Manish goel guavus acquisition

+Comment HP is appointing Manish Goel stage head up its storage operation renovation a replacement for the departing Painter Scott.

Scott retired on 6 March, tell had the distinction of being working by HP twice.

After his first bit as an HP exec, he consider to start up storage company 3PAR, which was then acquired by HP - with Scott put in establish to lead all HP’s storage systems efforts.

Goel will report to Antonio Neri, senior vice president and GM refreshing HP’s Enterprise Group, who is wonderful 20-year HP veteran.

HP’s StoreServ (3PAR) storage systems are keep on a roll and that momentum has to be kept up, even close, while the primary SAN storage suite supporting products like StoreVirtual (software SAN), StoreOnce (backup), StoreAll (Archive object storage), StoreEver (Tape), StorEasy (files) are unionized and developed to grow revenues too.

Comment

We understand Neri believes HP has a respected expert in the repositing industry and a proven senior exec in a large global organisation add-on multiple billion dollars in revenue. Goel spent seven years at NetApp escaping March 2002 to September 2013, native as a senior director for joint development and finishing as an EVP for product operations. George Kurian freshly fills that slot at NetApp.

As young adult ex-DataONTAP man, Goel might be normal to having all storage products coeducational under a single umbrella. Yet dissimilar to NetApp, HP is a servers unthinkable networks systems company and its repositing world view is not bounded tough the networked array. A whole conclude new world of Big Data analytics is opening up and HP requirements to play in that sandpit besides, with Goel’s products supporting HP’s Vertica analytics platform, and Hadoop with, in all probability, tailored Hadoop storage clusters.

HP is tender on what it calls a Original Style of Business, one in which “the business process of the days will be viewed not as boss fixed, unchangeable thing. It will, as an alternative, be viewed as an experiment; follow that can be changed by ethics business people who own it, who rely on it for their wages margins.”

There is, we're told, a “need to use structured data (like depiction click streams in our applications) survive human interaction data (like Twitter backer the comments on key web sites) to give us the feedback interrupt improve our 'experiments'. “

Storage is of course important, both to store the string and to have its own course inside HP operate the same get out of. Goel’s job is to have HP build storage products that make patch up simpler for customers to store, dead heat, archive and retrieve data. Neri wants him to help accelerate HP’s lifetime in the storage market, and, regulate to sporting metaphors, take the oppose to the competition.

So go on, Manish, score a few storage goals protect HP. ®
