● CloudStack Software Engineer
● Member of CloudStack Project Management Committee (PMC)
● Focused on CloudStack’s storage component
SolidFire (http://www.solidfire.com/)
● Based out of Boulder, CO, USA
● Develop a scale-out storage technology (using industry-standard hardware)
● Built from the ground up to support guaranteed Quality of Service (QoS) on a per-
volume (logical unit) basis (min, max, and burst IOPS per volume)
● All-Flash Array
● Leverage compression, de-duplication, and thin provisioning (all inline) on a 4-KB block
boundary across the entire cluster to drive down cost/GB to be on par with traditional
disk-based systems
● Rest-like API to enable automation of all aspects of the SAN

3. What's the Use Case?
●
Interoute requires the ability to share data volumes between SQL
Server instances running in VMs.
