About this Session

The recent data explosion is a huge challenge for storage and IT system designers. How do you crunch all that data at a reasonable cost? Fortunately, your familiar SAS comes to the rescue with its new 24G speed. Its flexible connection scheme already allows designers to scale huge external storage systems with low latency. Now the new high operating speed offers the throughput you need to bring big data to its knobby knees! Our panel of storage experts will present practical solutions to today’s petabyte problems and beyond.

STA will also be exhibiting in Booth #708. Please be sure to stop by to see us and chat with storage industry experts.

STA to Present at Storage Developer Conference, September 24-27

Cameron Brett, STA Board Member and Director, SSD Product Marketing at Toshiba Memory Corporation, will be presenting "Building an All-Flash Array with SAS, SATA, or NVMe" at Storage Developer Conference taking place in Santa Clara, CA on September 24-27, 2019. SAS, SATA, and NVMe SSDs are all now widely available in ever-larger sizes at competitive prices. Which makes the most sense in your all-flash array? Running high-performance applications such as databases or analytics requires tremendous bandwidth and lots of IOPS. Which interface does the best job? How about such issues as driver and OS support, compatibility with hard drives, upgrade paths, scalability, networking, and maintenance? Come listen to Cameron discuss the best solutions and help you gain a new understanding of what will do the job for you.
