TweetChat: Flash Meets Software Defined Storage (#SDS): Harmony or Conflict? #flashahead
Today we’re teaming up with The Wikibon Project’s own Stu Miniman (@stu), David Floyer (@dfloyer) and Dave Vellante (@dvellante) will be hosting a #tweetchat on the intersection between Flash and Software Defined Storage (SDS) / Software-Led Infrastructure (SLI). Please join us and use the hashtag #flashahead.
According to Dave, Flash is transforming infrastructure and application design while at the same time, the software-defined meme is causing practitioners to re-think where value is created in the storage ecosystem. Here’s a list of questions that Dave and the guys will address during the #flashahead chat:
- What is meant by software-defined storage?
- What is the role of flash in software-defined storage?
- Which services will drive software-led infrastructure?
- How will SDS services be invoked – where is the control point?
- How will flash systems share data in a SW-defined world?
- What about flash and QoS in a SW-defined world?
- Where does OpenStack fit in SW-defined and how does flash play there?
- Who are the major players – who’s worth watching in Flash meets SW-Defined?
- Are Flash and SW-Defined in Harmony or Conflict?
Software-Defined Storage has been a topic we’ve covered rather extensively, and will continue to explore. Recently I introduced you to some of the ‘top players in the market of software-defined storage, including Hewlett-Packard, EMC (who’s growing federation of entities include VMWare and Pivotal) and NetApp. There are a lot of moving parts of the players involved in SDS — look no further than EMC for examples of that. How flash integrates with software-defined storage, and its integration and management with legacy systems is an interesting question in today’s era of IT re-structuring. Vellante, Floyer and Miniman discuss it all during today’s #flashahead chat.
