This morning I accompanied a young person to the Superior Court in San Jose. This Court is located at 99 Notre Dame in San Jose. Once we went through the metal detectors we joined a long line of people in a crowded waiting room. What surprised me was the display along the south wall, which reminded me that this location was the birthplace for magnetic disk recording. IBM established a research lab at this location in 1952. The first lab director was Reynold B. Johnson and the first Random Access Method of Accounting andControl, RAMAC, was announced here in 1955.

There has been a lot of buzz about a new Hitachi storage platform. Today we announced our Hitachi Unified Storage (HUS) system for the midrange and enterprise markets, which confirms these rumors and redefines the industry’s notion of unified storage. The reason for the buzz has been the excitement that it has generated in our pre-release evaluations with partners and customers as HDS delivers a truly single unified management framework for the entire HDS portfolio.

Last month Intel announced their latest Intel Xeon processor E5-2600 with the ability to deliver up to 80% improved performance, new integrated I/O with PCI Express (that can triple the movement of data in and out of the processors), and improved performance per/watt of over 50% gain on SPEC power.

Last Friday the markets were closed, so much of the financial media spent the day talking to analysts to get their views on the recovery, such as it is. One of the top stories in the US was around the job market slowdown in March, which had the lowest increase since October.
