ESF Webcasts

Throughout the the year - ESF Member companies share their expert knowledge by providing Educational webcasts through the SNIA BrightTalk channel.  

Here are a few we have completed so far, but check back often as we add more.

DAS to SAN:  iSCSI's Compelling Solution

This webinar will walk through the fundamental differences between networked and direct attached storage and will include a discussion of features and benefits of SANs using iSCSI as a block storage protocol.

Optimize Storage with iSCSI

In this session, we discuss the advantages of deploying iSCSI SANs within the context of current data center trends such as server virtualization, storage efficiency and scalable architectures.  

iSCSI and New Approaches to Backup and Recovery

In this session, we discuss how managing information is a continual challenge due to the explosion of data.  Storage networking has helped to improve data management and the iSCSI protocol has helped to reduce costs associated with infrastructure.

Everything You Need to Know to Deploy iSCSI in Your Data Center

IP storage networks are a popular choice for today’s Cloud based and Virtualized data centers. Demartek’s Dennis Martin is our guest speaker,  and will share first-hand expertise and actionable best practices for effectively deploying iSCSI storage networks.  It doesn’t matter if you have a large, medium or small environment, Dennis will provide application specific recommendations that you won’t want to miss. 

Deploying SQL Server with iSCSI

Two Storage Paths on the 10Gb Convergence Path

Server virtualization and high bandwidth applications are combining with dropping prices to push 10Gb Ethernet adoptions past the tipping point.  The first step has been consolidation - deploying new servers with a dual-port 10GbE network adapter instead of multiple 1GbE adapters.  The next step is convergence - using a common 10GbE infrastructure for network and storage traffic.  Data centers who are ready to converge have several storage options.  This presentation will cover some of the pros and cons for deploying network convergence using iSCSI and Fibre Channel over Ethernet.

The Benefits iSCSI and NAS bring to Cloud Storage Initiatives

Increasing attention to, and planning for, cloud storage raises the question of the “best” technology to employ while containing costs.  This webcast explores the advantages of iSCSI and NAS Ethernet solutions with a particular focus on the cost/performance benefits.
