Innovations in Storage Networking: Next-Gen Storage Networks for Next-Gen Data Centers
With 10 Gigabit Ethernet (10GbE) about to proliferate in data centers, and storage technologies such as scale-out and grid architectures adding stress to storage networks, it’s time to rethink your storage network infrastructures, whether they're Ethernet or FC based. In this session, attendees will learn about converged networks, FCoE, CNAs, network virtualization, 10/40/100 Gbps Ethernet, 16 Gbps FC and InfiniBand alternatives. Topics will also include:
- Converged networks and their advantages and disadvantages
- The future of Fibre Channel
- I/O bandwidth capabilities and what is available with the new crop of servers
- Performance data from the Demartek lab for 16Gbps Fibre Channel (16GFC), 10GbE converged networks, 10Gbps iSCSI and more
A Deeper Dive: Where (and How and Why) to Implement Solid-State Storage
This session will help you find the best fit for solid-state storage?in servers, in hybrid arrays, in all-flash arrays, as caching devices (server or networked based) and so forth. Independent expert Dennis Martin will describe all of the current choices, discuss the pros and cons of each, and then help you determine which approach will give your company the biggest bang for its solid-state storage buck. Topics will also include:
- Characteristics of NAND flash, including SLC, MLC, endurance, Trim and wear leveling
- Various form factors for solid-state storage, including new solid-state-specific form factors
- Data placement strategies including caching and tiering
- Solid-state storage performance data from the Demartek labs
