Where Do We Draw the Line Between Storage Infrastructure and Data – Storage Field Day Roundtable

Infrastructure is no longer the focus of enterprise IT, with the value of data and applications rising in prominence. Although infrastructure software and services are critical areas of consideration, the individual components that underly these systems are no longer as important. Most compute, memory, storage, and networking components function and perform similarly, so it takes a truly exceptional device to rise above the abstraction of datacenter and cloud platforms. Even when we do talk about IT infrastructure we are often referring to infrastructure as a service (cloud) or infrastructure as code not individual devices.

This roundtable discussion is moderated by Stephen Foskett of Gestalt IT and features commentary by Ray Lucchesi, Enrico Signoretti, Richard Kenyan, Andy Banta, Glenn Dekhayser, Frederic Van Haren, Gina Rosenthal, and Max Mortillaro.
