  • #62 – The Future of Data Infrastructure with Scott Hamilton
    This is the third of a series of three podcasts recorded at Flash Memory Summit 2018.  In this conversation, Chris talks to Scott Hamilton, Senior Director of Product Management, DCS group at Western Digital Corporation.  WDC are working on a new architecture that will deliver a composable data infrastructure for the enterprise.  This podcast discussed why composable is needed and exactly what scale of customers will benefit from the disaggregation of compute and storage.
    WDC are not looking to move into the general infrastructure market with this solution, but rather are developing an open standard to which other vendors can design and integrate products.  This is also intended for large-scale customers that have hundreds of petabytes to exabytes of storage to process.
    The discussion covers some of the issues we’re going to encounter over the next few years, as analytics (whether ML/AI or otherwise) become more widespread.  Data is the new renewable resource, with continual improvements in algorithms set to allow data to be processed and reprocessed over time.
    The conversation ends with a brief mention of products.  More details on the OpenFlex platform, F3000 and D3000 offerings can be found online here.

  • #61 – Introduction to NVM Express with Amber Huffman
    This is the second of a series of podcasts recorded at Flash Memory Summit 2018 in Santa Clara.  In this episode, Chris talks to Amber Huffman, Intel Fellow and President and founder of NVM Express Inc.  NVM Express is the standards body that governs the development of the NVMe base standard, NVMe-MI (Management Interface) and NVMe over Fabrics.  Amber explains how standards’ bodies are initially established, including the ongoing ownership of intellectual property.  The discussion continues, looking at how NVM Express standards are developed by committee, how the body is funded and how the process of wider education in the industry is managed.
    More details on NVM Express can be found at https://nvmexpress.org/, or by following the NVM Express Twitter account (https://twitter.com/nvmexpress).
    Update: Amber was awarded the inaugural SuperWomen in Flash Leadership Award at FMS 2018.  Read more on this recognition here.

  • #60 – New Data Economy with Derek Dicker
    This week Chris is attending the Flash Memory Summit in Santa Clara.  This is the first of three podcast recordings from the event and is a conversation with Derek Dicker CVP and GM of the Storage Business Unit at Micron.
    Derek participated in a keynote session at the event and talked about the challenges of managing new data types.  This includes processing data coming from a range of new sources, as well as providing capabilities to do new processing like analytics at the core and edge.  The interesting part of the discussion is how ML/AI system designs will require significantly more DRAM as well as flash.  Not surprisingly, Micron is expecting their new enterprise QLC drive to be a basis for managing future capacity.
    In this recording we were able to resolve the origins of the Idaho Spud, a delicious piece of confectionery that usually accompanies Calvin Zito on his travels.  Thanks for clearing that one up Derek!
    Derek’s presentation was entitled QLC Flash: Meeting the Challenges of the New Data Economy and linked here.

  • #59 – Ethernet vs Fibre Channel
    This week’s podcast looks at storage networking and in particular the choice of using Ethernet vs Fibre Channel as the network protocol.  Traditionally, enterprise storage platforms have been Fibre Channel connected, with only a small amount of iSCSI usage.  However, the world isn’t just block storage and in fact, as guest Marty Lans (General Manager, Storage Connectivity Engineering & Global Interoperability Business Unit at HPE) tells us, 80% of storage is Ethernet connected.  This is because of the growth in unstructured data stored on NAS and object stores.
    Ethernet storage now includes lossless Ethernet (DCB) and has done for some time.  Ethernet is faster than Fibre Channel in raw throughput, yet Fibre Channel continues to see modest growth, according to Lans.  The next wave of storage networking is coming along with the introduction of NVMe.  This will bring FC-NVMe and NVMe-oF protocols, both improving performance for shared storage.  So is it the end for Fibre Channel, should the default be to move to Ethernet?  The answer isn’t that clear cut, as Marty explains.
