This session includes details of the analysis performed, the software ingredients used, and the record setting results of this collaboration.

In this webinar, you’ll learn when and why you should accelerate your hot data by placing NVMe in the 1st tier of your data center storage. Charlie will introduce some unique NVMe server solutions designed and manufactured by AIC, explain the benefits of NVMe storage and also provide an overview of storage tiers.

Discussing the Storage Performance Development Kit (SPDK) an extension of the Data Plane Development Kit (DPDK) into a storage context. We cover how SPDK got started, what the benefits are of an NVMe* polled mode driver, how SPDK supports protocols like NVMe over Fabrics and the future areas of development for SPDK.

Lustre* is the parallel file system of choice for HPC, Bio-Science, and realtime Big Data analytics with more than 50% share of HPC Storage Market. Lustre has traditionally required custom proprietary storage products to achieve required performance. Supermicro, in close partnership with the Intel® Enterprise Edition of Lustre team has introduced an open software-defined Lustre Solution based on Intel EE of Lustre, open source ZFS and open industry standard hardware, reducing storage costs by up to 90% versus traditional solutions. This webcast is a technical product and architecture overview of the Supermicro Total Solution: software, hardware and services.

Lee will discuss the disruption happening in the marketplace and the future of storage and data management. Lee will outline NetApp’s Data Fabric vision and software defined storage strategy, highlighting the newly announced NetApp ONTAP Select solution. NetApp’s vision and solutions help customers realize the potential of the hybrid cloud, enabling organizations to maintain control and choice in how they manage, secure, protect, and access their data. Lee will also discuss NetApp’s strong track record of collaboration with Intel, including the significance of participation in the Intel Storage Builders program.

Storage technologies, epitomized by Intel's own solid state portfolio, are evolving faster than most organizations are capable of adopting them. In this webinar we'll discuss the dramatic dichotomy facing storage vendors today. 

On one hand, they must be absolute geeks: fixated on the gory technical challenges that are involved with getting performance and efficiency out of a set of storage technologies that nobody even dreamed of about ten years ago. On the other, they must completely insulate their customers from this gory technical fixation: successful products must assemble a set of complex and rapidly evolving technologies in a way that makes the business end of storage -- protecting and presenting organizational data -- simpler and more cost-effective than ever before.

Our world is getting smarter with everything from responsive advertising, smart meters to genomic analysis and intelligent media streaming. This requires a new type of storage platform – one which can combine petabyte scale with indexing and analytics. Cloudian HyperStore software, running on Intel-based servers from Lenovo, provides an elastic storage infrastructure to meet this need. It can dynamically grow based on the demand and supports rich analytics with user defined metadata and Hadoop analytics directly on the data in place.

In this webinar, you’ll learn how the Intel/Cloudian Solution Architecture on Lenovo can store and analyze your data.
