LaMills Garrett, Vish Mulchand, Pd Prasad, and Siamak Nazari

Our next stop was a deep dice into HP 3PAR.

First off, a little info to the 3PAR architecture, in this ChalkTalk by Calvin Zito.

 

Next up, a true all-star cast of HP professionals led by the gentlemen below then walked us through.

• LaMills Garret is a Global Account Segment Manager for HP Storage.
• Vish Mulchand is Director of Product Management for the HP Storage Division.
• Siamak Nazari is an HP Fellow and chief software architect with HP Storage.
• Priyadarshi (Pd) is a Sr. Product Manager at HP Storage.

My take on slides is here.

My take from all the information I have received so far.

By all indications, the strength of HP 3PAR is the foresight – research? – of having being architected from the very start for what the 3PAR founders had believed storage needed to go.

If you look at the current product lineup, you see something no other storage infrastructure can deliver: a true low-end to seriously high-end product line based on the same architecture.

These results are helped by 3PAR’s proprietary ASIC, now in generation 4, and the use of a common operating system.

The video of the process can be found by following the link below. Warning: the video is over three hours long!

To make matters much better, an apple MacBook Pro being used by one of the bloggers crashed, and had to be rebooted.

Yes, Dorothy, we rebooted a Mac.

Joy, O Joy!
