What You'll Learn

  1. Storage Skirmish:
  2. Flash-based storage systems are getting cheaper and more reliable, but is it too early to go in for a complete all-flash refresh for the entire data center? Or are hybrid systems still the most popular for the next 5 years?
  3. DIY vs. Pre-Integrated:
  4. Will people still make disparate SANs, NAS, Servers, Virtualization software, backup solutions, and networking from different vendors work together because of the flexibility it offers? Or are we moving to a pre-integrated world where most deployments will be converged or hyperconverged?
