking your server. Last year we saw how HP was working on redesigning servers to be more Energy-efficient with enough power to grow a Datacenter, but not need any more room than what you currently have. Now it’s time to talk numbers: How upgrading your Servers can reduce cost in power, heat and even software […]

The day was long, but well worth it. I got on a plane about 5:10 this morning. The flight would take me to Chicago, where I would have to wait until 8:11 to continue on. However, problems kept us in Chicago a little longer. The plane had some technical glitch that could be fixed by […]

TCO stands for Total Cost of Ownership. One of the big points at the HP Technology Forum was how much money you can save if you update your servers.
