KEYNOTE | Disruptive Innovations:  How Storage is Changing in the Enterprise

12:50 PM – 1:40 PM
Room:  205 ABC
A new wave of disruptive innovations in the storage industry is shaking up familiar architectures and technologies. These innovations promise to drive down costs, simplify storage in the data center, and challenge the long-established vendors and architectures. Hybrid Arrays are the new normal and All-Flash Arrays and Hyper-Converged Infrastructure solutions are serious contenders in the appropriate use cases.  We are even starting to see the emergence of a new category called I/O Optimization that decouples the delivery of storage performance from storage capacity with unique technologies optimized for each instead of the traditional integrated storage appliances of yesterday.
Speaker Scott Davis is uniquely qualified to cover this topic as former VMware CTO of both end-user computing and storage, and current industry blogger and CTO at Infinio.
This session will cover disruptive storage technologies and the solutions they are driving. Attendees will learn about:
  • Storage Performance technology innovations such as PCI-e and DIMM-based Flash/SSD
  • Storage Capacity technology innovations such as SMR (shingled) drives
  • Object and cloud storage trends
  • Storage product architectures such as all-flash and hybrid arrays, hyper-converged infrastructure and software-defined storage
  • Decoupled (capacity and performance) I/O optimization technologies

Leave this session understanding more about the architectures and tradeoffs of the next wave of storage technologies.
