Mark your calendars!
Exploding information growth and storage demand are putting increased pressure on organizations to optimize primary storage capacity. Data deduplication and compression are gaining popularity in both file and block scenarios for primary storage. Deduplication has predominantly been used in backup applications, and is now moving into primary storage (e.g. NetApp's A-SIS). Compression technologies have been available for many years but have also recently been gaining popularity in optimizing primary storage (e.g. Storwize).
Top analysts suggest that, along with unified support of block and file data on the same storage, data optimization techniques will become "table stakes" for primary storage.
On June 7th, 2010, Permabit announced Albireo, a software-based storage optimization technology that is designed to be embedded into storage infrastructure, including primary storage. On Tuesday June 8th, the Wikibon community will be joined by Jered Floyd, Chief Technology Officer and Founder of Permabit. He will participate in a discussion on the topic of primary storage optimization and share details of an innovative new technology to reduce capacity at the primary storage layer.
Please join us as we discuss:
What are the options for primary storage optimization? What are the trade-offs users should consider regarding rates of reduction and system performance? Where in the stack does it make sense to place optimization function? Should the optimization function be inline or post-process?
