DMTF’s Redfish® is a standard API designed to deliver simple and secure management for converged, hybrid IT and the Software Defined Data Center (SDDC). This presentation will provide an overview of DMTF’s Redfish standard. It will also provide an overview of HPE’s implementation of Redfish, focusing on their storage implementation and needs. HPE will provide insights into the benefits and challenges of the Redfish Storage model, including areas where functionality added to SNIA™ Swordfish is of interest for future releases.

Today, storage and memory hierarchies are manually tuned and sized at design time. But tomorrow’s workloads are increasingly dynamic, multi-tenant and variable. Can we build autonomous storage systems that can adapt to changing application workloads? In this session, we demonstrate how breakthroughs in autonomous storage systems research can deliver impressive gains in cost, performance, latency control and customer out-of-the-box experience.

In mechanical engineering, CAD has enabled engineers, architects, and construction to create fully-featured designs so that they can visualize the construction which enables the development, modification, and optimization of the design process. Why is this missing from the world of performance engineering? Until now, it has been seen as an intractable problem to build for the exponential difficulty of complex storage and memory hierarchies. That’s no longer the case.

Terraform – infrastructure as code tool from HashiCorp for building, changing, and managing infrastructure. We can use it to manage Multi-Cloud environments with a configuration language called the HashiCorp Configuration Language (HCL). It codifies cloud APIs into declarative configuration files. We will learn how to write the Configuration files in the Terraform to run a single application or manage an entire data center by defining the plan and then executing it to build the described infrastructure.

Hadoop becomes imperative to process a large and complex set of data. However, often the issue of architecture scalability pose unnecessary roadblock in this process. OpenStack – an open-source software instills the required operational flexibility to scale-out architecture for Hadoop. This session will throw light on how we helped a client install Hadoop on VMs using OpenStack. We will discuss in-depth the challenges of manual operations and how we overcame them with Sahara. The audience will also learn why we virtualized hardware on the computing nodes of OpenStack and deployed VMs.

In this session, we will start with identifying the current problems in traditional identify management methods like bad password combination, failure due to manual provisioning and de-provisioning process, no regulations for access restriction, non-updated applications, and others. We’ll then walk through detailed Blockchain features of decentralization, immutability, and transparency and learn how it these features will help us solve the aforementioned problems.

DOTS is the only digital storage designed to be read with a camera employing standard image processing techniques. Data is recorded visually on patented phase-change metal alloy tape at a microscopic density that rivals the capacity of current magnetic tapes. DOTS can record any digital file format, visible text, and imagery on the same media. Using a visual method to represent the data ensures, as long as cameras and imaging devices are available, the information will always be recoverable, and backwardly compatible to the 1st generation.
