LISA Data Storage Day

Data Storage Day is a one-day event focused on the current trends in the storage industry. Registration is free as a way of introducing newcomers to the LISA conference.

The goal of Data Storage Day is to explain the trends and developments in the storage industry in the language spoken by hands-on IT professionals. Other events tend to glaze over how and why specific products or technologies work, focusing instead on the business value. However, at Data Storage Day, we'll provide a peek under the proverbial hood, making it easier to match technology to business value—thus creating a unique event that's well worth a day out of the office!

LISA Data Storage Day: Latest Trends in Storage Networking

THURSDAY, SEPT. 22, 2011, DOWNERS GROVE, IL  Register Now!

Duration: The program runs from 9:00 a.m. to roughly 2:30 p.m., but it is broken down into 4 separate lectures with a lunch break in the middle. Feel free to leave early or arrive late. You will still get a lot out of your time investment.

Schedule format: The typical format for the lecture is as follows. For specific details, please see the registration link above.

8:30 a.m.–9:00 a.m. Registration and Light Breakfast
9:00 a.m.–9:45 a.m. Storage Virtualization: The Evolution of Storage Networking and the Current Trends in the Industry
9:45 a.m.–11:00 a.m. Deduplication and Single Instance Storage: Practical Applications for Backups, Archiving, and Primary Storage

1:15 p.m.–2:30 p.m. A Primer on Object Storage, Cloud Storage, and High Capacity File Systems
2:30 p.m.–3:30 p.m. Q&A Session with the Speaker

Who should attend: The lecture materials are intended for a hands-on technical audience: system admins, storage admins, disaster recovery planners, data center managers, etc. We expect that you have a working knowledge of storage, backup system principles, networks, and servers. The course content is particularly useful to those who are responsible for system architecture and for general IT strategy.

Overview: This one-day event consists of four lectures addressing the latest trends in storage networking. The four lectures are derived from the program for Storage Day at the 24th Large Installation System Administration Conference (LISA '10), which was held in San Jose, CA, November 7–12, 2010. It is the premier conference for hands-on system administrators. At LISA the presentations are delivered by industry experts (you know, the people who write the technical books and articles), not by product manufacturers. The program is offered for FREE to IT end users. There is a nominal fee to attend for those who do not work as an end user of information technology.
