Hi folks! It’s getting to be that time of year again. EPIC Technology day is just around the corner!

This year it will be on April 12, 2011. We will have David Scott the former CEO of 3Par and now the HP Senior VP for StorageWorks as the keynote speaker. Unless you’ve been hiding under a rock, you know that 3Par was one of the larger acquisitions in the IT world this year.

Make sure you come down and hear what David Scott and all the other presenters have to say. You can register on the EPIC web site as per usual.

Battle of the storage!

Hi folks! So as you know there was an all out bidding war for 3PAR where HP and Dell were concerned.

Well now Dell has purchased Compellent. How much? Apparently to the tune of $820 million. This was a much cheaper deal than the 3PAR acquisition. The questions is, will they be able to leverage it as good as they could have 3PAR? It’s not secret to anyone that 3PAR was Dell’s first choice.

Compellent has a “compelling” solution, pardon the pun, but 3PAR with their storage offerings and HP backing them, will not take this battle lying down. It should be interesting to see how the storage battle plays out this year.

HP and 3PAR

Hi folks! So unless you have been hiding under a rock, you know that earlier this year HP acquired 3PAR. What is 3PAR?

3PAR is one of the leading storage vendors in the enterprise market today. Their solutions are perfect for virtualization and the cloud strategy. With HP’s acquisition, they are perfectly poised to knock out the competition with the 3PAR offering.
