About this talk

The scale and diversity of data that is produced today is forcing an evolution of data center application development and deployment, and as a result, we are beginning to see more applications deployed in containers than virtual machines. While valuable, there are numerous IT challenges that cannot be addressed via simply deploying a container. Organizations are constantly facing new and changing performance and agility requirements while needing to scale up and down on-demand. Today’s data center, even with the advent of new technologies, like containers and virtual machines, is too rigid to efficiently meet the demands of the velocity, scale, and variety of today’s data. As a result, many companies are considering how they can “compose” – build, tear down and re-deploy – IT resources on-the-fly. An open, non-proprietary API that enables this composability is a critical element in meeting this challenge. Join us to learn: >Why organizations are moving from conventional server and storage implementations to composable >What differentiates composable from open composable infrastructures and the benefits of an open composable infrastructure >How Western Digital’s E3000 and F3000 Fabric Attached Devices enable an open composable infrastructure >Benefits and how-to create and deploy virtual systems, then tear them down for re-use by using an open composable API
