HP and McCartney Productions Limited have agreed to digitize and deliver the library of legendary musician Paul McCartney via a private cloud. Under the agreement, HP will work with MPL to digitize the material and design and build a state-of-the-art content management system. McCartney’s library will then be delivered through a private cloud environment. Portions of the library will be made available to fans so they can have a personal and unparalleled glimpse into McCartney’s work.“I’ve always been interested in creative ideas and new ways of reaching people, so this is a really exciting initiative for me,” said McCartney. “I hope it will allow people who might be interested to access parts of our archives they might otherwise not be able to.” McCartney, HP said, has one of the most comprehensive libraries of any artist, much of which has never been viewed before. His library includes images, artwork, paintings, film and videos, as well as masters of some of the most popular songs ever written. Over his successful career, he has also accumulated iconic imagery, such as cover artwork for the multimillion selling No. 1 album, “Band on the Run.” This is HP's first collaboration with an artist in this way, which promises to change how fans and artists interact. The digitization of McCartney’s library will also help preserve the history of one of the world’s most loved artists for generations to come, HP said in a statement.
