MSST 2014 Speaker
Russ McElroy, eBay, Inc.
The paradigm of storage has and will continue to shift in even more dramatic ways in the next few years as NAND advances and storage class memory comes onto the scene. Now is the time for infrastructure providers and their suppliers to plan for the all-digital data center by incorporating solid state storage technology in even the most historically challenging areas. We will address TCO inflection points, the legacy challenges around using flash as flash and how the technologies will be critical to scaling out data centers now and in the future.
