  • I3 – Agile – Moving Mindsets to the Cloud May 12 2021 1:00 am UTC 45 mins
    Daniel Lewis, General Manager, Digital Operations, Casey Cardinia Libraries
    Some organisations have already moved to the cloud. Many are in the process of moving. And many more still believe their local instances are the only connections their staff use. Regardless of where you are on this journey, it is important to recognise the mindset that is driving you, your team and the decision-making process that will ultimately determine how successful your endeavours are.
    I3 – Identity, Infrastructure, and Insights. Thinking, strategizing, and planning technology and digital adoption around the user. These categories help thought leaders identify the key areas in which the Digital world meets the physical world.
    Agile Mindsets have been flowing the tech and business worlds like wildfire. This mindset, adopted to meet the specific needs and culture of the organisation will help focus on the end user to help avoid “goat tracks” and shadow IT from circumnavigating the digital intent of the organisation.

  • Great Storage Debate: Hyperconverged vs. Disaggregated vs. Centralized Recorded: May 4 2021 58 mins
    Christine McMonigal, Intel; John Kim, NVIDIA; Walt O'Brien, Dell; David McIntyre, Samsung
    In the ongoing evolution of the datacenter, a popular debate involves how storage is allocated and managed. There are three competing visions about how storage should be done; those are Hyperconverged Infrastructure (HCI), Disaggregated Storage, and Centralized Storage.

    IT architects, storage vendors, and industry analysts argue constantly over which is the best approach and even the exact definition of each. Isn’t Hyperconverged constrained? Is Disaggregated designed only for large cloud service providers? Is Centralized storage only for legacy applications?

    Tune in to debate these questions and more:
    • What is the difference between centralized, hyperconverged, and disaggregated infrastructure, when it comes to storage?
    • Where does the storage controller or storage intelligence live in each?
    • How and where can the storage capacity and intelligence be distributed?
    • What is the difference between distributing the compute or application and distributing the storage?
    • What is the role of a JBOF or EBOF (Just a Bunch of Flash or Ethernet Bunch of Flash) in these storage models?
    • What are the implications for data center, cloud, and edge?

    Join us on May 4, 2021 for another SNIA Networking Storage Forum Great Storage Debate as leading storage minds converge to argue the definitions and merits of where to put the storage and storage intelligence.

  • Hardware Accelerated Blockchain Operations Recorded: Apr 29 2021 57 mins
    Parmeshwr Prasad, Dell; Olga Buchonina, Chair SNIA Blockchain Storage Technical Work Group, ActionSpot
    The storage industry is working on ways to meet the demand for the very high throughput required for the volume of transactions per second in Blockchain operations.

    There have been numerous advancements in Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) and Application Specific Integrated Circuit (ASIC) logics to improve the number of transactions per second for Blockchain operations. But these FPGA/ASIC improvements will not be sufficient for increasing the demand of hardware resources required for Blockchain. Smart network interface cards (NICs) offload low-level functions from server CPUs, dramatically increasing network and application performance, offloading all network related processing.

    In this webcast, you will learn:
    • The features of a Smart Network Interface Card (SMART-NIC) and how this will improve Blockchain transactions
    • Why using SCM is ideal for in-memory databases
    • Advantages of direct data movement without involving filesystems

  • Great Expectations: The reality of DCIM Recorded: Apr 29 2021 47 mins
    David Cuthbertson, CEO, Square Mile Systems
    Is a DCIM toolset a simple way to manage the most complex of Data Centers? Or is it like many “single panes of glass” that set great expectations, but there is a hidden need to change people and processes before value is delivered. It is likely that some DCIM features will cause conflict with other team’s roles – so don’t expect everyone to” buy in”.

    Too many focus on the technical features of many DCIM packages (asset, connectivity, monitoring, capacity, workflow, etc.) thinking that gaps in standards, processes, data and skills will disappear. These gaps can only be solved by management initiatives, so there are basic issues to address before any toolset can deliver against expectations. Often existing toolsets can be better utilised so that projects can be implemented faster, risks reduced, change controlled, etc. – many of the expectations that are set where a DCIM tool is promoted as the only answer. Many organisations have managed their data centres effectively before DCIM toolsets, so not all get the same value.

    If your organisation or a client is currently considering a DCIM platform, then you will want to watch this webinar.

  • NVMe-oF: Looking Beyond Performance Hero Numbers Recorded: Mar 25 2021 56 mins
    Erik Smith, Dell Technologies; Rob Davis, NVIDIA; Nishant Lodha, Marvell; Alex McDonald, SNIA NSF Vice Chair
    Over the past several years, many in the NVMe over Fabrics (NVMe-oF) ecosystem have used test results demonstrating NVMe-oF’s dramatic reduction in latency as a way to extrapolate the benefit it can provide to application consumers. To date, the focus has been on specialized fabrics like RDMA and Fibre Channel (FC).

    Unfortunately, the more important questions have been left as an exercise for the buyer: “How does the transport really impact application performance?” and “How does the transport holistically fit into my environment?”


    RDMA based fabrics (e.g., RoCE) provide the lowest possible latency, and FC provides the most reliability, but with the introduction of NVMe/TCP this conversation must also include scale, cost and operations. This webcast will attempt to answer these questions beyond “it depends.”

    Gain insights from an industry wide panel of NVMe and fabric technology experts as they discuss the thought process you can use to determine pros and cons of a fabric for your environment, including:
    • Use cases driving fabric choices
    • NVMe transports and their strengths
    • Industry dynamics driving adoption
