Welcome to the New Age of Converged Secondary and Primary Storage

  Presented by StorageCraft

Managing storage continues to be complex, and often expensive. Something needs to change, and it certainly won’t be a dramatic increase in staffing. Fortunately, object storage is the answer. By eliminating the use of legacy RAID, object storage, can be the foundation for a scale-out converged storage solution that solves both data protection and primary storage challenges. Want to recover a multi-TB VM in less than a second? No problem. Want to protect files from ransomware? No problem. Need an enterprise file serving, archiving, or virtual server storage solution? No Problem. Attend this session to learn how object storage is changing the landscape for IT admin and the technology of the future.

Fast Data: The Next Wave Is Already Here & Accelerating

  Presented by Violin Systems

Your data is growing rapidly from all types of sources. Whether it is point of sale, IOT sensors, or public sentiment you need to be able to store it safely and securely. You also need to provide fast access for analytics, AI/ML applications and let’s not forget your customer’s demand for instantaneous response! Fast data needs to be faster, more reliable and more secure. In this session, you will learn how data storage technology is providing low latency and performance for these applications while dealing with the myriad of data sources that are springing up every day. You’ll hear from storage experts about how performance not only addresses your Fast Data needs, but helps you build a cost-effective environment to meet the most stringent needs around performance, compliance and regulatory issues.

The Data Hub: Aligning Data and Storage

  Presented by Pure Storage

The nature of compute itself is changing as analytics becomes a core capability in the enterprise data center. Technology providers must evolve the products they offer to meet the needs of this new world of data, and this is especially true in the world of storage. Data has become plentiful due to the promise of analytics coupled with new data sources such as edge computing. Enterprises struggle with finding a consistent view of their data to the various processing workflows that need that data. Traditional systems are not designed to deliver multiple streams of the same data with the varying levels of performance required by each of the workflows being deployed by successful and growing enterprises.

New storage and data architectures are needed to address the evolving needs of enterprise compute. We call this architecture a data hub. The data hub must deliver on a number of promises in order to fulfill the vision of a data driven enterprise. It must produce high throughput file and object storage and provide application-specific performance characteristics (e.g., latency, throughput, and input/output operations per second), while offering those application-specific capabilities to multiple clients simultaneously.

Virtualizing Production Databases: SQL Server

  Presented by IVOXY Consulting

How do you know if your SQL Server VM’s are as fast as they could be? When a SQL VM is “slow”, is it the database or the way the VM is built? What should we do differently when we build a virtual SQL server? If you’ve asked – or been asked – questions like these, allow us to share our 12 years’ experience in designing virtual infrastructure for mission-critical applications & databases.

Presentation topics include:

  • What makes a virtual database server different than a physical one
  • Properly sizing a SQL VM: Bigger is not better
  • Tuning a VM for transactional performance
  • Configuring storage queues
  • The metrics that matter, what they mean & how to spot bottlenecks
  • How to leverage virtualization for a better backup & DR strategy
