Wednesday 15th May 2013 - Network Technologies & Scale-Out Storage

Broken down into two session this workshop will cover the design characteristics of modern networks that allow for the future-proof support of scalable storage systems and growing data.

Gain a deeper understanding of the technical concepts behind scale-out storage and what you need to consider if you want to implement future proof storage architecture at your facility.

Session 1: How to design a future-proof network: Design Characteristics of Modern Networks.
•    Discover traditional and cutting-edge Ethernet technologies, their differences and benefits.
•    Learn how to upgrade your company network costs efficiently using the right technology.

Session 2: NAS technologies: Understanding scale-out storage.
•    What you need to know to achieve an optimised scale-out architecture.
•    An in depth review of the technical concepts behind scale-out storage and what you need to consider if you want to implement future proof storage architecture at your facility.
