DataCore Tech Evangelist and VMware Principal Architect to Deliver Joint
Seminar on Ways to Improve Application Performance and Manage Storage Vendors
Under a Single Pane of Glass
WHO:
Todd
Mace is tech evangelist at DataCore
Software, where he focuses on storage and performance
abstraction. He recently was a co-author on this subject and has been honored
to speak at many industry events. His current certifications include: MCSE,
MCT, VCP5 and he is also recognized as a VMware vExpert.
Rawlinson Rivera is a
principal architect in the office of the CTO of the storage and availability
business unit at VMware, Inc. He specializes in cloud enterprise architectures,
Hyper-converged Infrastructures (HCI) and is primarily focused on
Software-Defined Storage products and technologies such as Virtual SAN, and
vSphere Virtual Volumes, as well as storage related solutions for OpenStack and
Cloud-Native Applications. He serves as a trusted adviser to VMware's customers
primarily in the US. Rawlinson is among the few VMware Certified Design Experts
(VCDX #86) in the world, and author of multiple books based on VMware and other
technologies.
WHAT:
DataCore
Software and VMware will be hosting an informative breakfast seminar to discuss
ways to improve application performance and manage various storage vendors from
a single pane of glass, while reducing costs.
Mace and Rivera will
overview DataCore's storage software abstraction with VMware vSphere Virtual
Volumes (VVols) support. While many administrators crave the power and
fine-grain control that vSphere Virtual Volumes offers, most current storage
arrays and systems do not support it or are not currently certified as VVol
capable. This capability enabled by DataCore allows VVols to work universally
across all kinds of storage (disk subsystems, flash / SSD arrays, DAS, etc.)
and enables VMware vSphere administrators to self-provision virtual volumes
from virtual storage pools. This gives them the ability to instantly specify
the capacity and class of service needed for their applications without having
to know anything about the storage or underlying hardware.
DataCore's implementation of
VVols enables customers to realize its benefits on legacy storage and arrays
that are not yet slotted to receive VVols, allowing un-certified storage gear
to receive the benefit today. Rivera and Mace will also cover Storage
Policy-Based Management as well as Heterogeneity High Availability (HA).
WHEN:
The
VMware and DataCore breakfast seminar will be held on Wednesday, May 4th
at 8:30 - 10:30 a.m.
