It’s that time of year when the throngs of IT decision-makers flock to Vegas to participate in HP’s largest end user event of the year – HP Discover. Emulex is proud to sponsor the event once again this year, so come see what we have lined up as Gold sponsors.
As a founding member of the ProActive Insight Architecture program , we’ll be showcasing I/O connectivity solutions, further extending the broad support for HP storage and server offerings, spanning generations and protocols. We also have some awesome giveaways, so we hope you roll the dice to earn fantastic prizes just for stopping by. And the most fantastic prize of all? Enter to win our GRAND prize, which is a 2012 Ducati Monster motorcycle!! Or attend a breakout session and get a Starbucks gift card on the spot! And if you’re still feeling lucky, enter our drawing to win a $100 Visa gift card at the session. Details below on our two sponsor breakout sessions:
- Converged I/O for HP ProLiant Gen8 (session #BB3259 – Thursday, June 7th 11:15am): Join this interactive session with IT Brand Pulse to understand the benefits of HP converged networking, by exploring a customer’s real-world deployment. HP has just unveiled its next generation ProLiant Gen8 platform that accelerates server market transformation – in addition to being self-sufficient, this new platform is enabled with industry-leading I/O making them incredibly fast and flexible. The HP ProLiant Gen8 platform delivers a converged I/O that includes FlexFabric, Flex-10, iSCSI and Fibre Channel over Ethernet…..at the price of 10GbE.
- The benefits and best practices of using 10Gb Ethernet with VMware vSphere 5.0 (session #TB3258 – Wednesday, June 6th 2:45pm): Join Emulex and VMware for a technical discussion to help understand the effect of transitioning from 1Gb to 10Gb Ethernet. It’s no longer about speed and feeds as it requires knowledge of new network architectures and management tools in order to setup and monitor bandwidth allocation and traffic prioritization. Storage and Network architects need to have an understanding of new storage technologies, and networking features VMware brings with VMware ESXi 5.0.
We look forward to seeing you at HP Discover – stop by Emulex booth #407 in the Expo! See you in Vegas!
