The world’s largest technology company, HP launched Paul McCartney’s private cloud-based digital library on May 26. Now the musician’s personal documents are reliably cached, as the IT infrastructure provides distributed data storage. HP Enterprise Services experts worked with MPL Communications, Ltd. to plan, develop, integrate and test the library.

Huge McCartney’s media collection includes more than 1 million items, including photographs, video footage from live concerts, rolls of film, videotapes and reels, music recordings, original works of art, as well as memorabilia. All this is available worldwide only for Sir Paul and people he wants to share with.
“It’s really exciting because even if I’m out on tour anywhere in the world, I will be able to say, okay, ‘Wings 1976 tour’ and instantly, it will come up. You’ve got all the information, all the photos from it. And you’ll have written accounts—personal accounts and critical accounts—of what happened,” said McCartney.
It’s not clear yet whether a part of the library will be in free access for fans or it stays private. As concerns the celebrity owner, Sir Paul will be headlining at the closing ceremony of HP’s premiere client event Discover Americas in Las Vegas on June 9.
HP invited famous musicians in past, which turned out to be a successful step in the company marketing campaigns.
