There is an enormous amount going on this week that you should be aware of. We are sponsoring, exhibiting and speaking at two events, the Storage Developer Conference in Santa Clara and SUSECon in Orlando.
The Storage Developer Conference in Santa Clara will run from Sep 17 -20. We will have an Inktank exhibit table and Sage Weil, the creator of Ceph will present “Scaling Storage to the Cloud and Beyond with Ceph” on Wed Sep 19 at 3.20pm. This talk will discuss the distributed object storage layer, and ways in which it can be leveraged for cloud applications.
Meanwhile on the other side of the country, SUSECon will be taking place Sep 18 – 21. We will also be exhibiting and our Sr. Ceph Developer, Tommi Virtanen (@TV) will present “Ceph: Operations and Deployments“ on Wed Sep 19 at 1pm. This talk will explore several core Ceph concepts that enable a Single Point of Failure (SPOF)-free architecture in every aspect, including initial-deployment. This talk will also show how to enable efficient data center operations for handling hardware and software failures. Finally it will introduce product functionality that integrates with various dev-ops tools, such as Chef, Puppet and Crowbar, allowing each to deploy Ceph according to their individual strengths.
