It must be September once again… We are only a couple of weeks away from the Storage Developer Conference (SDC) hosted by the Storage Networking Industry Association (SNIA). The even will happen in the Hyatt Regency in beautiful Santa Clara, CA (Silicon Valley) on the week of September 15th. As usual, We’ll also have the SNIA SMB2/SMB3 PlugFest co-located with the SDC event.
For developers working with storage-related technologies, this event gathers a unique crowd and includes a rich agenda that you can find at http://www.storagedeveloper.org. Many of the key industry players are represented and this year’s agenda lists presentations from Dell, EMC, Fujifilm, Fujitsu, GE, Google, HGST, Hitachi, Hortonworks, HP, Huawei, IBM, Inktank, Intel, Mellanox, Microsoft, NetApp, Oracle, Red Hat, Samsung, SanDisk, Seagate, Symantec, Tata, ZTE and many others.
It’s always worth reminding you that the SDC presentations are usually delivered to developers by the actual product development teams and frequently the actual developer of the technology is either delivering the presentation or is in the room to take questions. That kind of deep insight is not common in every conference out there.
Presentations by Microsoft this year include:
