Storage Area Networks: Designing and Implementing a Mass Storage System

Chapter 9. An Interview with Duane Zitzner

We asked Duane Zitzner, a senior HP executive, to answer our questions about HP s positioning and commitment to SAN technology.

We ve documented HP hardware and software products for years , and that has given us a practical, but only informal, sense of how HP is evolving and where HP products are going. However, it doesn t provide a high-level view of corporate strategy. We wanted to learn where Hewlett-Packard Company would position itself in the current SAN storage revolution, so we found the perfect person to ask.
