  • Next Frontier: Edge Centric, Cloud-Enabled, Data-Driven, Says HPE CEO

    Next Frontier: Edge Centric, Cloud-Enabled, Data-Driven, Says HPE CEO

    We believe the Edge is the next frontier, says HPE CEO Antonio Neri. “When we talk about the enterprise of the future, we see an edge-centric, cloud-enabled, data-driven, enterprise,” notes Neri. “What that means is the cloud is moving closer to where the data is created. That’s driven by the use cases we see around us.”

    Neri adds: “Whether it is healthcare, manufacturing, or transportation, everything is being connected. It started with connectivity and then soon after that is the security aspect. One thing is connecting devices and apps and one thing is connecting things to the network. That’s why our Aruba platform is such a unique asset because it provides connectivity and security with AI built-in at the core.”

    Antonio Neri, CEO of Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE), discusses the acceleration of the digital transformation in an interview on CNBC:

    Driving the Acceleration of the Digital Transformation

    I would like to characterize that we had another strong quarter for the company. That’s further evidence that our strategy is working to accelerate the Intelligent Edge and to drive profitable growth in the core segment of the market called Hybrid IT.  Because we are continuing to build our portfolio and we see the demand steady, we’re actually very confident to raise our guidance that we obviously beat in Q1. We see the rest of fiscal year 2019 as strong for us and give us the confidence to raise the guidance driven by the portfolio and the innovation we have and in the feedback we get from customers.

    We see the demand steady. We have not seen any evidence of a downturn (due to tariffs, shutdown, etc.). Obviously, we are continuing to monitor the uncertainties around the globe, but the reality is that customers are making critical investment to drive that acceleration of the digital transformation. That’s all driven by the fact that the data around us has continued to grow. They need to extract the value of that data much faster than ever before. That’s why we see growth in segments like high performance compute, which for us grew 50 percent. Software around infrastructure grew 70 percent. Also, the connectivity in the Edge grew 20 percent in the wireless business. We see that as a continued trend.

    When people ask me what’s going on around the globe with Brexit, for example, our UK business actually grew double digits. When you think about the government shutdown, actually one of the key products we sell in the government is high-performance compute, and it actually grew triple digits. So it has not had the impact, but obviously, we continue to monitor what’s going on around the globe.

    Next Frontier: Edge Centric, Cloud-Enabled, Data-Driven

    We believe the Edge is the next frontier. When we talk about the enterprise of the future, we see an Edge centric cloud-enabled data-driven enterprise. What that means is the cloud is moving closer to where the data is created. That’s driven by the use cases we see around us. Whether it is healthcare, manufacturing, or transportation, everything is being connected. It started with connectivity and then soon after that is the security aspect. One thing is connecting devices and apps and one thing is connecting things to the network. That’s why our Aruba platform is such a unique asset because it provides connectivity and security with AI built-in at the core.

    3 Cs of the Intelligent Edge

    Ultimately, it brings that cloud computing closer to actually where the data is created. We think about it as an integrated solution. Obviously, we need to provide customers the tools to be able to protect themselves and be compliant with the new regulatory policies being put in place, like for example, GPI in Europe. We are really focused on that and we actually believe we have one of the best solutions at the Edge today. The data continues to outpace the compute capacity and actually, 75 percent of that data is created at the Edge. That’s very exciting and that’s why I’m bullish about these Edge compute capabilities that the customers need going forward. It’s just physics.

    AI is a Big Opportunity for Us

    Two years from now we’re going to create twice the amount of data that we created in our entire human history. That data needs to be stored, it needs to be managed, it needs to be compliant, and most importantly, business outcome has to be derived. That’s why we see the need to bring that cloud compute closer to where the data is in a different form factor. We see AI as a big opportunity for us and all integrated with connectivity and security.

    Customers are telling us that they are accelerating the digital transformation. We have a saying that the future belongs to the fast. People who can extract insights from the data faster are going to continue to win. We are very bullish about it because we have one of the best portfolios we ever had and our innovation is second to none.

    The US is Ahead with 5G

    5G is going to be an exciting opportunity for us. The US is ahead and is going to be one of the first countries, if not the first country together with Japan and others, to roll out 5G. We already see evidence of that. Our opportunity with 5G is to provide customers an integrated experience. 5G is a type of connectivity, but it is not the only type of connectivity. You are talking about 5G, talking about wire connectivity, you talk about wired network connectivity or wireless connectivity.

    What customers are asking us is give me one integrated experience with one security control play. That’s where Aruba fits perfectly in that we’re going to provide a cloud-based solution that integrates 5G into that experience.


  • Joran van der Sloot: So-Called Confession Publicity Stunt According to Natalee Holloway’s Dad

    Joran van der Sloot: So-Called Confession Publicity Stunt According to Natalee Holloway’s Dad

    Joran van der Sloot, the only suspect in the disappearance of Natalee Holloway, made a recorded confession in his jail cell in Peru, where he is serving a 28-year sentence for murdering 21-year-old Peruvian Stephany Flores Ramirez. Someone working for both RadarOnline and The Enquirer obtained the alleged confession.

    “I always lied to the police. I never told the truth,” Joran van der Sloot said. “Also, when I was younger, I never told everything. The police just never knew what they had to ask me.”

    In a recent interview with the Huffington Post, Natalee Holloway’s father, Dave Holloway, says Joran van der Sloot’s so-called confession is nothing but a publicity stunt.

    “They think they’ve got something when they really don’t,” he said. “A lot of people don’t realize that in Aruba, a verbal or recorded confession is not valid unless it’s a statement signed in writing.

    “Tabloids will pay for [his story] because it sells magazines, but that’s never printed,” Holloway added.

    Natalee Holloway was on a high school senior trip in 2005 when she disappeared. She was last seen leaving a bar with Joran van der Sloot. She was just 18 years old.

    Joran Van der Sloot could eventually face extradition to the United States, where he could face charges that allege he extorted and defrauded Natalee Holloway’s mother, Beth–but that can’t take place until 2038, when he completes his sentence in Peru. In 2014 U.S. prosecutors alleged that Joran van der Sloot accepted $25,000 in cash from Beth Holloway in exchange for a promise to lead a family lawyer to Natalee Holloway’s body in early 2010, just before he left Aruba for Peru.

    It’s interesting to note that Joran van der Sloot murdered Stephany Flores Ramirez five years to the day after Natalee Holloway disappeared.

    “We’ve still got a long way to go to get justice,” Dave Holloway says.

    Do you believe Joran van der Sloot will ever be brought to justice? Will Beth and Dave Holloway ever find out what really happened to their daughter?

    Joran van der Sloot has a habit of concocting scenarios about what happened to Natalee Holloway and issuing these “confessions.” He is a conniving murderer who treats the Natalee Holloway disappearance as some sort of sick game.

  • Joran Van Der Sloot Says Eyewitness To Natalee Halloway’s Murder Is A ‘Crackhead’

    It seems that the Natalee Holloway’s case has reached another dead end as Aruba’s prosecutor dismissed an eyewitness’ claims that he saw Joran van der Sloot kill the American teenager.

    The claims were made last week by Jurrien De Jong, a new witness who alleged that he saw primary suspect Joran van der Sloot chase Holloway into a building before hiding her body in a crawl space.

    The allegations were enough to drive Aruban authorities to look into the case again. It also prompted Holloway’s father to return to Aruba with a private investigator and a cadaver dog to follow up the lead.

    But a statement released by the office of Aruba’s Chief Prosecutor Eric Olthof debunks De Jong’s testimony.

    The Prosecutor’s office requested for information regarding the Marriott hotel’s Spyglass Tower construction site at the alleged time frame, specifically “what was built and what was not yet built” on the night of Holloway’s disappearance.

    Based on the information provided “it becomes indisputably clear that on the 30th of May 2005, no construction or building activities were started at the location that Mr. De Jong has specifically pointed out as the spot where Natalee Holloway would have been hidden and/or buried.”

    In short, the missing teenager could not have been hidden or buried on the site.

    Joran van der Sloot has also spoken out against De Jong, calling him “a crackhead, a f***ing liar, a compulsive liar.”

    Van der Sloot, who’s serving time in a Peruvian prison for the murder of another young woman, told his lawyer that he knows De Jong as “someone who sold drugs in Aruba to all of his friends.”

    Maximo Altez, van der Sloot’s lawyer, also said his client is advising the Holloways to disregard De Jong’s statement.

    “You know the mind of a crackhead, he’ll do anything to get money, and that’s all he wants,” Altez said. “You shouldn’t waste your time listening to him.”

  • Natalee Holloway: Dad Pursues New Lead in Hunt for Her Body in Aruba

    Natalee Holloway disappeared while on a school trip in Aruba back in May of 2005. She was just 18 years old. Joran van der Sloot has long been suspected of murdering the pretty blonde teenager from Alabama. He even confessed to it.

    Joran van der Sloot has a penchant for lying, however, and has led investigators–and the family of Natalee Holloway–on wild goose chases countless times. He is presently serving a prison sentence in Peru for the 2010 murder of another young woman.

    Now–nine years after Natalee Holloway’s disappearance–her father, Dave Holloway, has returned to Aruba to pursue a new lead that he hopes will result in finding his daughter’s body.

    Fox News reports that island resident Jurrien de Jong has come forward–after nine years– and told the syndicated TV program Inside Edition that he was an eyewitness to what happened to Natalee Holloway.

    The biggest question here is why did he wait so long?

    “I saw Natalee Holloway on the last night she was alive,” he said. “I was the eyewitness.”

    “I saw that Joran was chasing Natalee into a small building under construction,” De Jong continued. “In about five minutes he came out with Natalee in his arms, and slammed the body of Natalee on the floor, and then he made an opening in a crawl space… I knew she was dead.”

    Dave Holloway now has an investigator and a cadaver dog in his employ, and will soon set out to see if De Jong’s claims have any merit.

    Joran van der Sloot has claimed to have left a drunken Natalee Holloway alone on a beach. On hidden camera he confessed to killing her. He once even told Fox News Channel’s Greta Van Susteren that he sold Natalee Holloway into slavery. van der Sloot was also charged with trying to extort $250,000 from Natalee Holloway’s mother, Beth Holloway, by claiming he could lead her to her daughter’s remains.

    De Jong told the distraught father what he knew last year, and also told the same to a Dutch newspaper, Algemeen Dagblad.

    Will Jurrien de Jong’s claims lead a tired, heartbroken, and discouraged father to his daughter’s remains? Will Dave and Beth Holloway–who divorced several years before their daughter went missing–finally be able to lay Natalee Holloway to rest?

    No one expects Natalee Holloway is alive–at least not many people do. It would no doubt give her family some peace to properly inter her remains.

  • Natalee Holloway: New Witness Comes Forward With Shocking Claims About Her Disappearance

    A decade after her disappearance, Natalee Holloway’s family might finally get some closure as a new witness claims he saw what happened to the teenager.

    The witness, Jurrien De Jong, has come forward with shocking claims that he saw the 18-year-old Holloway on the last night she was alive.

    De Jong told Inside Edition that he saw suspect Joran van der Sloot carrying her body on the night she vanished.

    Jurrien De Jong claims he saw Joran Van Der Sloot chase Natalee Halloway on the last night she was alive

    “I saw that Joran was chasing Natalee into a small building under construction,” De Jong described. “In about five minutes he came out with Natalee in his arms, and slammed the body of Natalee on the floor, and then he made an opening in a crawl space.”

    “I knew she was dead,” he concluded.

    Joran van der Sloot has always been the primary suspect in the case and was even arrested twice but never charged.

    The suspect, who was 17 at the time that Holloway disappeared, is currently serving time in a Peruvian prison for the murder of Stephany Flores, a college student.

    He still denies any wrongdoing in connection to Holloway’s disappearance.

    But why did it take De Jong 10 years to gather the nerve to come forward?

    De Jong says that he didn’t go to the police at the time because he was involved in some illegal activities. But he decided to reveal what he saw after watching a TV report where van der Sloot confessed that Holloway was buried at sea.

    It’s a claim that De Jong vehemently says is a lie based on what he saw that night.

    Aruba’s prosecutor, Eric Olthof, says that his office is looking into De Jong’s claims and that the investigation might take about two months.

    In the meantime, Holloway’s father Dave has returned to Aruba with a private detective and Inside Edition’s Lisa Guerrero to follow up on the new lead.

  • Joran van der Sloot to Marry Leydi Figueroa Uceda

    Joran van der Sloot, the prime suspect in the disappearance and assumed murder of Alabama teenager Natalee Holloway back in 2005 in Aruba, will soon marry 22-year-old Leydi Figueroa Uceda, a woman he met while she sold goods in the Peruvian prison in which he is being held on another murder conviction. She is five months pregnant with his child. The two have nearly completed the legal arrangements needed for them to marry while he is in prison.

    van der Sloot is presently serving a 28-year prison sentence for the murder of 21-year-old Stephany Flores, a student he met in a Lima casino. It is believed that she saw information on his laptop computer that told her exactly who he was and he killed her in a hotel room as a result. This took place five years to the day of Natalee Holloway’s disappearance.

    Once Joran van der Sloot serves his time in Peru he will be extradited to the United States where he will go to trial for extortion. He allegedly took $25,000 from Natalee Holloway’s mother Beth with the promise of leading the woman to her daughter’s remains.

    Is it even possible that Leydi Figueroa Uceda didn’t know who van der Sloot was when she became intimately involved with him in his prison cell? How could that be? His face has been plastered all over the news since Holloway went missing in 2005. This murderer is no doubt charismatic as he has proven he can win over the ladies time and time again.

    What kind of life will Uceda have raising Joran van der Sloot’s baby on her own while he serves out a 28-year sentence and is then extradited to the United States? By the time he has any chance at all of being a free man, this child will be long grown.

    What’s your take on Joran van der Sloot getting married and becoming a father? Is there some underlying scheme behind his most recent actions?

  • Joran Van der Sloot: Natalee Holloway Suspect to Be Extradited in 26 Years

    Joran Van der Sloot is the primary suspect in the disappearance of American Natalee Holloway from Aruba in May of 2005. Now the Peruvian court system says they will extradite him to the United States–but not for 26 more years. He must finish serving a 28 year sentence that was imposed upon him for the murder of Stephany Flores in 2012. He confessed to murdering the 21-year-old in his Lima hotel room.

    Natalee Holloway was just 18 years old when she disappeared in Aruba while there on a school trip. The teenager’s body was never found and she was declared legally dead in 2012–seven years after her disappearance. Investigators believe Joran Van der Sloot killed Stephany Flores because she discovered something on his computer while in his hotel room that connected him to Natalee Holloway’s disappearance.

    Van der Sloot has been indicted in the U.S for both extortion and wire fraud. He is accused of extorting money from Natalee Holloway’s mother, Beth Holloway Twitty, in exchange for offering her information about her daughter’s whereabouts.

    It is reprehensible to think a court system would prevent a murderer from facing a judge about other serious and potentially related crimes. He has been convicted of murder and likely was involved in the death of Natalee Holloway. If he was returned to the United States to face his charges there, who knows what someone might unearth during his questioning? It might be the answer that Natalee Holloway’s family has waited almost seven years for. They know their daughter is dead. They desperately need and deserve some closure.

    Joran Van der Sloot confessed during a hidden camera interview to being involved in the Natalee Holloway case.

    It seems ludicrous that the Peruvian courts won’t send Joran Van der Sloot packing. He wouldn’t get out of his sentence in Peru if he was extradited. He would simply serve it elsewhere.

    Do you think their decision to extradite him in 26 years is a done deal or might there be room for negotiation?
