Webinar: What Your Object Storage Vendor Isn’t Telling You About NFS SupportStorage Switzerland
NFS has been the “go to” file system for large data stores but there is a new offering on the horizon…Object Storage. To help ease the transition, many Object Storage vendors have provided a gateway that allows their systems to look like NFS servers. The problem is that most of these implementations are very limiting and often create more problems than they fix. In this webinar Storage Switzerland and Caringo discuss why object storage systems are the heir apparent to NFS servers and how to make that transition without the typical roadblocks that NFS gateways create.
Attend this webinar to learn:
* What is Object Storage
* Object Storage vs. NFS
* Challenges of Object Storage without NFS
* How NFS makes Object Storage more useful
* Architecture of a typical NFS gateway
* The Challenges of Hosting NFS on an Object Store

Webinar: What's Best for VDI, Hybrid or All-Flash Storage?Storage Switzerland
The top concern for IT planners looking to implement or expand the use of their VDI investment is storage performance. This is because every step that is taken to drive down cost per desktop, or improve the user experience, impacts storage performance and capacity. All-flash arrays address the performance problem with a sledgehammer and for many environments they can be the most cost effective option. But for others, hybrid solutions may make more sense.
Join Storage Switzerland and Tegile Systems as we discuss the various challenges that VDI scale brings to storage and how All-Flash Arrays and Hybrid Arrays can address those challenges.
In this webinar join experts from Storage Switzerland and Tegile to discover if the All-Flash Data Center can become reality. We will explore the return on investment that All-Flash systems can deliver, like increase user and virtual machine densities, lower drive counts and simpler storage architectures. We will also look at some of the methods that All-Flash systems employ to deliver an acceptable cost per GB like thin provisioning, clones, deduplication and compression. Finally we will take one last look at disk, does it have a role in the All-Flash Data Center and if it does what should that role be?
Webinar: Exposing Myths of Flash Storage for VirtualizationStorage Switzerland
Flash storage has become the cure-all for the storage I/O blender created by the virtual server and virtual desktop environment. But the rush to flash has created a few myths about how to use flash for virtualization. In this webinar join George Crump, Founder of Storage Switzerland and Chris Tsilipounidakis, Product Marketing Manager at Tegile as they expose the top 4 myths of flash storage for virtualization.
Traditional datacenter is broken up into a number of silos: network, storage, virtualization, and application. The emerging Software Defined Datacenter movement breaks those silos and creates a playground for innovation, convergence, and new opportunities to reveal the hidden and unknown. During this session I will describe what the Software Defined Data Center hype is all about, how it breaks the traditionally established silos while creating the opportunities for data driven orchestration powered by Machine Learning principals that will make cloud providers and enterprises FINALLY realize the value of virtualization and ultimately deliver the self-driving data center where open initiative is at the front and center.
How To Break “The Cycle” and Move To Hyperconvergence
In this webinar, Storage Switzerland's George Crump and SimpliVity's Adam Sekora compare and contrast the suitability of SANs vs. hyperconverged architectures; examine the benefits of consolidating and reducing the number of discrete IT devices in lieu of hyperconverged infrastructure; and discuss the merits of simplified IT and its impact on technology refresh initiatives.

Even though users and application owners are demanding it, the Always-On Data Center seems unrealistic to most IT professionals. Overcoming the cost and complexity of an Always-On environment while delivering consistent results is almost too much to ask. But the reality is that data centers of all sizes can affordably meet this expectation. The Always-On environment requires a holistic approach, counting on a highly virtualized infrastructure, flexible data protection software and purpose built protection storage.
Listen in as experts from Storage Switzerland, Veeam and ExaGrid architect a data availability and protection infrastructure that can meet and even exceed the Always-On expectations of an Always-On organization.
One of the toughest decisions when selecting a new storage system is deciding between an All-Flash Array and a Hybrid Array.

For years vendors have been trying to drive down the cost of flash so that the all-flash data center can become reality. The problem is that even the rapidly declining price of flash storage can’t keep pace with the rapidly declining price of hard disk. As a result data that does not need to be on flash storage has to be stored on something less expensive. But does that less expensive storage need to be another hard disk array or could it be stored in the cloud?

Speaker:
Dipti Borkar, Alluxio
The rise of compute intensive workloads and the adoption of the cloud has driven organizations to adopt a decoupled architecture for modern workloads – one in which compute scales independently from storage. While this enables scaling elasticity, it introduces new problems – how do you co-locate data with compute, how do you unify data across multiple remote clouds, how do you keep storage and I/O service costs down and many more.
Enter Alluxio, a virtual unified file system, which sits between compute and storage that allows you to realize the benefits of a hybrid cloud architecture with the same performance and lower costs.
In this webinar, we will discuss:
- Why leading enterprises are adopting hybrid cloud architectures with compute and storage disaggregated
- The new challenges that this new paradigm introduces
- An introduction to Alluxio and the unified data solution it provides for hybrid environments

Panel Discussion: Is Computational Storage a Better Path to Extreme Performance?Storage Switzerland
Vendors are re-writing software and adding custom hardware in an attempt to not bottleneck extremely low latency NVMe Flash and Storage Class Memory technologies. Eventually, they all are at the mercy of physics. Data has to traverse an internal and sometimes and external network so the computing tier can process it. Computational Storage offers an alternative by performing at least some of the processing on the storage device itself, eliminating most of the network activity.

Webinar: Designing a Storage Consolidation Strategy for Today, the Future and...Storage Switzerland
Most storage consolidation strategies fail because they attempt to consolidate to a single piece of storage hardware. To successfully consolidate storage, IT professionals need to look at consolidation strategies that worked. Server consolidation was VMware’s first use case. It was successful because instead of consolidating hardware, VMware consolidated the environment under a single hypervisor (ESXi) and console (vCenter) but still provided organizations with hardware flexibility. A successful storage consolidation strategy needs to follow a similar formula by providing a single software solution that controls a variety of storage hardware, but that software also has to extract maximum performance and value from each hardware platform on which it sits.
Join Storage Switzerland and StorOne in which we discuss how to design a storage consolidation strategy for today, the future and the cloud.

Backup software is continuously improving. Solutions like Veeam Backup and Replication deliver instant recoveries, enabling virtual machine volumes to instantiate directly on the backup device, without having to wait for data to transfer back to primary storage. These solutions can also move older backups to higher capacity, lower cost object storage or cloud storage systems. To deliver meaningful performance during instant recovery without exceeding the backup storage budget requires IT to re-think its backup storage architecture.
Modern backup processes need high performance, low capacity systems to deliver high-performance instant recovery, as well as high-capacity, modest performance systems to store backup data long term and software to manage data placement for the most appropriate recovery performance while not breaking the budget.
It is 2019, why are we still backing up production storage? The simple answer is that most production storage systems can provide some level of data protection but they can’t fully replace backup. It's time to consider what backup independence means. The technology is there for production storage to replace backup but most organizations haven’t fully leveraged it. Join Storage Switzerland and ClearSky Data for our webinar to learn how to design a self-protecting production storage infrastructure that not only protects data but replaces backup.
Join us to learn:
•. The difference between data protection and backup
•. Why most production systems can’t replace backup
• How to architect a production system that is fully protected and achieves backup inde-pendence
For over a decade Network Attached Storage (NAS) was the go to file storage device for organizations needing to store large amounts of unstructured data. But unstructured data is changing. While large file use cases are still prevalent, small file use cases are becoming more dominant. Workloads like artificial intelligence, analytics and IoT are typically driven by millions, if not billions of small files.
Object Storage is often hailed as the heir apparent but is it? Can file systems be redesigned to continue to support traditional NAS workloads while also supporting modern, small file and high velocity workloads? Join Storage Switzerland and Qumulo for our webinar, “NAS vs. Object — Can NAS Make a Comeback,” to learn the state of unstructured data storage and if NAS file systems can provide a superior alternative to object storage.
Join us on our event to learn
•. Why traditional NAS solutions fall short
•. Why object storage systems haven't replaced NAS
• How to bridge the gap by modernizing NAS file systems
•. Live Q&A with file system and NAS experts
The cloud seems like a logical destination for backup data. It is by definition off-site, and the organization no longer needs to worry about allocating valuable floor space to secondary data storage. The problem is that most cloud backup solutions fall short of delivering enterprise class data protection.
Most cloud backup solutions are too complicated to set up and upgrade, don't provide complete platform support, don't provide flexible recovery options, can't meet the enterprises RTO/RPO requirements and don't provide a class of support that enables organizations to lower their operational expense.
In this live webinar Storage Switzerland and Carbonite discuss the five critical capabilities that enterprises, looking to move to cloud backup, need to make sure their solution has.
Join us for this event to learn:
1. Why switch to the cloud for enterprise backup?
2. The five critical capabilities enterprises MUST have in cloud backup solutions. What they are and why enterprises need them.
3. Why and where most solutions miss the mark
4. How Carbonite Server delivers the five critical capabilities
Webinar: Overcoming the Shortcomings of Legacy NAS with Microsoft AzureStorage Switzerland
Most organizations use Network Attached Storage (NAS) to store data, but the modern workforce and organization expect more capabilities than what the typical NAS can provide. Also, as organizations themselves become more distributed, the idea of a single centralized file server with users tunneling through virtual private networks won’t scale. The common alternative, putting a NAS in each remote office offers problems of its own when IT tries to make sure the data is protected and made available to the right users at the right time.
Join Storage Switzerland and Nasuni for our webinar “Providing Global File Services Using Microsoft Azure.” By attending this event, you’ll learn:
1. The shortcomings of the Legacy NAS
2. The Cloud Advantage

Webinar: 3 Steps to be a Storage Superhero - How to Slash Storage CostsStorage Switzerland
Reducing or a least slowing the growth of storage costs is a top priority facing IT organizations in 2019. In this live webinar with Storage Switzerland and SolarWinds, you will learn the three steps IT professionals can take to lower storage costs WITHOUT buying more storage (the typical vendor answer). The biggest challenges are that IT professionals don't arm themselves with the tools they need to be successful, take the next step in their career path and of course, save their company money.
Join our on demand webinar and learn:
1. How to Eliminate/Resolve Storage Problems - Not Throw Hardware at the Problem
2. Plan and be prepared for capacity growth and performance demands
3. How to manage multiple vendor's storage systems without replacing them
NVMe storage systems and NVMe networks promise to reduce latency further and increase performance beyond what SAS based flash systems and current networking technology can deliver. To take advantage of that performance gain however, the data center must have workloads that can take advantage of all the latency reduction and performance improvements that NVMe offers. Vendors emphatically state that NVMe is the next must-have technology, yet many still continue to provide SAS based arrays using traditional networks.
How do IT planners know then, that investing in NVMe will truly provide their organizations the benefits of NVMe for their demanding applications and see a measurable return on investment? Just creating a test environment to perform an NVMe evaluation can break the IT budget!
Register now to join Storage Switzerland, Virtual Instruments, and SANBlaze as we look at the state of the data center and provide IT planners with the information they need to decide if NVMe is an investment they should make now or if they should wait a year or more. The key is determining which applications can benefit from NVMe-based approaches.
In this event, IT professionals will learn
- About NVMe, NVMe Storage Systems and NVMe over Fabric Networking
- The Performance Potential of NVMe Storage and Networks
- What attributes are needed for a workload to take advantage of NVMe
- Why NVMe creates problems for current IT testing strategies
- Why a Workload Simulation approach is the only practical way to test NVMe
- How to build a storage performance validation practice
Webinar: All in the Cloud - Data Protection Up, Costs DownStorage Switzerland
Managing and protecting critical data across servers and applications in multiple locations around the globe is challenging. And the more decentralized and complex your infrastructure, the more difficult it is to manage your data. The potential bad news? Data loss, site outages, revenue loss, and potential non-compliance with regulations.
But here’s the good news: centralizing data protection in the cloud can make all the difference. That’s why you should join our webinar and hear from storage expert, George Crump, from Storage Switzerland and Druva’s W. Curtis Preston, Chief Technologist, as they discuss:
• Why protecting a distributed data center is challenging with traditional methods
• How a cloud-centralized backup strategy can be a game changer for your organization
• How Druva can help you drastically improve data protection quality, reduce costs, and simplify global management and configuration?
Hyperconverged Infrastructure is supposed to simplify the data center by creating an environment that automatically scales as new applications and workloads are added to it. The problem is that the current generation of HCI solutions can only address specific use cases like virtual desktops or tier 2 applications. First generation HCI solutions don’t have the per node power to accommodate enterprise workloads and tier 1 applications. The organization needs a next generation HCI solution, HCI 2.0, that can address HCI 1.0 shortcomings and fulfill the original promises of HCI; Lower costs, faster innovation, simpler scale, single vendor and unified management. The combination enables HCI 2.0 to handle a variety of storage intensive workloads.

Elevating Tactical DDD Patterns Through Object CalisthenicsDorra BARTAGUIZ
After immersing yourself in the blue book and its red counterpart, attending DDD-focused conferences, and applying tactical patterns, you're left with a crucial question: How do I ensure my design is effective? Tactical patterns within Domain-Driven Design (DDD) serve as guiding principles for creating clear and manageable domain models. However, achieving success with these patterns requires additional guidance. Interestingly, we've observed that a set of constraints initially designed for training purposes remarkably aligns with effective pattern implementation, offering a more ‘mechanical’ approach. Let's explore together how Object Calisthenics can elevate the design of your tactical DDD patterns, offering concrete help for those venturing into DDD for the first time!
PHP Frameworks: I want to break free (IPC Berlin 2024)Ralf Eggert
In this presentation, we examine the challenges and limitations of relying too heavily on PHP frameworks in web development. We discuss the history of PHP and its frameworks to understand how this dependence has evolved. The focus will be on providing concrete tips and strategies to reduce reliance on these frameworks, based on real-world examples and practical considerations. The goal is to equip developers with the skills and knowledge to create more flexible and future-proof web applications. We'll explore the importance of maintaining autonomy in a rapidly changing tech landscape and how to make informed decisions in PHP development.
This talk is aimed at encouraging a more independent approach to using PHP frameworks, moving towards a more flexible and future-proof approach to PHP development.
Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.

What Do You Like Most About Public Cloud?
11. The Public Cloud Challenges
• Still requires organization to
invest in IT
• Ongoing costs can be expensive
over time
• Variable costs (data transfers)
can be hard to calculate
• Service levels are hard to
guarantee
12. Private Cloud
• Predictable
• Secure
• Dedicated, on premises
infrastructure
• Modernized IT (virtualization)
• Costs are fixed in between
refreshes
13. Private Cloud Challenges
• IT needs to own the
infrastructure
• IT needs to predict growth
annually
• When refreshes do occur they
are a huge challenge
14. Gaining Predictability And Flexibility
• Three Options
• 100% Public Cloud
• On Premises Hyperconverged
Architecture
• Flexible Multi-Tier Architecture
15. 100% Public Cloud
• Optimized flexibility
• Data transfer costs are
reduced or eliminated
• Long term costs get worse
• Total dependency on a
single provider (DR unclear)
16. On Premises Hyperconverged
Architecture
• Replicates the Cloud Provider Model in the data center
• Actually many providers have traditional architectures
• Reduces concern about compute and storage refreshes
• But is “out of balance” at scale (too much compute or too
much storage)
• Difficult to guarantee specific performance to specific
application
• QoS exists but hard to guarantee in a shared everything
environment
17. Flexible Multi-Tier Architecture
• Virtualization allows compute
to easily scale
• The cloud could still be used for
“bursts”
• Storage systems could be
sold incrementally
• Not necessarily scale-out storage
• Instead a scale-right purchasing
model
18. Flash Is Critical To Flexible Multi-
Tier Private Cloud
• Flash reduces the need to scale-out
• A single unit can scale-up to meet performance and
capacity demands
• Virtualization and storage software can “link” multiple units
• Scale-up is actually key
• A single system can be provided
• No additional systems need to be shipped in to meet
demands
• Capacity can be allocated / deallocated as needed
