Douglas Fallstrom, VP Products, discusses deployment of Hammerspace in Amazon Web Services (AWS). Hammerspace can easily be deployed in AWS, Microsoft Azure, or Google Cloud Platform (GCP) in the cloud with full automation. In this demonstration, Hammerspace is deployed using Amazon Cloud Formation in 15 minutes across three locations. He then demonstrates the Hammerspace dashboard, showing multiprotocol access to storage across the global file system, replication of metadata, creation of data, reading and writing across sites, adding a shared volume, and adding another location. Hammerspace CEO David Flynn also joins the discussion for a whiteboard discussion with the Storage Field Day delegates, discussing multi-site data access.


Storageless Data with Hammerspace

Personnel: David Flynn

David Flynn, Founder and CEO of Hammerspace, presents the “storageless data” concept at Storage Field Day 21. He discusses data gravity, serverless compute, and how these relate to the storageless data concept. Data today exists in corporate datacenters, public clouds, and edge sites, and modern data cannot be bound to specific hardware, protocols, or locations. A storageless approach must be a global data storage manager that is multi-vendor, multi-protocol, and provides a metadata service, direct data routing, and objective-based data orchestration, and provides data universally, across different data centers and protocols.

Cloud-Wash vs. Cloud-Native with Nasuni

Personnel: Andres Rodriguez, Tom Rose

Nasuni VP of Technical Marketing Tom Rose discusses the trend of “cloud washing” products that aren’t cloud-native. Large infrastructure vendors, are trying to stay relevant in the cloud era. They are acquiring cloud companies to offer new cloud services, but in the file storage category, the challenge they face is that their technologies were not designed for the cloud. So, when they “lift-and-shift” their software and hardware into the cloud, many of the advantages the cloud offers – lower cost, simpler IT administration, unlimited capacity on-demand – are not realized. This session addresses key differentiators of being cloud-native through several customer use cases and side-by-side cost comparisons.

Anne Blanchard, Sr. Director of Product Marketing, introduces Nasuni at Storage Field Day 21. Enterprise file storage is complex, expensive, and rigid. Infrastructure is moving to the cloud, so why not file storage (NetApp, Dell, Windows)? Nasuni helps enterprises move file storage and backup to the cloud with a simpler and lower cost approach. Our SaaS platform was built for the cloud and we are the only solution that couples a global file system with object storage. Nasuni paired with Azure, AWS, or Google Cloud gives you unlimited file capacity on-demand, built-in backup and DR, and file sharing across all locations while saving 50+%.

Database performance used to be simple: Everything was limited by the performance of those spinning metal platters, and customers had to buy a lot of them. All-flash storage arrays have solved those problems while creating a new challenge – figuring out what is needed. Is it IOPS? Is it latency? Is it networking? Is it the query logic? This discussion will cover the basics of database IO performance and how to ensure that your storage purchase is meeting real-world needs in a cost-effective way.
