HP StorageWorks Tech Day March 29 -30, 2010
March 27th, 2010 | 
Author: I’ve been invited to another blogger event by HP, so I’m looking forward to returning to Houston, TX this coming week. The HP StorageWorks Tech Day will begin on Monday 3/29 and end Tuesday 3/20 afternoon. This time HP will show off how their StorageWorks team and products contribute to their Converged Infrastructure strategy. Regular readers may recall that the first HP event I was a part of was the 2009 StorageWorks Tech Day in Colorado Springs last fall. It was a great event then and I expect the same this time too.
Look for my usual coverage with quick photo videos, eventually my full photo album, and a few posts here on VM /ETC. I might even follow fellow attendee John Obeto’s lead and try out a live blogging service and widget. We’ll see.
I want to thank the folks at Ivy World Wide, Calvin Zito, and everyone involved at HP for putting another event together for us right on the heals of the HP Blades Event just few weeks ago.
To see our event agenda go to the official Event Web Page.

There’s a Monday Night TweetUp open to the public, so if you are in the Houston area RSVP and come say hello Monday night.

Here’s more specific event details and the list of bloggers attending as taken from the blog of HP’s Calvin Zito:
HP StorageWorks Tech Day – one more time!
“Well, I couldn’t be more excited to tell you we’re doing it again. This time, the location is our HP facility in Houston, Texas. Starting next Monday and running through mid-day Tuesday, we’ll gather with nine well known bloggers and give them an insiders view of HP StorageWorks. Over the course of the two days, we’ll have StorageWorks executives and engineers to talk about :
- How does StorageWorks fit into the HP Converged Infrastructure?
- Where is technology going and how will HP take advantage of that? Our CTO Paul Perez presented at the recent BladeSystem Tech Day will give this presentation and I’m really looking forward to him having a bigger time slice to talk technology futures.
- Demos and technical discussions on several of our key products
- Tours of our product labs in Houston”
