Lightbits delivers the flexibility, simplicity and efficiency of hyperscale storage on premise by disaggregating storage and compute (and scaling them independently) over standard network

In this 30-minute webinar, we'll discuss the origins of Ceph and why it's a great solution for highly scalable, capacity optimized storage pools. You’ll learn how and where Ceph shines but also where its architectural shortcomings make Ceph a sub-optimal choice for today's high performance, scale-out databases and other key web-scale software infrastructure solutions. 
 
Participants will learn:
• The evolution of Ceph
• Ceph applicability to infrastructures such as OpenStack, OpenShift and other Kubernetes orchestration environments
• Why Ceph can't meet the block storage challenges of modern, scale-out, distributed databases, analytics and AI/ML workloads:
• Where Cephs falls short on consistent latency response
• Overcoming Ceph’s performance issues during rebuilds
• How you can deploy high performance, low latency block storage in the same environments Ceph integrates with, alongside your Ceph deployment

The Evolution of Ceph: Where it Falls Short, and Overcoming These Challenges

Cloud Native is the new normal - we hear about it all the time, but what does it really mean for storage? As cloud native databases proliferate, how can organizations scale efficiently to improve agility and competitiveness? And how can organizations address the challenge of protecting data, while at the same time, maximizing capacity utilization and performance while adding minimal latency?

Join today’s episode to learn about the reality many organizations are facing when it comes to juggling the requirements of cloud native databases and the limitations of local flash storage, what the key restrictions are and how you can avoid the tradeoffs in your organizations. Storage should enhance applications and databases - not dictate their behavior. 
 
Participants will learn:
- The storage needs and best practices for cloud native databases that are proliferating in today’s data centers
- Pitfalls of deploying only local flash and application based replication
- Strategies infrastructure teams can implement to improve performance, increase reliability and lower cost in cloud native environments
- How to decouple data protection from database instances for independent scaling of applications and storage

Cloud Native Databases Meet Cloud Native Storage

As enterprises and service providers adopt cloud-native applications and practices, building the infrastructure to support these environments in the most economical and efficient way is critical.

In this webinar, you'll find out real strategies hyperscalers including Facebook, Google, and Salesforce, have deployed that you can emulate to more efficiently:

· Optimize Performance
· Manage CapEx and OpEx
· Run Capacity Planning
· Maximize Utilization
· Manage Supply Chain

Presented by Amir Michael who spent almost two decades building true web-scale infrastructure at Facebook, Google and Salesforce and Alexey Stolyar, Development Director at ICC, one of the world’s leading system integration companies.

Emulating Hyperscale Infrastructure: Lessons from Facebook, Google & Salesforce

Join Lightbits Labs and Intel in this joint webinar on deploying compute, storage and networking in edge data centers. You'll learn why compute and storage is being pushed to the edge (vs. central cloud), what benefits this produces and the challenges that must be overcome for successful deployment and operation. 

We'll discuss the central role that network latency plays at the edge and how technologies from Intel and Lightbits Labs can help you solve the low latency challenges in networking and storage.

When Ceph is Not Enough: There’s a new kid on the “block”

Organizations in IoT, Gaming, Logistics, Banking need their infrastructure to evolve quickly and scale efficiently to handle their most demanding applications. Most often, these next generation applications are deployed on non-relational distributed (NoSQL) databases such as MongoDB which require careful planning for scale, performance, and high availability. In this case, the storage engine you choose to rely on for efficient data access is critical.

Micron® testing has proven that SSDs combined with storage software optimized for flash are the cornerstones of data-centric application performance. Join this technical conversation to learn how Micron and Lightbits Labs can help your organization with faster data access to storage and improved endurance, utilization, and more cost-effective ways to maximize your infrastructure investments for NoSQL Databases, specifically MongoDB.

Attendees will discover:
• An intro to recently released open-source Micron Heterogeneous-Memory Storage Engine (HSE) for Linux® servers
• How to use HSE to manage data I/O to dramatically improve overall database performance
• How to enable redundant storage without triple replication
• How to deliver a scalable, highly available, high performance, and optimally utilized database environment

Scalable High Performance Storage For NoSQL Databases

In this 30-minute webinar, we'll discuss how Containers are moving from a stateless micro-service oriented compute infrastructure to a stateful one - requiring persistent storage. Persistent storage for Kubernetes is readily available but persistent storage that performs like local NVMe flash, not so much.

Participants will learn:
• Why stateful applications are gaining ground in the container space
• The types of stateful applications that benefit from Kubernetes orchestration
• Shortcomings of "just use local flash", persistence is only part of the story
• Why applications that are "shared nothing" and protect data themselves can still benefit from shared storage 
• How you can deploy high performance, low latency block storage in Kubernetes environments and get great performance, increased reliability and lower cost
