HP Discover 2011: last chance to win an HP Envy Notebook
Jun 21st
During my “social media” coverage of HP Discover 2011 in Las Vegas, HP offered a few brand-new HP Microservers and HP Envy notebooks. Well, I was one of the lucky bloggers! My contributions have awarded me the HP Envy notebook and now it is my turn to re-award this prize to one of our readers!!
$1050 worth! Click on this picture for awesome specs!
Quite a number of you have started to follow me and retweeted my #hpdiscover messages, but I really need a lot more response before I can select a winner. Therefore, I have decided to extend the promotion until July 1st 00:00 CET.
What can you do to win this fantastic notebook?

Tweet the following message including the hashtags at least three times:

Excluded are my family, my co-bloggers at @hypervnu including myself of course.
I can surely recommend the DiscoveringHP metablog created by one of the HP Discover 2011 bloggers: @freitasm (Mauricio Freitas). DiscoveringHP is a great collection of all the bloggers’ contributions during HP Discover 2011.

During the HP Discover event five bloggers toured the Expo and tried out the new HP EcoPOD

Introducing the HP EVA P6000
Jun 7th
During the event I have been tweeting quite a few details about the newly introduced HP EVA P6000 so if you search for @hvredevoort and #HPDiscover you’ll get some idea.
Walking the booth I met Darryl Pedone from HP. I recorded this video which may answer a couple of questions you might have if you are thinking of buying enterprise storage or replacing your current HP EVA.

HP Discover 2011 first day impressions
Jun 7th
HP Discover 2011 is this major customer and partner event which is held in both United States (Las Vegas) and Europe (Vienna) next November.
I am part of a group of about 20 bloggers and micro bloggers who have kind of press status. HP wants to promote the use of social media for marketing purposes and lets face it, blogs, Facebook, Twitter are a sign of this time in history. We have a fully free format which means you are free in what, how or when you want to convey your messages. I have been blogging and tweeting for about two years so that is quite familiar, but acting as a sort of press guy is really new to me.
There are quite a number of famous bloggers in the group. The ones I follow or recognize are Chris Evans (@chrismevans) from www.thestoragearchitect.com and www.thevirtualarchitect.com, Mauricio Freitas (@freitasm) from www.geekzone.co.nz, Stu Miniman (@stu) from www.blogstu.worpress.com, John Obeto (@JohnObeto) from www.absolutelywindows.com), Eric Siebert (@ericsiebert) from www.vsphere-land.com, Chris White (@fezmid) from www.neowin.net, Hector Russo (@GeeksRoom) from www.geeksroom.com, Jeffrey Powers (@geekazine) from www.geekazine.com and several others. So it was a real honor to be amidst this group of geeks.
Monday started with a press conference and several tables were reserved for the bloggers. Because we might have problems using the Internet the organizers had thought of renting a 4G Mobile Access WMAX device from Clear which really made Internet Access fly!
All the keynote speakers and HP executives were present and one by one they covered the most important topics of the event.

How serious is HP taking Hyper-V Private Cloud?
Jun 3rd
As an invited blogger I will be at HP Discover 2011 next week (6-10 June) at the Venetian in Las Vegas. It is HP’s big Enterprise Business event that covers HP’s entire portfolio products, solutions and services. If you want to follow what is going on please follow the hashtag #HPDiscover
Again I will view the presentations, workshops and exhibitions through the eyes of an architect of private cloud infrastructure. I want to find out if HP has discovered there is more than one hypervisor ready for prime business. Of course I will interrogate HP people about their integration with Microsoft Virtualization, System Center, Hyper-V Private Cloud and Azure.
I have been working with HP (and previously Compaq) servers and storage since day one and I’m looking forward to their newest developments and announcements. We have built many server virtualization platforms based on HP ProLiant (BladeSystem) servers, HP EVA, HP LeftHand and HP MSA, now called P6000, P4000 and P2000. I intend to take a closer look at HP 3PAR (and wonder if this storage array gets a P#### number as well).
Let’s see how far HP has progressed with integrating HP and Microsoft technology. Hopefully it is not a VMware only story as it has been in the past, despite HP’s involvement in Hyper-V Private Cloud, the Fast Track program and the reference architecture built for this purpose. The first proof of real involvement was the Hyper-V Cloud HP built for Microsoft Management Summit 2011, the event I attended three months ago. Never thought I’d see Vegas again so quickly. I am not complaining.
