HPE acquisition alert: AI, Big Data and MapR

[CalvinZito]

This will be a short blog post pointing you to a new podcast episode, #264 in my Around the Storage Block podcast. On August 5th, HPE announced the acquisition of MapR business assets. In the podcast, I talk to Patrick Osborne, VP and GM of Big Data and AI in HPE Storage about Big Data and AI and how MapR fits into what HPE is doing around AI and Big Data.

One other podcast related note and I mention this at the beginning of the podcast. Our ATSB Podcast was named one of the 8 top data storage podcasts in the industry that you should listen to by SolutionReview.com. There's only one other vendor podcast listed, from my friends at VMware. The rest our all people I have met through the years of being part of the storage community. I'm honored to have been included in the list.
