[GRLUG] LISA Data Storage Day - Latest Trends in Storage Networking - Davenport University - 9/21

[scott.tanner at comcast.net]

Sadly, there was no mention of using cybernetic brain implants for future data storage... ;) 

Overall it was pretty good, the presenters (Cambridge Computer) know their stuff and had good stories to share. 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. 

Also had a good overview on SSD. 

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. 

Finally, they made a push for membership in SAGE and USENIX - which I strongly recommend!
