I know many of you attend various events put on by Cambridge Computing at
LISA each year, just passing along their lineup of events for the year.

You are invited to the 2015 USENIX/LISA Data Storage Day, an event focused
on the
latest trends in data storage technologies at the Large Installation
Systems Administration
Conference on November 11th, 2015. LISA is the premier conference for
hands-on system
administrators, where the presentations are delivered by industry experts
(such
as the people who write the technical books and articles), not by product
manufacturers.

Synopsis: This educational lecture will be a crash course in everything new
and
interesting in the data storage industry.  Of course, storage has not
fundamentally
changed in the last 40 years, so it would be more accurate to say that the
lecture
frames the state of the data storage industry in the context of hardware
advancements
and industry trends, while attempting to separate the vendor marketing
fluff from
the simple realities of how storage devices work.
The content is vendor-neutral, in that the focus is on architectures,
industry trends,
and problem solving, not on specific products from specific vendors.
Examples are
drawn from commercial as well as open source solutions.
Major Topics Covered Include:

* Leveraging Commodity Hardware
* Software Defined Storage
* Hyper Convergence
* Storage Virtualization
* Commodity hardware
* Object Storage
* Deduplication
* Design principles for resilience, scale, and performance
* Hardware advancements
* NVMe
The program is offered at no cost to IT professionals and lunch will be
provided.
