Hi Everyone,
I?d like to invite everyone in the Vancouver area or those visiting, to join us on February 20th (Wednesday) for the first Vancouver StudioSysadmins meeting of 2013.
This month?s topics are ?The Ultimate Remote Workstation Experience?, ? Fluid File System on Compellent Storage?, and ?Application Aware Power Management in Digital Media?
Remote Workstation:Whether it?s movie post-production, animation, CAD design, medical diagnostics, geospatial analysis, or stock trading?all require a powerful computing capability and are usually graphically intensive. Both these requirements are particularly challenging for VDI. However, Teradici?s PCoIP workstation solution benefits from the intrinsic attributes of PCoIP technology and has become the solution of choice for power users looking for maximum remote performance.
Fluid File System: Dell Fluid File System is designed to go beyond the limitations of traditional file systems with a flexible architecture that enables organizations to scale out non-disruptively. The Fluid File System architecture is open-standards based, supports industry-standard protocols and provides innovative features relating to high-availability, performance, efficient data management, data integrity and data protection. As a core component of the Dell Fluid Data architecture, Fluid File System brings differentiated value to the various Dell storage offerings. It is a network attached storage (NAS) file system accessed using CIFS and NFS protocols, but it has features and enhancements that make it unique
Power Management: This session will share how TSO can show you where power is being used to
create revenue and where it is being used to powering inactive servers.
