Storage Technologies & Practices Ripe for Refresh
Wednesday, February 3, 2021
10:00 am PT / 1:00 pm ET

So much of what we discuss within SNIA is the latest emerging technologies in storage. While it’s good to know about what technology is coming, it’s also important to understand the technologies that should be sunsetted.

In this webcast, you’ll learn about storage technologies and practices in your data center that are ready for refresh or possibly retirement. Find out why some long-standing technologies and practices should be re-evaluated. We’ll discuss:

Obsolete hardware, protocols, interfaces and other aspects of storage
Why certain technologies are no longer in general use
Technologies on their way out and why
Drivers for change
Justifications for obsoleting proven technologies
Trade-offs risks: new faster/better vs. proven/working tech

NVMe-oF: Looking Beyond Performance Hero Numbers
Thursday, March 25, 2021
10:00 am PT / 1:00 pm ET

When it comes to performance of NVMe over Fabrics (NVMe-oF) one should look beyond test results that demonstrate NVMe-oF’s dramatic reduction in latency. There are other, more important, questions that should be asked in order to understand the fabric’s real-world benefits. This webcast will attempt to answer questions beyond “it depends.”

Gain insights from an industry wide panel of NVMe and fabric technology experts as they discuss the thought process you can use to determine pros and cons of a fabric for your environment, including:
