If you’re attending HP Discover in Las Vegas this year be sure and signup for the many great sessions that focus on VMware and virtualization in general. I’ll be speaking at two sessions, the first is a panel of HP experts on storage & virtualization that is moderated by Calvin Zito where you can ask us anything you want related to that topic. The other session is focused on choosing storage protocols for VMware environments. The information on these sessions is below:
TB2713 – Ask the Experts: Storage for VMware virtualization (Panel) (Wednesday 6/6 – 2:45-3:30)
You got questions? We got answers! Have a burning question that you want answered related to storage for VMware environments, bring it to this session and get it answered. This roundtable session will be comprised of technical experts who will answer audience questions on any topic related to storage for VMware virtualization. They will also discuss some frequent and popular topics on storage for virtualized environments. The session will be led by a moderator and composed of HP experts on storage and virtualization.
TB2708 – File or block? Choosing the right storage for a VMware virtualized environment (Tuesday 6/5 – 11:15–12:00)
Choosing a storage solution to use with virtualization is one of the most critical and challenging architecture choices you will make. With so many options, it can be overwhelming trying to satisfy the needs of your virtual environment. This session will review the pros and cons of each type of storage (Fibre Channel, iSCSI and NAS) and suggest where each would fit best. It will explain the differences between each storage type as well as highlight their strengths and weaknesses. We will explore the facts and myths around storage protocols and architectures for vSphere environments and provide attendees with all the information they need to make informed storage decisions.
There are some additional must-see sessions that you’ll want to check-out and be sure and attend David Scott’s keynote (BB2073) to hear his always insightful view on storage and as a bonus snag a pass to an exclusive storage party at Club XS at the Wynn. If you’re into a very technical deep dive on VMware storage integration and tuning be sure and check out Aboubacar Diare’s sesson (TB2757). Aboubacar is a Master Technologist and is very involved with VMware storage integration. So head on over to the Session Catalog and sign up.
