Data Center Therapy

It’s a debate as old as modern, virtualized computing itself: Which storage protocol(s) should you deploy in your infrastructure?

Given decades of development, such as the speeds of Ethernet links increasing and the CPU/processing power growing in modern servers, you’d think the landscape would tilt in a particular direction so long after these debates started. However, in this episode of Data Center Therapy, our hosts-with-the-most  duke it out on the storage battlefield to build their respective cases for their preferred protocols and practices.

For our inaugural #Live episode we brought former Data Center Therapy host and current Pure Storage Engineer, Chris Crow, for a joyous reunion with the Matts.

Chris cooked up a big ‘ole plate of storage appetizer topics to educate our listeners about brand-new flash technologies like vVols, wear-leveling basics, flash connected to host PCI-Express busses, NVMe latency benefits, etc. 

If you’d like to talk with IVOXY and Pure about how to put these technologies into action in your environment, you can get an awesome gift in the process by visiting our new Modern Data Pop-up: ivoxy.com/pop-up
