Supermicro Turbo Charges Solutions with NVMe Over Fabrics & Intel®

Business critical application performance and cost control have typically been a challenge for many customers - Intel® recognized these challenges and developed the Intel Select Solutions program as a way to simplify and bring confidence so that solution component selection will result in workload optimized deployments. Hewlett Packard Enterprise has followed the Intel reference design to create tested solution configurations that meet Intel Select performance standards while providing predictable outcomes for Microsoft® SQL Server 2016 OLTP database workloads.

Low latency NVMe SSD performance eliminates storage bottlenecks for demanding datacenter applications such as databases, big data, virtual servers, virtual desktops, and business intelligence. Harnessing this new level of performance with Quality of Service (QoS) enables enterprises to extend this breakthrough performance to run multiple, mixed application workloads, including latency and queue depth sensitive applications, on hyperconverged infrastructure (HCI). Join the webinar to see how Intel NVMe Flash and Pivot3 advanced QoS enable enterprises to better achieve strategic business objectives and realize savings that go straight to the bottom line.

Tech Giants have redefined infrastructure design for web-scale applications, leveraging standard servers and shared-nothing architectures to ensure maximum operational efficiency and flexibility. Enterprises and service providers are seeking to optimize their infrastructures in the same way. For storage, this means they want to deploy unified scale-out storage infrastructures leveraging Software-Defined Storage. SDS, integrated with Software-Defined Networking, virtualization and newer architectures such as containers and their orchestration platforms completes the Software-Defined Data Center.

In this webinar you will learn how to build elastic storage architectures with client-side services, leveraging the latest generations of Intel® NVMe flash and software-defined storage, with no need for proprietary arrays. Your network becomes your storage!

In January this year we introduced the value proposition NetApp and Commvault bring to the Next Generation Data Center. In this webinar we will drill down into this a little more, highlighting the tight integration between NetApp ONTAP and Commvault IntelliSnap for NetApp and what this means for customers. We will highlight how we’ve combined the benefits from a traditional back-up product with high-speed snapshot technology, all within a simple management interface, to eliminate complexity and accelerate protection and recovery.

Enterprises are eager to take advantage of artificial intelligence technologies such as deep learning to introduce new services and enhance insights from company data. As data science teams move past proof of concept and begin to operationalize deep learning, it becomes necessary to focus on the creation of a complete data architecture that eliminates bottlenecks to facilitate faster model iteration.

Designing a data architecture involves thinking holistically about the data pipeline, from data ingest and edge analytics, to data prep and training in the core data center, to archiving in the cloud. It is critical to understand performance requirements and data services needed, but one should also consider future extensibility and supportability as deep learning hardware and cloud approaches evolve over time.

This session will examine all the factors involved in the architecture of a data pipeline for deep learning, focusing in on data management and the hybrid cloud. Careful infrastructure planning can smooth the flow of data through your deep learning pipeline, lead to faster time to deployment, and thus maximum competitive differentiation.

“Data is the new Oil”, said SAP’s CEO Bill McDermott at SAPPHIRE 2017. As the market leader in enterprise application software, SAP is at the center of today’s business and technology revolution. NetApp, being an SAP Global Technology Partner for more than 15 years, is the data authority in the hybrid cloud.

NetApp and SAP work together to deliver uninterrupted real-time data access, multitenancy, and accelerated project ramp-up to propel our customers’ business forward. A Data Fabric powered by NetApp technology optimizes the value of SAP data and helps companies worldwide access enterprise applications and data where they fit best—across on-premises, hosted, and public-cloud environments.

But the world is changing. Digital transformation with internet of things, machine learning and artificial intelligence will change the way business are run, today and tomorrow.

Do you want to learn how NetApp helps customers transform their SAP environments to take advantage of hybrid cloud capabilities? Do you want to learn how NetApp’s solutions and products can help you to accelerate projects, to automate processes and save time on your journey to the cloud? Do you want to learn how NetApp can help you to create a comprehensive end-to-end data management strategy?

In this webcast we answer not only these questions, we also will show how customers have taken advantage of today’s NetApp SAP Software Solutions to make their businesses ready for tomorrow’s challenges in the world of digital transformation.

According to ESG, nearly 70% of senior IT Decision Makers believe that their IT environment is more complex than it was two years ago.* In this webinar, learn how to modernize your data protection by deploying NetApp ONTAP storage with Veeam Availability solutions to simplify IT, reduce costs, mitigate risk and increase business agility.

Kubernetes deployments running on OpenStack clusters require a full OpenStack instance including Keystone, Nova, and Cinder services.

This talk presents a more pervasive and simplified deployment architecture by integrating Containerized standalone Cinder services with baremetal Kubernetes. Cinder services offer many storage features that are still missing in Kubernetes. Cinder is supported by many storage vendors, with over 70 storage drivers in its repository. A Containerized standalone Cinder service makes these features and extensive storage products available to Kubernetes clusters, quickly and easily.

Key to this architecture is an external Kubernetes volume provisioner that provisions Cinder volumes transparently and converts Cinder volumes to Kubernetes supported storage types, such as iSCSI, Fibre Channel, NFS, or Ceph RBD.

We'll show you how the combination of the services above with a true Next Generation Data Center Storage Solution like NetApp SolidFire simplifies and accelerates your ability to leverage persistence in a bare metal Kubernetes cluster while delivering advanced features like multi-tenancy, automation and guaranteed Quality of Service.

In this webinar, we’ll deep dive into how Intel and VMware have worked together to deliver the first HCI offering in the Intel Select Solutions program. Based off of VMware vSAN, the vSphere-native storage that powers scalable and high performance HCI systems, these solutions are available in multiple configurations to meet different business needs. We’ll look at how these new hardware and software technologies come together to help enterprise seamlessly transition to HCI during key infrastructure refresh cycles. In addition, we’ll explain the savings customers see in both operations and capital costs, and then explore specific use cases and performance to validate why HCI powered by vSAN has become the go to solution for many Fortune 500 companies.
