Whether you are planning to upgrade your current storage system or getting ready for a complete storage refresh, today’s IT planner has more storage choices than ever. A key decision is how you will access critical storage services like volume management, snapshots and replication. Today these storage services can be delivered via Storage Virtualization, Software Defined Storage, Server-side storage or traditional shared storage systems (none of the above).
Join Storage Switzerland’s Founder and Lead Analyst, George Crump for a vendor neutral look at these technologies. We discuss how each of these approaches work, how they are different from each other and how to determine which of these methods of providing data services is best for your organization. We also cover some the vendors in each category and what their strengths and weaknesses are.
Each of these solution categories will be compared for their ability to integrate flash storage, integrate into virtual server and desktop infrastructures, as well as their ability to provide data services to a wide variety of workload types. In other words, can any of them become the single point of storage management for the enterprise or will you be forced to have a specific solution for each platform in your organization?
In addition, all registrants will be able to access Storage Switzerland’s extensive library of on-demand webinars, many with exclusive white papers, without having to re-register.
