Upcoming Events

New Landscape of Network Speeds
Tuesday, May 21, 2019
10:00 am PT / 1:00 pm ET

In the short period from 2014-2018, Ethernet equipment vendors have announced big increases in line speeds, shipping 25, 50, and 100 Gigabits-per -second (Gb/s) speeds and announcing 200/400 Gb/s. At the same time Fibre Channel vendors have launched 32GFC, 64GFC and 128GFC technology while InfiniBand has reached 200Gb/s (called HDR) speeds. But who exactly is asking for these faster new networking speeds, and how will they use them? Are there servers, storage, and applications that can make good use of them? How are these new speeds achieved?

Introduction to Incast, Head of Line Blocking, and Congestion Management
Tuesday, June 18, 2019
10:00 am PT / 1:00 pm ET

For a long time, the architecture and best practices of storage networks have been relatively well-understood. Recently, however, advanced capabilities have been added to storage that could have broader impacts on networks than we think.

The three main storage network transports - Fibre Channel, Ethernet, and InfiniBand – all have mechanisms to handle increased traffic, but they are not all affected or implemented the same way. For instance, placing a protocol such as NVMe over Fabrics can mean very different things when looking at one networking method in comparison to another.

Flash Memory Summit
Monday, August 5 - Thursday, August 8, 2019
Santa Clara, CA

Everything you need to know to design successful storage systems is at Flash Memory Summit this year. And practically everyone you need to know will be there, too! FMS is the best networking opportunity in the industry.

At FMS 2019, you’ll hear the latest about NVMe (and NVMe over fabrics), 3D flash (and 3D XPoint), new non-volatile memory technologies, persistent memory, controllers, and AI/ML applications. You’ll learn new ways to meet the challenges of big data, real-time analytics, virtual and augmented reality, autonomous vehicles, hyperconverged sites, and cloud computing. You’ll also get industry-leading insight from keynotes by major players and hot newcomers.
