Organisations not only generate, process, and store more and more data, they also need to manage, protect and archive it for the long term while keeping it accessible for fast retrieval when reprocessing of the data is required. This is becoming even more important as Artificial Intelligence (AI) solutions rely on access to large amounts of data to train, fine-tune, and augment the underlying deep neural networks. As a result, IT teams are under increasing pressure to design and implement architectures, which can meet the requirements of these new applications, maintain them, and provide migration strategies which ensure the long-term protection and availability of the data.
Join this BoF session, to hear from data storage specialists, solution providers, integrators, and customers the latest architectures and solutions, challenges and pitfalls, and real-world experiences. We will cover different archiving paradigms (implicit vs. explicit archiving), protocols (S3, NFS, proprietary), storage technologies (SSD/disk/tape and emerging technologies), and storage formats.
You will leave this BoF with the insights needed to start developing your own long term archiving strategy and you will have met some of the foremost experts in the field, who can help refine and implement your strategy.
