Orchestrating open-source storage solutions for more efficient IT

Partnered with Intel® and OSNEXUS


Open-Source

This session will discuss open-source software defined storage (SDS) approaches and how they can help organizations future proof their data center storage architectures by reducing hardware vendor lock-in, enabling more flexible capacity provisioning and management, and the automation of self-service processes across on-prem, edge, cloud and data center locations.

It will cover:

  • The difference between SDS and traditional storage configurations, and why SDS can be beneficial for organizations.
  • Scale-up vs scale-out storage and how networking requirements differ for each.
  • The best storage architecture for backup and archive use cases.
  • Challenges of migrating data to SDS from legacy systems and how to overcome them.
  • How Supermicro, Intel® and OSNexus have worked together to optimize their server and storage products to better meet customer SDS requirements.
