Every large-scale research organization needs to understand new options for managing and preserving massive data collections. In this session, Bruce Gilpin (Co-founder and CEO of Versity Software) will show you why traditional approaches to mass storage are rapidly becoming obsolete.
Advances in sensor technologies, computational power, and data analytics technologies are producing larger and larger data sets that must be managed efficiently to maximize the utility of data that is collected and to free budgetary resources for scientific discovery.
Bruce will identify and explain the key problems with legacy approaches to data management and describe a next generation software platform that has fundamentally new and different capabilities in terms of capacity, throughput, and advanced features.
You will learn about key mass storage architectural paradigms and understand trade offs. You will learn about how S3 data streams can co-exist with tape storage systems. And you will learn about new ways to create and harvest rich metadata for the benefit of researchers.
This is a presentation focused on arming you with the latest commercial and technical information you need to plan a successful large-scale storage system leveraging new technologies.
