This announcement is a big step forward toward an autonomous data center. I have a ChalkTalk that talks more about what's new and why it's important. Now we are leveraging the data science expertise from HPE Nimble Storage and 3PAR customers with a support contract can take advantage of HPE InfoSight. 3PAR was architected for analytics and has been collecting rich telemetry from the installed base for years. InfoSight requires platforms that are built with rich telemetry.

HPE InfoSight is a predictive analytics system that processes millions of sensor data points every second from across the infrastructure stack. Read on to understand what I'm talking about. The news is about HPE Nimble Storage but what I'm going to share extends beyond Nimble Storage or even storage. I found a YouTube video of Trevor – though a couple years old – talking about how he uses 3PAR. Trevor Jackson from SOCAN and Connect Board Secretary wrapped up the session talking about using 3PAR all-flash.

I then discussed the news about HPE InfoSight that I’ll cover next in this article. I did a podcast with H2 about a year ago where he told his story. Former board member and current Connect volunteer Heinz-Hermman Adam from the University of Muenster kicked it off talking about his environment using HPE 3PAR and StoreEasy for file-based storage. I tried to do a rough count and I counted around 50 people. The crowds we had at the DF were amazing considering that only 13 people can sign up for it on the Discover event website.

I wanted to share a bit about Discover and share the news with you as well. Connect is the independent users group for HPE customers. I had the chance to present some exciting news in the Connect booth during a Discussion Forum (DF). If you follow me on Twitter, you know I had a fantastic time in Madrid. I’m back from a great week at HPE Discover in Madrid.
