Calvin Zito, noted blogger and storage and social media expert for HP at HP Discover 2015 with Dave Vellante and Jeff Frick Storage, social media expert sees positives in HP split https://siliconangle.com/2015/07/31/storage-social-media-expert-sees-positives-in-hp-split-hpdiscover/ The HP split into two companies — HP Inc., for personal systems and printing, and HP Enterprise, for technology infrastructure — continues to create buzz in the industry. But according to Calvin Zito, noted blogger and storage and social media expert for HP, the breakup will have a positive outcome. “The spit lets HP Enterprise focus on what we do, and focus is a good thing,” said Zito. “It’s going to allow us to do things with profits that align to the gross margin of that business instead of having to look at a lower gross margin business, potentially holding back on investments because we have a broader portfolio that we have to manage financially.” Benefits of 3PAR acquisition Zito sat down with theCUBE cohosts Dave Vellante and Jeff Frick to discuss the state of the industry, HP’s latest announcements and established relationships, such as HP’s 2010 acquisition of storage company 3PAR, Inc.. “3PAR has inherent features that make it ideal for Flash,” said Zito. “It’s a mesh-based controller that they’ve designed to serve iOS as fast as it can and protect the data. It’s a great platform, whether for flash or spinning disks.” Watch the full interview below, and be sure to check out more coverage from theCUBE, SiliconANGLE’s Media production team, at HP Discover Las Vegas 2015.  #theCUBE #HPE #SiliconANGLE #HPDiscover @theCUBE @Hewlett Packard Enterprise #HPDiscover #HPEDiscover
