Randy Meyer, HP, at HP Discover Barcelona 2013 with John Furrier and Dave Vellante
Dave Vellante and John Furrier brought theCUBE to Europe, covering the 2013 edition of HP Discover Conference in Barcelona. Broadcasting live from Fira Barcelona GranVia, theCUBE co-hosts put the spotlight on the top tech athletes attending the event, covering several current trends in the tech business.
One of the key guests, Randy Meyer, VP & GM of HP Integrity Servers, discussed the new features in HP's portfolio, the challenges and the future vision of the company.
"Server market share is looking good right now," assessed Furrier, and Meyer agreed: "We're actually seeing significant improvements and that's a testament to great products, great technology and great execution."
Integrity Servers and HP-UX
"One of the greatest things about coming here at this event is getting to interact with our customers face to face, and hear about what they want to do. Unix customers want to take risk out of their business. IT is what drives their business and customers see three times the performance improvement compared to previous generations."
Furrier admitted discussing off-camera with his co-host, Dave Vellante, about the old becoming new again: "System Management is back in, the Unix system is back, so is the mindset of large scale clustered computing. The mainframe never went away, and now the software mainframe is actually the cloud."
"Everything old is new again is exactly right," agreed Meyer. "As everyone's got a mobile device which can be turned into a payment device, Always on, Mission Critical, serve the customer 24/7 equipment is way back in style."
Talking in depth about the business
"The UNIX business focused on lots of different customers, from the smallest kind of businesses to the biggest.
The non-stop piece focused on some specific business applications: 1) Payments -- if you make a payment anywhere in the world, chances are it's going to go through a non-stop system; 2) Mobile phones -- over 400 million subscribers around the world; their mobile phones run on a non-stop system on the backend. If that system is not running, your phone doesn't work. 3) Reservation Systems; 4) High-end transaction systems
The scale-up X86 business is really fascinating -- it's where the world is moving to for a variety of applications, and there's two different business models here. You see people like SAP putting big focus on in-memory data base -- you need large memory footprint for that, large core footprint, and huge I/O because there's still storage behind that. We've designed some appliances and some engineered solutions for SAP HANA where we can go build large scale systems and doing some exciting work around that, up into the 24 TB of memory footprints," explained Meyer.
