Urs Renggli talks about the technology issues that midsize companies face

» Have you virtualized?

A couple of weeks ago I spent a few days at the Midsize Enterprise Summit in Orlando, an event that hosts a few hundred midsize business CIO’s and it was very obvious in my talks to many of the attendees that virtualization is absolutely top of mind in the midmarket.

What makes a commitment?

Commitment is a word often used but seldom delivered on. A while back HP realised that midsize businesses have very different technology needs and priorities to small businesses or large enterprises, but that nobody seemed to be meeting those needs.

We know you need simple, affordable, reliable products and solutions, and that your technology imperatives include security, efficiency and business continuity. We also know that small-biz solutions don’t scale to your needs, while watered-down enterprise ones also fail to deliver on the promise.

Hello,

In my last blog, I talked about virtualization and a new storage array. I just learned about an interesting test and wanted to talk more about it today.

Virtualisation has been a hot topic lately fueled by the popularity of server virtualisation. Storage virtualisation isn’t a new topic either. In fact, HP was one of the first vendors to offer virtualized disk arrays back in 1994. But a lot of confusion is out there over storage virtualisation – confusion that has been intensified by vendor hype. The vendor hype has in general over-promised and under-delivered.

Hello again,

One of the consistent things I hear from midsize business customers is that they struggle to cope with the burgeoning amount of data in their organisations. Many have direct-attached storage which makes the sharing of storage resources difficult, thus increasing the problem. Does this sound familiar to you?

Hello and welcome to my blog,

I’m Urs Renggli and I am the director for Small & Midmarket in HP’s Technology Solutions Group, which offers servers, storage, software and services.

This space is dedicated to discussing topics and promoting ideas that can help midsize businesses to grow, reduce costs avoid risks. One of the first things I realized when I started working on SMB for HP some years ago was how your needs vary greatly from that of large or small businesses.
