Abstract:
The modern storage landscape is changing at an exciting rate. New technologies, new applications, new regulations, and new metrics place new constraints and requirements on how data may be read and written. Designing storage systems that satisfy these constraints is interesting and challenging. In this talk, I will describe the lessons we learnt from tackling this challenge in various forms.
