Finding a Good Home: Choosing the Right Data Store
LISA: Where systems engineering and operations professionals share real-world knowledge about designing, building, and maintaining the critical systems of our interconnected world.
The LISA conference has long served as the annual vendor-neutral meeting place for the wider system administration community. The LISA14 program recognized the overlap and differences between traditional and modern IT operations and engineering, and developed a highly-curated program around 5 key topics: Systems Engineering, Security, Culture, DevOps, and Monitoring/Metrics. The program included 22 half- and full-day training sessions; 10 workshops; and a conference program consisting of 50 invited talks, panels, refereed paper presentations, and mini-tutorials.

Modern high-scale storage systems embody a bewildering variety of interfaces, features, and performance profiles. Starting with an overview of key factors that should drive purchase and design decisions, we'll compare block stores, object stores, file systems, and even databases. Evolutionary trends and emerging technologies will also be highlighted, ranging from new physical media to erasure coding.
Jeff Darcy, Red Hat

Jeff Darcy has been working on distributed storage since 1989, when that meant DECnet and NFSv2. Since then he has played a significant role in the development of clustered file systems, continuous data protection, and other areas. He is currently a developer at Red Hat, with the rare opportunity to work on two open-source distributed file systems - GlusterFS and Ceph - at once.
