This half-day MEEC event consists of three lectures on next-generation storage management. The lecture materials are intended for a technical audience: system admins, storage admins, disaster recovery planners, data center managers, etc. Other events tend to glaze over how and why specific technologies work, focusing instead on the business value. However, at Data Storage Day, we’ll provide a peek under the proverbial hood to understand the inner-workings of the technology – making it easier to match functionality with business value.
The program runs from 9:30AM to roughly 2:00PM and is broken into 3 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. See below for the full program.
