EMCWorld – 2 days down
Day 2 at EMCworld ended with a bang. Lots of great sessions and lots of fun. So far I have seen:
- The future of consumer driven IT
- Enterprise IT growing and being as nimble as consumer technology
- Virtualized information world, where people no longer work on “documents” at “deskops” but work with information from anywhere
- Imagine the portability of apps like facebook and twitter applied to LOB apps
- Great advances in Avamar to backup and restore VMs
- 6.0 includes block-level restoration processes
- This could allow for an always on hot-site capable of near immediate fail-over
- VPlex GEO
- Enabling active/active datacenters and workload migratin across the country
- Exchange BCDR practices and how to imporve them with RecoverPoint
- Project Lightning – allowing FASTCache capabilities on individual servers
- This could speed up large Databases, key LOB systems, and even VMware
- This could also lessen the backend SAN requirements and allow lower cost disks
- Advances in Oracle and ASM
- Moving management of ASM volumes from the DBA to the storage admin
- This allows the DBA to worry about the DB environment, and the storage admin to worry about the storage and performance
- Database Cloud
Thats only the first few pages of notes! More to come soon
