It was a bit rushed at times, so some details were washed over and could have been expanded on to finer detail. I personally liked the short presentation on object storage - reminds me of GoogleFS or Hardoop being implemented at the storage level. <br><br>Also had a good overview on SSD. <br><br>Nothing on the new switched-SAS interconnect though (alternative to FC or ISCSI) - I spoke with Cambridge today and they don't have any experience with it yet. <br><br>Finally, they made a push for membership in SAGE and USENIX - which I strongly recommend! <br><br><br>Regards,<br>Scott<br><hr id="zwchr"><b>From: </b>"Casey DuBois" <casey@grlug.org><br><b>To: </b>"Mailing List for LUG in greater Grand Rapids, MI area." <grlug@grlug.org><br><b>Sent: </b>Monday, September 26, 2011 10:56:35 AM<br><b>Subject: </b>Re: [GRLUG] LISA Data Storage Day - Latest Trends in Storage Networking - Davenport University - 9/21<br><br>Anyone that went to LISA, How was it? <div>Have any good info on Storage trends?<br>
