In this section, Dirk will discuss Pure’s Portable Snapshots which provide the ability to create snapshots off Pure FlashArrays that are efficient and “smart”, even with data transfer. Portable Snapshots are self-describing, they encapsulate metadata, preserve compression, and only send delta changes between snaps, where versions of snaps might be flowing frequently.

Loris Degioanni, the founder of Sysdig, was a co-creator of WireShark, an open-source packet analyzer still used for network troubleshooting and analysis today. Loris’ insight during the early days of the cloud led him to realize there was going to be a major visibility problem in the cloud driven by the drastic increase in data and the ephemeral nature of containers. Thinking through this problem, he created Sysdig, a unified data approach to the cloud. Security, monitoring, and forensics start with a simple fact – data is data. Why silo data as “security data” or “performance data” when you can bring all of it to bear on any given problem?
