Hp software
Nov 2011 - Mar 2013Data availability specialistTraditional data protection approaches are fragmented, incompatible, and ill-equipped to handle the new requirements associated with the explosive growth of structured data, unstructured data, mobility, and cloud-based applications. In this role with HP Software, my area of responsibility helps organizations manage this growth. HP Software offers the world's only meaning based information protection solution. This solution leverages market leading technology from HP Labs to eliminate redundant data and understand what content is most important to protect.These solutions help companies accelerate business with integrated and federated data de-duplication and tapeless array integration that shrink backup windows, optimizes storage assets, and ensures rapid recovery.Our local and tightly integrated team will show your organization how to obtain universal protection on premise and across physical or virtual servers with a one-click on-ramp to cloud backup that will securely protect any data from any sourceFurthermore, put your information to work with big data analytics using the only technology to enable context-aware management of human information while optimizing recovery, search, compliance, and eDiscovery. HP delivers a complete software infrastructure solution that forms an understanding of content in any file format - text or voice-based, structured or unstructured - regardless of where it is stored, how it was created, or which application is associated with the data. Applications can thereby communicate with each other without any manual effort involved in setting up complicated connectors or using metadata. HP Labs technology makes enterprise systems "data-agnostic" and provides automated inefficiencies for processes that were once manually intensive.What Business Problem are you trying to solve? 608.807.7288 or [email protected] Show less
