Grid Storage? Unavoidable or Passing you by?

Storage and Network Convergence• the end of HBA’s, NICs – CNA’s in every server?

FCoE/DCB/DCE and CEE• the storage and network players and the ANSI/IEEE standards – are

we there yet?

What of IBM’s XIV, V7000, V3700?• a Seismic shift in the storage landscape is coming our way – Grid

Storage is unavoidable!

Will iSCSI survive beyond 10Gb • and why do you care/why should you care?

What of ANSI’s SCSI3 FC-SW and FC-AL standards and protocols?

• are we returning to the bad old days of vendor lock in across new world order of ‘converged infrastructure’? Last dance for FC-SW?

SAS • is better than you think but not for the reasons that you think!

Solid State Hard Drives• expensive? Maybe not………look again!
