New SNIA Technical White Paper:
Spare Resource and Capacity Overview
|
|
|
The increased sophistication of storage systems has led to a similar evolution of data redundancy and capacity management. If you’re perplexed by the dichotomy between spare drives and spare storage capacity, download this SNIA white paper titled “Spare Resource and Capacity Overview,” for a simplified, yet comprehensive, model for how to clarify and augment the treatment of spare storage in SNIA Swordfish™.

SNIA Swordfish Tools Showcased at SM Lab Plugfest
|
|
|
SNIA’s Storage Management Initiative would like to give a shout out to Sachin Desai, cloud architect, Cisco, and SNIA’s own John Crandall for their willingness to go above and beyond to help make the SM Lab plugfest in January a big success.

Kubernetes in the Cloud
May 2, 2019
Matt Baldwin, the founder of Stackpoint Cloud and NetApp; Ingo Fuchs, Chief Technologist, Cloud and DevOps, NetApp; Mike Jochimsen, Director of Alliances, Kaminario
Kubernetes (k8s) is an open-source system for automating the deployment, scaling, and management of containerized applications. Kubernetes promises simplified management of cloud workloads at scale, whether on-premises, hybrid, or in a public cloud infrastructure, allowing effortless movement of workloads from cloud to cloud.
This webcast will introduce Kubernetes and present use cases that make clear where and why you would want to use it in your IT environment. We’ll also focus on the enterprise requirements of orchestration and containerization, and specifically on the storage aspects and best practices, discussing:
- What is Kubernetes? Why would you want to use it?
- How does Kubernetes help in a multi-cloud/private cloud environment?
- How does Kubernetes orchestrate & manage storage? Can Kubernetes use Docker?
- How do we provide persistence and data protection?
- Example use cases
