Hey folks, 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. Cambridge has been good to LOPSA (in particular LOPSA-East) for a number of years so I'm passing this along on their behalf.
Feel free to pass this along as you see fit. - Tuesday, Nov 10 @ 7pm - Cambridge Computer Beer and Ice Cream BOF at the conference hotel - Wednesday, Nov 11 @ 9am - 3:30pm - Jacob Farmer hosting Data Storage Day sessions - Wednesday, Nov 11 @ 5:30pm - 6:30pm - Happy hour at the conference - Wednesday, Nov 11 @ 7pm - Dinner at Bar Civita <http://www.yelp.com/biz/bar-civita-washington> a block from the conference hotel More formal details of what will be covered at the Data Storage Days sessions is below: ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Next Generation Storage Networking: Object Storage, Software Defined, Hyper Converged, and More ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ When Wednesday November 11, 2015 from 9:00 AM to 3:30 PM EST Where Washington Marriott Wardman Park 2660 Woodley Rd NW Washington, DC 20008 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 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. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Get more information [ http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?e=001B6p8OYdXhVe4dqBuKffIR2LwIEv5of64Z1Hzu9GMooCaPgA9azxyjaatQGHobrdRKhtFGWruumz-bIiRv_dHPTxOridjypTsY04tTObwA-YXEp1k25I9TdTx0GfxCp7b8sMZNwoWnmYPiSgpKAhdEn4jXA1w259BiEVfmWZ1wGZuCa3e4b8XO5pOi1JXo1bXKjS25BohPV-fyIGXzHbDfR5tuA-1tQr8 ] Best, Evan*
