The first installment of our "colorful" Webcast series, "Everything You Wanted To Know about Storage But Were Too Proud To Ask – Part Chartreuse," covered the fundamental elements of storage systems. If you missed it, you can check it out on-demand. On November 1st, we'll be back at it, focusing on the network aspect of storage systems with "Everything You Wanted To Know About Storage But Were Too Proud To Ask – Part Mauve." As with any technical field, it's too easy to dive into the jargon of the pieces and expect people to know exactly what you mean. Unfortunately, some of the terms may have alternative meanings in other areas of technology. In this Webcast, we look at some of those terms specifically and discuss them as they relate to storage networking systems. In particular, you'll find out what we mean when we talk about:
  • Channel versus Busses
  • Control Plane versus Data Plane
  • Fabric versus Network

For people who are familiar with data center technology, whether it be compute, programming, or even storage itself, some of these concepts may seem intuitive and obvious... until you start talking to people who are really into this stuff. This series of Webcasts will help be your Secret Decoder Ring to unlock the mysteries of what is going on when you hear these conversations. We hope to see you there!
