This week the storage blog-o-tweet-osphere lit up like a Christmas tree with glowing reports from HP Tech Day–or #HPTechDay as it was known on Twitter. Something of a misnomer, it was in fact two tech days. Held at the company’s Colorado Springs facility, the event was proof that HP has recognized the power of blogging to get its message across.
The event seems to have electrified the bloggers, who were particularly impressed by the evolution of HP’s EVA line. Even the normally critical Nigel Poulton wrote on his Ruptured Monkey blog that the event convinced him that HP does “get” storage–a complete 180 from his previous opinion. Wow.
For a nice roundup, HP’s Calvin Zito has assembled all the links to blog posts thus far recounting the two-day event thus far. And the latest breaking post is from Storage Nerve, Devang Panchigar, who has included video in his coverage.
Here’s the list of the smart guys (and one gal!) that attended from the blogging camp. (Thanks to Rich Brambley, from whom I have stolen this information.) If you’re interested in learning more about storage, these are some of the best folks to follow on Twitter and regularly read:
