What is "HP Storage" referring to?

[hpuxmagic]

I saw quite a few times on Internet, and looking for "HP Storage" skills. Would you please advice what type of storages are they referring to? I know HP has XP array, EVA, and 3par, so which one are they specifically talking about?

Appreciate your help.

I'm not sure what you saw on the internet but "HP Storage" refers to what used to be HP StorageWorks.  If you'd like a bit more details, I did an HP Storage ChalkTalk that describes our product naming (StoreOnce, StoreServ, StoreVirtual, StoreEver, etc.) but also touches on what HP Storage is.  Here's a link to the video on YouTube.

Hi hpuxmagic,

HP Storage is an umbrella term that covers pretty much everything HP does in, well, storage space. So depending on who's asking it may refer to a variety of products and technologies. Commonly though "storage" would refer to one of the block storage platforms.

Hope this helps,

Linar

This is actually from job requirements. One of required skills is "HP storage". As I mentioned in my first message, HP has multiple storage products, and they are quite different. So, I am just not sure what they are requiring.

I could ask them for details, however, I just dont want them to feel I don't know it. Plus, I wanted to prepare myself before I talk to them. that's why I post the message and ask suggestions for experts here.

I am still looking for the answer on what "HP STORAGE"  are mostly likely referring to, what the type could be? EVA, MSA, xp, PS9500, OR 3PAR?

Apologies as I didn't have time to reply to your email. There is really no way to tell you which platform they mean. Would be like trying to guess what "fruit" means on the menu. You will have to ask the waitress to know for sure and in your case you will need to ask the manager that posted the job for what they want you to manage.
