Unboxing the first HPE Primera and more!

[CalvinZito]

Last week, we had a blog post announcing the availability of HPE Primera. Today I'm happy to share with you a video from the first customer to get HPE Primera, BlueShore Financial. The news of BlueShore as the first HPE Primera customer is also part of a press release. 

One of the BlueShore people in the video is Ryan Burgess, Manager of Technology Infrastructure. I did a video with Ryan five years ago shortly after BlueShore adopted 3PAR in its environment. Ryan is joined in the video by BlueShore CIO Fred Cook. You gotta see this video. It's not your typical video of a customer talking about how they use a vendor's product. I'll just say that it's entertaining as well as very informative. So check it out!

Watch (or listen) and learn more

I've looked at what other videos we have focused on HPE Primera and here are several I thought it would be useful to share:

• New HPE Pimera Timeless Storage Chalk Talk.  We had a blog post on this topic a couple of weeks ago that was published before I could get the Chalk Talk done. 
• Analyze HPE 3PAR and Primera Performance with SSMC Topology Insights (demo video).
• HPE Primera The world’s most intelligent storage for mission-critical apps.  This is a light board video with a good overview of HPE Primera.  
• Get a physical look at HPE Primera in my walkthrough demo. 
• If you haven't seen my HPE Primera - Intelligent storage for mission-critical apps | Chalk Talk, it is a must watch overview of it. 
• One of the bloggers we had at Discover back in June was Enrico Signoretti. He did a podcast with an HPE Primera product manager that is very good and worth listening to. 
• I have two podcasts that I'll point you to: Architected for SCM, NVMe, and-SSDs and Designed for simplicity

As you'd expect with a new product, we have lots of resources to help. Here are more of my favorites:

• Here are all the blog posts we have on ATSB that focus on HPE Primera.
• You can pull a number of things from the HPE Primera hpe.com product page so that's also a great resource. 
• In my opinion, one of the more useful documents we have is the HPE Primera QuickSpec.
