Abstract

File systems have evolved considerably, yet the vast majority of them are still a simple organizational layer on top of a block device. As the sheer amount of data scales in an organization, it becomes absolutely critical that file systems evolve as well. This presentation focuses on a modern file system which include native tiering capabilities, native per-file performance and protection capabilities, and advanced scalability.

Learning Objectives

Discuss the challenges facing IT administrators as they cope with a deluge of data, much of which requires different performance, protection, and retention characteristics.
How a single file system which includes built-in data classification, per-file data protection and performance attributes, and advanced scalability can significantly speed up applications, decrease management complexity, and drive lower total cost of ownership.
