What is the IQ of your storage infrastructure?

[CalvinZito]

In early March, I recorded a podcast with Sandeep Singh, VP of HPE Storage Marketing, and our topic of discussion was the importance of intelligence in storage infrastructure. I hadn't published that podcast here on ATSB yet, so I thought it was a good time to do that.

I also wrote an article summarizing what we talked about for Connect, the independent HPE technology user group. If you'd rather read than listen to a 25 minute podcast, this article is a very good summary of the podcast. By the way, if you're not a Connect member, I highly encourage you to join. Learn more at http://www.connect-community.org/. 

Sandeep has written several articles on ATSB that you can check out to get a better understanding of his perspective. Be sure to read to the bottom of the blog post as I also have a link for a webinar on May 19th with Sandeep, when he will be discussing using data to accelerate your recovery from the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic,  and how best to prepare for what comes next.

Here is the podcast with Sandeep that will open in a new browser window .  If you want to download the MP3, you can also do that.

Join Sandeep in a May 19th webinar

Sandeep is joining my friends at ActualTechMedia on a webinar on May 19. The title of this webinar is Using Data to Accelerate Your Recovery and Prepare for What Comes Next.  I think it will be a good opportunity to hear from Sandeep about the importance of data in the wake of COVID-19.
