Matt Crape is a first-time Tech Field Day delegate but he’s jumping in with a series of blog posts about the presenters. Here’s his take on Igneous Systems, which seems to be getting a lot of delegate interest! Matt details their dataBox storage device, which can leverage local storage for cloud-native apps to provide improved speeds for users, as well as mitigating privacy and security concerns.
Tech Field Day 12 Primer: Rubrik
First-time Field Day delegate Matt Crape takes a look at Rubrik, a familiar face at the event series. He talks about their various configurable “briks” hardware appliances and their scale-out approach, which allows for superior dedupe and compression rates compared to legacy systems. He then dives into their Firefly release (announced at Tech Field Day 10) and how data can be managed by policy to promote simplicity. Watch Matt’s blog and twitter during and after Rubrik’s Nov. 16 presentation to learn more!
DriveScale set to make first ever Tech Field Day appearance!
Mike Preston takes a look at DriveScale, a company founded in 2013 by former executives from Nuova, Sun Microsystems, and Silicon Image, but just out of stealth mode this May. He tries to make sense of their scale-up/scale-out pitch, which allows them to add compute or capacity vertically or horizontally with access arbitrated by software defined physical nodes and DriveScale’s Management Server, with connectivity via 10 Gb Ethernet. Mike is really looking forward to a deep dive into the product at Tech Field Day in November!
Igneous bringing the cloud to you at Tech Field Day
Mike Preston continues his investigation into Tech Field Day presenters with a look at Igneous.IO, a “true cloud for local data”. The Igneous solution is like nothing we’ve seen before – a hardware cloud system deployed inside a data center but with pay-as-you-go pricing. Best of all, they install and manage the system throughout its lifetime. It’s compatible with Amazon and Google API’s, so it should work with existing applications. It sounds like Mike and the Field Day delegates are very interested in learning more!
