How HP Champions Modern Storage Needs
Jan 23rd
The Internet has evolved from a virtual buffet of content to a hyper-connected network of people and things creating massive amounts of information. Businesses continue to struggle finding ways to store all this data in a way that makes it available anywhere and anytime it’s needed.
Historically, adding storage space was measured in the number of devices and the capacity of the media. From tape, to floppies, to optical media, to hard drives, to USB drives… storage technology continues to improve and the prices continue to drop. The market for storage is expected to rise to $37.3 billion by 2015, according to forecasts by analyst firm IDC. But there never seems to be enough.
The modern trend of what IDC calls the “slow and deliberate,” use of cloud-based storage has created a different paradigm – one that challenges those managing information on the Internet. People around the world create 2.5 quintillion bytes of data every day. And the company estimates that 90% of all data in the world was created in the last two years.
To keep up, businesses have been forced to act like squirrels preparing for winter, putting bits of personal and public customer information hither and thither, loosely tied together as a patchwork of devices and services. Too often, companies complain that storing information online is limited by the boundaries between providers, an inability to react to growing demands and services that are complex to manage and slow to install.
This is why companies like Hewlett-Packard have adopted a multi-layered approach that simplifies the process of storage for business. HP’s Converged Storage Systems and Services takes advantage of the trends of storage technologies to provide an easy method for application integration, virtualized infrastructure and cloud services.
The suite’s current lineup includes
- HP 3PAR StoreServ Storage
- HP StoreOnce Backup with StoreOnce Catalyst
- HP StoreAll Storage
- HP StoreVirtual Storage
- HP StoreEasy Storage
- HP StoreVirtual VSA
HP Storage Addresses Big Data
Even before the inclusion of magnetic-card storage in the HP 9100A desktop calculator (personal computer) in 1968, Hewlett-Packard used storage media to address the data being created by its business customers. The latest technology trend of so-called Big Sata has put unprecedented pressure on storage strategies and technologies. It’s also delivering unprecedented benefits to the companies of all sizes that are able to leverage Big Data with systems on site or in the cloud.
For example, the HoneyBaked Ham company uses a consolidated suite of HP storage systems to track customer data and transactions. The company reports improved performance in creating reports and providing information to executives.
Other sectors taking advantage of HP’s storage suite include healthcare, media and entertainment, financial services and public sector industries.
HP Storage Taps Into The Cloud
As cloud computing has emerged as a basic networking practice, more and more content is stored in virtualized, interconnected storage devices. Not only does this make it possible to access massive files from anywhere at any time, it also makes storage more affordable, efficient and easier to manage.
One customer that knows about accessing massive files is Hostworks, which used HP’s cloud computing storage products to assist Australia’s Special Broadcasting Service (SBS) in its tracking of fan traffic during the 2010 FIFA World Cup. Using HP’s cloud service, Hostworks recorded 1.5 million unique visitors, more than 25 million page impressions and two million video views as well as tracking matches and featuring up-to-the-minute information on the competition.
HP Storage Empowers The Datacenter
Converged storage systems don’t sit under the desktop, they support large data centers, storage arrays, and dedicated data stores. Providing timely access to information has become paramount for companies and storage service providers alike. One of the latest trends is to use solid-state devices to supplement datacenter storage to speed up all applications by replacing or augmenting memory caches. HP is no stranger here, having championed solid-state drives since 1993 with the advent of the HP Omnibook 300.
More recent implementations of SSD drives have helped companies maximize the effectiveness of their existing datacenters. For example, Priceline.com – one of the world’s largest online hotel reservation and travel services – doubled its datacenter capacity and service speeds with HP’s converged storage products. More compact HP hardware with solid-state storage and HP software to manage the systems was installed, resulting in a 65% decrease in the space needed to run the storage array.
As trends go, storage has never been sexy, even by enterprise IT standards. But it’s importance in handling new technology trends such as Big Data, cloud computing and virtualization – as well as its ability to make datacenters more efficient – cannot be ignored. Hewlett-Packard’s Converged Storage Systems and Services has helped thousands of enterprise IT leaders make their companies leaner, more agile and more efficient. Enterprise storage needs are unlikely to become smaller, or less important, so it’s important to know that companies like HP are already working to meet those requirements.

What Gangnam Style’s 1 Billion Views Say About Modern Society
Dec 24th
Sometime last night, Gangnam Style made YouTube history – yet again – by reaching one billion total views. The march to this digital milestone hasn’t been quiet: it’s been surrounded with hysterical speculation about what the video’s incredible popularity “all means for society.”
I am here to tell you that everything is going to be okay. Society is still fine, and Psy’s one billion views on Gangnam Style is not a sign of the Apocalypse as many feared this week. Nor is it a sign our society is turning into “Idiocracy” or drugs and meaningless babble, as Bill O’Reilly suggested last month.
Gangnam Style and its success is simply a byproduct of our interconnected digital world as told through video, digital culture in the form of memes and GIFs, and last but not least, how music now spreads in the form of YouTube videos.
Parodies Pay The Bills
As a music video, Gangnam Style is colorful, irreverent and awe-inspiring in its wackiness. Like any good viral video, Gangnam Style put bread on the table for do-it-yourself YouTube content creators in the form of countless parodies and mashups - some of these collected a million views on their ow, earning their creators a pretty penny. A good parody video is the YouTube equivalent of movie review or essay by an esteemed writer, if you will, and the sheer number of parodies is a good gauge of how effectively the original video captured the cultural zeitgeist.
Put another way, YouTubers love doing videos about Gangnam Style because it makes them money, and parodies and mashup videos feed the hype machine.
That Absurd Global Culture
The images in Psy’s music video feel familiar to Western audiences; the little kid dancing like Michael Jackson, sexy ladies doing yoga and all the references to Hollywood movie tropes like walking into the wind or away from explosions. This familiarity simply means we now have a shared, global culture – one that Gangnam Style was able to reference with an appropriate level of absurdity. You can laugh both at Psy and with Psy.
Despite this familiarity, though, Gangnam Style still maintains a certain exoticism, which is a good thing to non-Koreans. Sharing a good music video with your friends is one thing, but sharing a popular music video from another country? You’re now “worldly.”
Singing In Korean: An International Novelty
In fact, Gangnam Style’s “Koreanness” likely helped its spread; the video required decoding and gave those that understood the secret meanings a bit of a superiority complex. It was no accident The Atlantic’s ”Gangnam Style, Dissected: The Subversive Message Within South Korea’s Music Video Sensation” is one of the most popular posts on the site, referenced by almost anyone writing seriously about Gangnam Style.
For people not interested in decoding “Gangnam Style,” the foreign language lets listeners project whatever they want onto the song, again broadening the appeal. And don’t forget the explosion of K-pop in Western cultures.
“Time [Magazine] needs to switch from “Person Of The Year” to “GIF Of The Year” to stay relevant,” tweeted Media Matters Simon Maloy a few days ago, and he has a point. 2012 was the year of the GIF, and Gangnam Style was incredibly GIFable. It’s hard to say which there are more of, Gangnam Style parody videos, or Gangnam Style GIFs? Either way, GIFS have become the go-to form of expression among many Internet users.
The Dance
Remember the Macarena? It swept the globe in the mid-90′s and is still a crowdpleaser at weddings. Gangnam Style is just like that, except instead of multiple steps, you ride an invisible horse and occasionally attempt to lasso the air. Its inherent ridiculousness makes people laugh and have a good time doing it.
YouTube: The Poor Man’s Juke Box
Back in August, media outlets were shocked to learn that two-thirds of teens in the United States use YouTube as their primary method of listening to and discovering new music, primarily because it is free. Many people no longer purchase music, they just play the songs they want to hear through YouTube. Music is the dominant traffic driver to YouTube, as brand and marketing analytics company ChannelMeter kindly displays in the pie chart below.
Finally, remember what Gangnam Style topped to become the most viewed video; Justin Bieber’s Baby. Baby had so many views because tween girls were slapping the “repeat” button over and over again. People were also hitting that button for Gangnam Style. At t least I was, as I was not about to pay money to listen to it.
Gangnam Style is not unique. Look for its YouTube record to be broken soon enough by another musician, with another catchy pop song and dance. That’s the YouTube way.
