SAN, NAS, DAS Cage Match

I will be the main speaker on a webinar tomorrow hosted by Spiceworks and sponsored by Seagate where I will be discussing SAN, NAS, DAS, local storage, RLS and when they all apply. 10am Central (that's 11am Eastern, 8am Pacific.)

Awesome!

Nice. I'll be pulling for DAS/local storage as the all around general solution. And the rest only to be used where the use case would need them. That partly comes from seeing SANs over used and used for the wrong reason.

I'm on the call now, show starts in ten.

Hundreds of people on already!

To bad the chat shows my real name so no one knows who I am.

Uh Oh I think I started a fight in the chat over ZFS and Btrfs haha

That was you? Man some of those people were really into ZFS.
-
That was a really good overview and conversation... I wish the chat hadn't gone hardcore into FreeNAS vs FreeBSD....

Oh I missed that. Saw mention of ZFS fly by but it was hard to read while talking.

They always are. That's why I wrote that article

I think Linda was trying to sell her services. Her company is solely based on ZFS and FreeBSD as well as Solaris(who still uses that).
-
Is replicated local storage the same as software defined storage? I kind of missed that when you were talking and have been meaning to ask it.

Ah ha, that makes sense. Solaris is actually alive and well and a really awesome platform. That's what powers the M9000 that I mentioned. I'd love to be in a situation where we could justify a lot of Solaris.

Sort of. SDS has been applied to a lot of existing technologies.
-
Damn it, I missed it. How'd it go?

It was a lot of good information from many of @scottalanmiller's articles/blogs compressed into an hour long talk.
I would like to hear more about your RAID study, although I figured that was probably part of your thesis.

I can't tell really. Since I was talking to thin air. Felt decent.

Wall St. firm. 80,000 four drive RAID 10 array years (10K servers, 8 years.) Lost drives roughly 2-3 per week. Lost arrays: zero.
That extrapolates cleanly to 160,000 RAID 1 array years.
