NAND Flash memory has already had huge effects on improving the performance of enterprise applications. However, we have just begun to see the long-term picture. Flash will find even more uses in the future with all-flash arrays, server-side and storage-side caches, and even cold storage coming into play. Real-time analytics, involving both structured and unstructured data, will be a key area of interest. New developments such as flash on the memory bus and persistent storage-class memory will further expand the range. Data centers will need to take full advantage of flash memory at every level – in computers, in servers, in networks, and in storage systems.
The intended audience is CIOs, CTOs, IT managers, application administrators, database administrators, application developers, data center architects, storage architects, infrastructure architects, system architects, storage engineers, storage specialists, software engineers, storage managers, network engineers, marketing engineers, market analysts, consultants, VARs, OEMs, solution providers and end users.
Admission is free to all qualified IT managers, application administrators, database administrators, storage administrators, enterprise application developers, data center architects, market analysts, press and end-users.
