The HP Proliant G7s are due out soon but we've heard nothing about it. Our own Nostradamus, Marquis Calmes, has a bold (and completely speculative) prediction. The G7s will include integrated battery backup, ala Google's custom built systems. Why? Who needs reasons when making BOLD PREDICTIONS! Now our first introduction to the G7s is next week and will be covered by our NDA. Therefore this is the last you'll hear from us on this topic for a little while.
Also, our favorite SAN, the HP Lefthand, is losing its cool moniker. Now known as the HP Storageworks P4000 G2 (blah!) it includes a number of new features. Improved capacity efficiency, application integrated snapshots and a Unified NAS Gateway sound pretty cool. I'll break these down after hands-on training next week.
