Focusing on predictive: HPE InfoSight podcast

What is predictive? And why is it important? 

Predictive with HPE InfoSight blog.jpgIn a recent post, I shared a ChalkTalk that looked at the Hewlett Packard Enterprise Storage Point of View (POV).  I talked about the three pillars of the POV:

  1. Predictive
  2. Timeless
  3. Cloud ready

Today I want to focus on the predictive pillar. The key to what we're doing around predictive is HPE InfoSight. I have a podcast with a couple of people who I could talk to for hours on the topic:

  • Rod Bagg is the VP of Analytics and Customer Support. I'd say he is the "father" of InfoSight.
  • David Wang is Director of Product Marketing and is focused on InfoSight. 

Here's what we covered in the podcast:

  • 00:00 - 01:00 Introductions
  • 01:00 - 04:25 What customer challenges were you trying to address with InfoSight
  • 04:25 - 06:50 What results are customers seeing with InfoSight
  • 06:50 - 09:50 How has InfoSight transformed customer support
  • 09:50 - 13:10 What is the new InfoSight Recommendations Engine
  • 13:10 - 16:30 What sets HPE InfoSight apart from what competitors
  • 16:10 - 21:00 Extending InfoSight to 3PAR and beyond
  • 21:00 - 23:15 How will InfoSight continue to improve support
  • 23:15 - 24:35 Vision for an autonomous data center
  • 23:25 - 26:00 Wrap-up

I talked to a long-time HPE Storage engineer yesterday who is part of the 3PAR PEAK team that Rod talked about in the podcast. Wiley Thrasher has a long history working with storage device management and he gave me a bit of a tour of InfoSight for 3PAR. After spending about an hour giving me a tour, I want to do a few demo videos to show you some tips and tricks so that's something I've added to my to-do list!
