This half-day event consists of four lectures addressing the latest trends in storage networking. The four lectures are derived from the program for Storage Day at the 24th Annual Usenix LISA Conference which was held this past November in San Jose, CA. LISA stands for Large Installation System Administration. It is the premier conference for hands-on system administrators. At LISA the presentations were delivered by industry experts (you know, the people who write the technical books and articles), not by product manufacturers.
The program is offered for FREE to IT end users. There is a nominal fee to attend for those who do not work as an end user of information technology.
Why is it free? What's the catch?
The LISA conference is put on by The USENIX Association in conjunction with SAGE, LOPSA, and SNIA. These are all world-class non-profit organizations, and as an IT professional, you should be participating in them! The reason we are offering this program for free is to help promote the LISA conference and these organizations. Our hope is that you will be wowed by the quality of the course content and consider participating in future activities and events.
Who is the intended audience and will it be worth your time?
The lecture materials are intended for a hands-on technical audience: system admins, storage admins, disaster recovery planners, data center managers, etc. We expect that you have a working knowledge of storage, backup system principles, networks, and servers. The course content is particularly useful to those who are responsible for system architecture and for general IT strategy.
Do you have to take a full day out of the office or can you catch just a portion?
The program runs from 9:00am to roughly 2:30pm, but it is broken down into 4 separate lectures with a lunch break in the middle. Feel free to leave early or arrive late. You will still get a lot out of your time investment. See below for the full program.
