We will be starting a Hitachi Data Systems User Group in the LA/OC/SD/Phoenix area which will include legacy BlueArc users and content. The first meeting will be May 16th at McCormick and Schmick’s restaurant in Irvine. The main topic of interest will be today’s announcement of the midrange Hitachi Universal Storage disk, (replacement for the AMS) which can go behind the BlueArc head and can provide significant performance benefits (think streaming).
The first meeting will have mostly HDS speakers, but we want this to become a true User group dominated by user speakers. It will include BlueArc/HNAS content as well as other HDS topics. Meetings will alternate between Southern California and Phoenix, I’m hoping we can have some sessions in LA itself.
Here is some technical information on today’s announcement:
