Well we’re already into Day 1 of Spring SNW, and the SNIA tutorials educational program is well under way.
I presented to a packed room at 9:20am on the subject of Server and Storage Consolidation with iSCSI Arrays – a great audience for the first session of the day.
Tuesday afternoon’s agenda includes pNFS, Parallel Storage for Grid, Virtualization and Database Computing by Pranoop Erasani (NetApp), and Thursday’s agenda includes two tutorials by Gary Gumanow (Dell) & Jason Blosil (NetApp) — iSCSI SANs: Ideal Applications, Large and Small, and iSCSI: A Lossless Ethernet Fabric with DCB. If you’re at SNW check them out.
If you are not at SNW, you can access the tutorials at http://www.snia.org/education/tutorials/.
Another opportunity to find out about Ethernet Storage is in the IP Storage Hands-on Lab. This program is in its 7th year and continues to go from strength to strength.
Finally, I’m scheduled to do a podcast with Skip Jones (of the Fibre Channel Industry Association) on FCoE, iSCSI and Network Convergence. That should be posted on the Infosmack Podcasts section of Storage Monkeys by Wendesday.
Wow – the Ethernet Storage Forum and the FCIA co-operating! What is the world coming to?
