Storage Speed and Human Behavior | SNIA

Abstract

People want instant gratification. From news on Twitter, Google searches and McDonald’s cheesburgers, humans are becoming conditioned to the speed of now. But how important is it for business? When considering your datacenter how much performance really has an impact? What are you willing to pay for in terms of performance? What kinds of behaviors change when things go from fast, to really fast? And is fast ever going to be fast enough? Eric Herzog of Violin Memory will discuss the questions above.
