Flash Meets Cloud: Uncertainty Panel
Technology Session with Citrix
Technology Session with VMware
Technology Session with MongoDB
Q&A with John Colgrove
Flash Meets Cloud: Keynote - Scott Dietzen
With flash revolutionizing data centers and cloud models transforming the architectures of both enterprise applications and service providers, there’s never been a better time or opportunity to step back and re-think the technology roadmap for your organization. Pure Storage CEO, Scott Dietzen, gives a look into how cloud architectures are impacting flash architectures and where they Pure Storage FlashArray is in the market
Keynote: Mendel Rosenblum
Co-Founder and former CTO of VMware, Mendel Rosenblum, shares his experiences in building the industry titan with EVOLVE attendees. He has been asked numerous times to evaluate immerging products but can't always see the vision. With VMware he was able to see it clearly. He attributes this to being able to capture the vision at a high level, which made it very clear what was going to happen in the industry.
What does it mean to deal with the uncertainties of flash, the cloud, and spinning disk? There are things to consider such as what it means to have information in "real time" and Karthik Ramasamy of Twitter argues that it means different things to different people. So how do you plan for that as a company?
In the world of data and storage, you don't always know how much you need, how you are going to grow and what your capacity needs are. Moderator Ben Woo, of Gigaom and Neuralytix, digs deep into the various uncertainties in the market and how you can prepare for them.
The advent of all flash storage is changing the landscape, removing the complexity associated with legacy storage, while delivering supercharged performance that allows you to virtualize mission critical applications with confidence. This session will explore architectural considerations and best practices that will allow you to virtualize your business critical application with Flash, as well as exploring new cloud architectures, like Database-as-a-Service, that are being enable by flash technologies.
Citrix believes there are 3 trends that are currently happening in the market and impacting the IT world:
1. Consumerization of IT - it is predicted that there will be 77 billion app downloads in 2014
2. Rapid adoption of public cloud infrastructure - this happened much quicker than anyone anticipated
3. End user experience
In the midst of all these things happening and the migration away from the desktop, it is Citrix's goal to help you work and live better. Join Rex Manseau and Thomas Berger as they discuss how they are helping forge the way for a better IT experience.
MongoDB is the sweet spot between features and performance; it makes it easy to code, scale and manage databases. 90% of the time storage is the bottleneck and you "don't need to reinvent the wheel." MongoDB Engineer, Antoine Girbal, shows EVOLVE attendees why they can put down their tools and how they can seamlessly integrate MongoDB to accelerate and enhance their performance.
"We have one religion [at Pure Storage]; its that disk should die"
