Data Storage Breakthrough: The Beginning of the End for Traditional Storage

It seems like every storage company these days is talking about software-defined storage (SDS)… and for good reason. Software-defined storage provides transformational benefits for companies on a wide scale. For IT organizations, SDS technology enables infrastructure to scale to meet modern data demands, while reducing cost, improving hardware flexibility, speeding deployments, and dramatically simplifying storage infrastructure management.

As excitement mounts around SDS, a wide variety of storage industry solutions have begun leveraging the term. Some solutions, however, may not deliver all the expected benefits of SDS despite leveraging the name. The result has generated some confusion that in turn may lead some to delay SDS-based deployments. In response, it is important to understand what SDS technology provides in order for the technology to be effectively leveraged to transform IT infrastructure.

In this session, we will discuss:

- What constitutes SDS technology, and more importantly how to identify solutions that may leverage the term but may not meet expectations
- What benefits your organization should expect from SDS technology
- What advanced capabilities and features to look for in order to ensure that your organization is able to maximize the benefits of SDS.

Join Enterprise Strategy Group and Datera to learn how to understand software-defined storage and the transformational benefits it provides.

In this demo, we will show how easy it is to deploy a Datera cluster and a Kuberenetes cluster in the Google Cloud Platform. Datera is deployed in Google Compute Engine and Kubernetes is installed in Google Container Engine. We will install and configure Datera's Kubernetes persistent storage driver, and then using Kubernetes, deploy and manage a CockroachDB cluster (running in Docker containers). The Datera cluster will serve persistent storage to the CockroachDB and seamlessly provision and scale storage as CockroachDB scales.

This video shows how to create a Datera System and join 8 nodes. The process uses the Datera Initialiation UI, the join UI, and joining nodes via API.

Discover how to create flexible, API-focused scale-out storage that supports today’s demanding enterprise applications. Join the live webinar from Datera and Packet.net for an advanced customer case study and technical deep dive.

Viewers will get insights on how elastic block storage is evolving in on-premises clouds, challenges with current storage solutions scaling beyond a rack, and data center alternatives for service providers and cloud builders. Learn about Datera’s unique solution to scale easily across the data center and hear from Packet.net on how they are operationalizing Datera Elastic Block Storage.

This insightful webinar is designed for service providers and data center professionals chartered with providing a high performance, consistent and profitable elastic block storage.

Join Platform9 and Datera to learn how their software solutions can provide the DevOps agility, and operational simplicity of the cloud for containers. Mainstream adoption of stateful applications have been foundational for containerized applications to get widely deployed.

With Datera Elastic Data Fabric and Platform9 Managed Kubernetes, customers can manage any application on Containers.

You will learn:

How to automate provisioning
How this solution simplifies operations and management
How to save costs with elasticity

Join Google and Datera to learn how you can reap the benefits of the cloud without losing performance as Containers become the new paradigm using Datera Elastic Fabric Storage System and Kubernetes for Container Orchestration. Register for a chance to win an Apple Watch 2.

Containers are rapidly maturing. As container adoption continues to grow beyond stateless applications to stateful workloads such as MySQL, Kafka, Cassandra, and Couchbase, the need for persistent storage is foundational. To make business workloads adoption grow on container platforms, it is imperative to simplify persistent storage provisioning and consumption.

In this webinar, Google Product Manager, Strategic Initiatives, Google Cloud Platform Martin Buhr joins Datera’s Head of Product Ashok Rajagopalan to discuss:

- how stateful applications can be automated to scale
- new storage solutions and deployment models that provide agility, and
- flexibility - the benefits of deploying and using persistent storage

IT decision-makers and influencers such as IT Directors, Managers, Architects, and Storage Administrators are dealing with serious pain points and challenges in managing their storage infrastructures for today and tomorrow. Enterprises are trapped in a world with legacy fixed silo-based storage infrastructure wanting to transform to a world with flexible, agile, and scaleable application-driven, software-defined data infrastructure. So how do you get of that trap? “Flip the Switch” to Datera Elastic Data Fabric storage infrastructure. What the attendees will learn?

- What Datera's software-defined storage solution has to offer from a price-performance flexibility standpoint for massively virtualized applications in VMware environments.

- How to scale on demand without the need for extensive capacity planning.

- How to automate your storage infrastructure and improve resource utilization for all diverse business demands.

- How to achieve the AWS/Public Cloud-like operational model for On-Prem storage.

- How to future proof your data infrastructure beyond Virtualized environments into the dev-ops centric, container-based, micro-services oriented applications.

Datera Founder & CEO presents the company visions and strategy. We’re moving very quickly toward a world where every business runs its IT on its own private cloud, which comes with new requirements on operations and consumption of infrastructure, as well as new success metrics.

The data center of tomorrow will be defined by enterprise applications and the developers that build them. To remain competitive, every company will need an easy, automated, grow-as-you-go model that keeps them agile. This will provide more time with their apps on the market and more opportunity to take advantage of commodity hardware.

On September 27th, Datera invites you to join an exclusive event where you will hear from leading industry visionaries and experts who will offer executive-level insights into cloud technologies, processes, and solutions needed to keep pace with the speed of business.

Key experts from Comcast, Google and Mesosphere will be discussing the storage for clouds landscape and how it is changing fast and open source solutions, like Ceph, are just not delivering on the promise.

This is the storage breakthrough EMC, NetApp and HP don’t want you to know about. Don't make your next storage infrastructure investment on a legacy solution. Find out how an intent defined, infrastructure aware, API-first Dev/Ops, cloudy approach to storage streamlines application infrastructure operations and dramatically improves storage economics for private cloud operators.
