On Thursday, November 10, 9:55 to 10:40 a.m. Pacific Time, Adam Carter, the company’s director of product management, will present a session titled “Benefits of All-SSD Architectures in the Cloud” based on his experience from companies such as SolidFire, LeftHand Networks, HP, and VMware.

Carter’s session will look at different methods and benefits of using SSDs for high-performance, primary storage within the cloud.
