DEEP DIVE - Storage - The Path to Performance Location: Breakers L
When one looks at the main benefits of storage networking people often cite performance. Performance means many things to many people in the IT world. This two hour session identifies just what aspects of performance are and are not critical to the successful deployment of these storage and storage networking technologies. We will look at the different kinds of information flow requirements and how best to map those to storage infrastructures today. We will examine the best place to invest for performance as well as talk about some of the performance "myths" as well. Session topics will include: Performance Elements - What's Important Storage Device & Controller Technology - Performance Enablers Storage Networking: Bit Rate, Bandwidth, Latency & Throuput The Role of iSCSI and Fibre Channel in today's data center Unified Fabric and FCoE Developments

Deduplication and Single Instance Storage: Practical Applications for Backups, Archiving, and Primary Storage Location: Breakers L
Deduplication (dedupe) and single instance storage (SIS) are perhaps the hottest topics in the storage industry. EMC just acquired a dedupe startup for over two billion dollars! Meanwhile, all of the leading backup vendors are scrambling to integrate dedupe into their products. But this is just the beginning of a major new technology trend! Dedupe offers benefits not just for backups, but also for cloud storage, archiving, virtual desktops, and even primary storage for high performance production servers and VMs. This session is broken into three parts: 1) The first section discusses the fundamental technology of dedupe, revealing both the shortcomings of current approaches and the opportunities for new solutions. 2) The second section focuses on dedupe for backups. We illustrate different ways to integrate dedupe into backup systems as well as revealing non-dedupe approaches that might deliver similar results at lower costs. 3) Lastly, we describe applications for dedupe and SIS in rich media archives, virtual desktops, and primary storage.

Converged and Virtual I/O – Networking the 21st Century Data Center Location: Breakers L
By adopting server virtualization we’ve reduced the number of physical servers in the data center but the proliferation of separate storage, data, management and VMotion networks has made the back of our server racks look like an explosion in a spaghetti factory. Now that 10Gigabit Ethernet is widely available several solutions have arisen to consolidate network and storage I/O onto a smaller number of higher bandwidth connections. With consolidated networking users can stop playing the game of one cable, two cable, orange cable, blue cable.
This session will explore the solutions available to server and storage administrators for reducing cable clutter and consolidating network and storage I/O. Ranging from Fibre Channel NPIV and using vLANs to segregate data traffic to cutting edge technologies including Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE) and PCIe extension, We’ll look at the technologies, the players, the politics and how users can integrate new technologies into their short and long term planning.
Topics include:
· I/O virtualization for management and security
· The state of FCoE
· End of Row vs. Top of Rack configurations
· External I/O virtualization solutions
· 10Gig Ethernet, CEE, DCB, DCE – Ethernet for the Data Center

VT1 - Virtualization Management Day - Optimization, Automation, Storage and Security Location: Mandalay Bay L
Once an organization has completed the initial server virtualization/consolidation phase, it becomes clear that the right advanced management tools along with the right policies and processes are required to better monitor, manage, secure, troubleshoot and tune this new virtual infrastructure, to reap the full benefits of operational efficiency and IT agility. IT managers have to sift through the plethora of virtualization management solutions to identify which products are really ready for prime time, and then how to match their particular needs with available solutions. In addition, many shops with traditional Enterprise Systems Management solutions are wondering how new management tools integrate with/utilize what they already have. In addition to operational management, successfully moving towards full virtualization requires optimization and automation of the virtual infrastructure – creating a self-managing compute factory. Add self-service provisioning and a service catalog to the mix and you have a private cloud, which may extend to public/hybrid cloud computing.
Attendees of this workshop will gain:
• Insight into the impact the new virtual infrastructure has on IT and the challenges it creates
• An understanding of the base management functions that come from virtualization vendors as well as the add-on tools available from startups and long time management players
• An understanding of the requirements, options and best practices for managing all the aspects of the virtual infrastructure including
o Virtual machine lifecycle, VM image management and provisioning (IT and self-service based)
o Capacity management across the virtual and physical infrastructure
o Application performance management from the application through the virtual and physical layers
o Root cause analysis and fault monitoring and management
o Data protection, backup, disaster recovery and storage management
o Securing the virtual environment, from switches to trust zones to hypervisor integrated security
• An independent look at the different approaches of virtualization management solutions
• Considerations for choosing and implementing virtualization management solutions
• How virtualization and advanced management capabilities enable cloud computing – how do you get there from here?
• An update on the recent changes and future of virtualization management
• A discussion of various vendor alternatives and experiences moving beyond consolidation to advanced virtualization management and virtualization-enabled cloud computing
You Will Learn
During this workshop, industry analysts and virtualization experts from FOCUS will discuss the challenges that come with the new virtual infrastructure and the move to cloud computing, and the types of solutions available for virtualization management, optimization and automation.
Who Should Attend
This workshop targets IT managers and administrators who are looking to fulfill the full promise of virtualization and the move to cloud computing, especially around improving operational efficiencies, optimization, and automation – improving IT agility while reducing costs.
