SNIA reprise online
I gave a keynote at the last SNIA Symposium about the impact of 5 new datacenter technologies:
- 2.5″ drives
- flash SSDs
- guaranteed uptime storage
- 10 gigE
- Cloud storage
Then last week I gave a reprise of the presentation to the SNIA end-user council.
Whelming demand
In response to overwhelming demand - 2 requests (I’m easily overwhelmed) - here is the presentation and a recording of the session. You’ve been warned.
You can download the slides (0.5 MB pdf) and now the audio (15 MB mp3).
Update: A commenter suggested a smaller file so I’ve replaced the 7 MB pdf with a 0.5 MB version. Not as sharp or clear, but the content is there - faster! FWIW, the audio file is heavily compressed and you may notice some compression artifacts. End update.
The StorageMojo take
I’ve never gotten into the podcast thing, but then I no longer commute 45 minutes a day.
EMC guys will certainly want to blow an hour listening to my comments on the Hopkinton giant. Make a pitcher of 3-2-1 Margaritas, put your feet up, and “go to work” courtesy of StorageMojo.
Courteous comments welcome, of course.

Sometimes availability has to come first to create demand…

That is the best presentation I haven’t seen!

Great presentation. The slide deck is a bloated beast at 7MB and is a waste of bandwidth. With a bit of compression on the images, you’d get it down to 500k or so. Thanks for the insight, nice commentary as always.

I’m interested to hear your take on FCoE. I was at VMWorld and asking some of hte Qlogic folks about their opinion about “iSCSI vs FCoE”. They indicated they didn’t think it was a versus thing, and that FCoE’s primary use case would be for legacy migration for preexisting fiber channel SANs that will be connected to new servers with 10GE.
However: I’m curious, terribly curious, about native FCoE versus native iSCSI storage solutions, and how they will compare on 10GE. Will there /really/ be that much of an FCoE latency advantage and what will the real world performance impact of that be?
