Converged data centers running completely over Ethernet fabrics has been a desire for a many years now. How has the landscape evolved? Where do we stand today? Can Ethernet deliver on its promise, especially with respect to block storage access? Does the story look more promising today? The speaker shares his insights on these topics.Hosted by IBM

Failing to protect sensitive information can put a lot of people at risk of being exploited by cybercriminals, and can make a company face enormous legal penalties. The way information is shared and stored can put the information at risk. It is risky to store personal information on portable devices, which are easily lost or stolen. In addition, the consequences of a data breach can be devastating. Identity theft could lead to financial losses, and a company could face lawsuits and legal penalties.

FAST will bring together storage-system researchers and practitioners to explore new directions in the design, implementation, evaluation, and deployment of storage systems.
